Senior Bike Test Editor
Giant road bike testing and component analysis
I tear down test rides into repeatable numbers: tire pressure, stack and reach, wheel inertia, braking heat, and Arkansas chip-seal behavior. My reviews compare Giant TCR, Propel, and Defy platforms against baseline builds, so readers know what actually changes when carbon layups, gearing, or fit decisions change.
