Fairly insignificant. I was actually expecting to feel a bit more drivetrain loss. I've seen an independent testing analysis of the p18 gearbox that showed around 5% loss over a conventional drivetrain; feels that that might be in the ballpark. NBD in practice. This bike has some miles on it, so the gearbox should be properly broken in. Apparently they're a bit tighter when new.
