Interesting perspective. It's like you think the engine perceives load and gets stronger (heavier load).

Maybe you mean that the two main things that affect hp output (rpm and throttle opening) result in less than, or peak hp for the engine. Well, YES. Peak horsepower on an rpm curve is the standard output of the DYNO.

But peak hp for the engine actually does not change.

For instance, you can obtain higher torque to climb a steep hill by shifting to a low gear. Seems like higher hp, but the same amount of work is being done...I mean, The overall kWatts of power is the same as pushing the bike through the air at 75mph. That's horse power.

Torque is a MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE, but you expend the same amount of kW (hp).

Got to admit, your argument sounds like AI generated. No real intuition.
