Setup
Bike only: no rider, no pedals, no bottle cages. Both wheels driven by rollers at 45 km/h. Bikes as delivered with their stock wheels and tyres. Results corrected to 20 °C and sea-level pressure.
Issue 7/2024. Stated tolerance ±0.5 W. Frame sizes differ (M, M/L or L), which RennRad says affects the values. The MyVelo Lisboa is a triathlon/TT bike measured with aerobar extensions; the Canyon Ultimate CFR is a non-aero reference bike and the 3T Exploro Race a gravel bike. RennRad's web article prints only 6 of the 13 bikes; the full table is in the magazine pages, hosted by Simplon: https://www.simplon.com/01_Website/Testberichte-Magazine/PDFs_Testberichte/2024_07_PRIDE-II_Aero-Test_RennRad.pdf
