This test is big step forward. I mean that it's nearly a scientific approach. You guys have concluded a test series that is nearly an Analisys of Variance (ANOVA). If you would have used this tool you could evaluate a lot of things statistically. I don't want to get too detailed about that method, what I wanted to say is that I really like this methodology, you choose for testing. Overall, I think you did a superb job with this review, and also think that this is a really good way to compare bikes. Hope you continue this in the future, and I wish luck to you in doing this. I'm a bit sad that the Empire has cracked. I assume it's a material failure, but time will tell. Keep up the good work guys! Props!
