Findings from real-world riding

Differences found during testing

The C29 Max has more power in reserve, but its PAS levels behave like speed limits and the sensor needs noticeable pedal pressure. The C29 Pro assists more naturally and has a larger battery, although its fork and brakes are simpler. Shorter riders should also consider the tall Duotts frame.
