In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The V100 Mandello and Tracer 9 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Tracer 9 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the V100 Mandello, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the V100 Mandello. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the Tracer 9, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the v100mandello if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the tracer9 if you want the alternative brand character.
