I’ve been splitting cards for 15ish years. No particular version of Bikes split better, worse, or easier than another. Sometimes you will encounter a stubborn deck, but more or less all USPCC decks split the same. I have split thin crush stock, bike stock, Bee stock, etc. I was the first person to ever split a deck of Elite Bikes, cause I was the first person outside the factory to hold a deck. No practical difference in the end result thickness from one to another on the thin paper pieces - slight difference with the center glue layer.

The thin layers being a bit thinner (more transparent) or a bit thicker can vary from batch to batch - I’ve seen it happen on standard Bikes, Turners, and Elite, as well as decks from the old factory and the current factory. Just depends on the specific batch.
