This morning, I set up an experiment in a totally control environment to duplicate the shifting of both the A and the AE.......What was involved was sitting on a parked bike an mimicking shifting of both models for a 10 second period....The results I found to be astonishing...
I was able to perform 23 shifts manually alternating between up shifting and down shifting on the A model vs 55 shifts i was able to do digitally (hitting the up shift button, then the downshift button on the AE........
The results indicate a proficient rider can shift the AE over twice as fast than the A.
This makes the argument that a manual clutch gives a rider more control a totally invalid & mute one.....as being able to shift in milliseconds which is as fast as your brain can send a signal to your finger to push to button obviously gives you much more control that your feet and hands could ever give you as they are not only lagging behind your brain’s commands to the extent your losing control of the bike having to move your left foot and left hand all around in an unconscious effort to satisfy your brain’s commands...That's probably why Camera crashed in a 15MPH turn on his A.
Then it becomes obviously clear and the fact become unarguable that Digital shifting is not only a much faster way and efficient way to shift, the tune of 125%, but ultimately much, much, safer too....
Don't believe me, try it for yourself.. Although in an uncontrolled environment there might be slight deviations as to the results. ie; drinking several Beers would result in lower performance times for the A, but could increase times for the AE….I will probably experiment with THE BEER factor this weekend and have the results next week.
