Best Answer

The speed at which a cyclist can go uphill is determined by the amount of power he or she can generate and the weight of the rider and the bicycle. The lighter the bike, the better it is for climbing. Light weight is also good for acceleration. Composite materials make it possible to build very light bikes that are still quite strong and stiff.
