It was interesting to note that some of the top end road bikes today
are posting 120 N/mm of bottom bracket stiffness and 90 Nm/degree of
headtube torsional stiffness while fork stiffness is way at at almost
200 Nm/degree.


Are this values signifying the stuff to be very stiff or not very
stiff.



That's stiff considering that that frame (Canyon Ultimate CF SLX) weigh
less then 900 gr and the fork less than 300 gr.
