Have you ever put your mitts on a Suplicy Quantum?
I've field tested them against each other (P4) in 54cm for both.
P4 bottle installed. Ventus 1 bars, slightly trimmed.
Quantum running a Bontrager aero bottle. Ventus 1 bars (trimmed heavily). Blackwell Time Bandit fork.
The crown to frame transition is bad compared to the P4, but it was still faster. On the order of 3W in no-wind conditions.
To be frank, I don't know anything about the Suplicy Quantum. Regarding my P4 setup though, I never went ventum because I want to be lower than the ventum will get me. Instead I am negative stem with a super clean pair of older devox bars.
I suspect that the ventums would test better in the tunnel on a bike only test, but I KNOW that if I go up on my stack while on the bike, I start creating drag, so even though the ventums are super badass, they don't work for me.
