CLIP or neon?

CLIP gives a smooth assist over bridges and gentler hills. It clips on and off in seconds and moves between bikes, for riders who want assist some days of the week.

neon gives steady power on serious hills, for riders who ride every day and go further. The 3.5 lb neon comes off in seconds and goes with you; with it off, your bike rides like a normal analog bike.
