The 7 Ways Bike Companies Lie To You

from The BikeRadar Podcast · host Our Media

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ This week on the BikeRadar podcast, Jack and Simon are back to discuss all the tricks bike companies use to make their wares as juicy and exciting as possible. From the secrets behind how a bike’s weight is determined, to unsubstantiated performance claims and downright lies about a product’s specs, they pull back the curtain and reveal all. We also discuss the two recently bikes from Specialized, and whether they might be the long awaited Tarmac SL9 and an updated Crux. Plus, with an eye on bikes a few more of us can actually afford, they discuss Canyon’s latest Grizl AL gravel bike. We finish with the sad news that Niner bikes laid off all employees, according to reporting by James Huang, and lament the demise of a brand that Jack once loved. Learn more about your ad choices.
