Less suited to covering ground efficiently with the minimum of fuss. ie smaller wheels to be more lively/less comfortable (delete dependant on viewpoint), geometry designed to make descending faster and less nervous (whut we just designed the wheels to make it more nervous)/climbing more floppy and front wheel more likely to want to go over your ears etc
Possibly best summed up as if you go on a group ride and everyone stops at the top of a climb to rest/descend/session/talk, do you:-
a) get pissed off - get a Spark/Scale
b) fire up the go pro and don your knee pads - get a fun bike
I'm at z) - I don't stop which is why I have no friends
