Mountain Bike Slick Tire

if speed is my goal will a road bike be that much better than a mountain with slick tires?
Also I can average about 16-17 on the mountan bike. What could I expect with a road bike.
absolutely! the road bike will be significantly lighter & will usually have much larger cranks that result in higher gearing. I would not be surprised if you could average 2-4 mph faster on a road bike right off the bat.
I just recently bought my 1st road bike (2mos ago) after riding mountain for many years & that is what I experienced
