If you look at track cycling, you will notice nearly everybody in pursuit or team pursuit is moving to mantis. Same for Hour Records. With the limit of UCI rule (10cm maximum from bottom of pad to top of bar).
Because it is more efficient aero.
And with power output very high (around PMA for individual pursuit, and burst to 150% of PMA for team pursuit).
And look at the shoulders : no much rock and roll
OK, RPM are higher, but force on pedal is still higher than in TT or Tri
If you rock and roll shoulders on track, someone will quickly explain to you that you need to work on your core.
Maybe mantis make R&R shoulder more difficult, then is a problem if your core is not strong enough ?
