Ollie and Si find out if a modern superbike is faster than an out-and-out TT speed machine from yesteryear…

0:16:22 Retro TT Vs Modern Superbike 2: Is Greg LeMond's Old Bike Faster?!

We spin the clock forward a few years, pitting Greg LeMond's retro TT bike, featuring the latest innovation - the tri bar - against a modern superbike!

0:35:15 Cheap Bike Pro Rider Vs Super Bike Amateur Rider - Climb Edition! - In association with @WilierTriestina 👉 https://gcn.eu/Wilier.

We race Astana Qazaqstan Team pro cyclist and Giro d’Italia stage winner, Joe Dombrowski on the budget (and a bit rubbish) Amazon Eurobike, against our amateur rider Ollie on the Wilier 0 SLR super bike, up the iconic Coll de Rates.

0:47:56 Amateur On A $10,000 Bike Vs GCN On A $200 Bike!

Our ex-pro rides on one of the cheapest bikes on the market, the Amazon Eurobike against an amateur rider on a super bike!

0:57:17 Cheap Bike Vs Super Bike: What's The Difference? - In association with @RideShimano 👉 https://gcn.eu/Shimano.

How much difference is there between a Canyon superbike with the Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 hydraulic groupset, and a bike bought from eBay for £90?

Every time a new bike is released increased performance seems to be the selling point. But what if you're more motivated to ride a cooler bike than a faster one?

1:41:51 Pro On A Cheap Amazon Bike Vs GCN Presenters | Tech Vs Talent

Andrew Feather - current British Hill Climb Champion - holds what seems like every major KoM in the UK. So it's not (that) embarrassing that last time we raced him we lost...even though there were four of us...in a relay.

1:51:53 Can You Go Faster If You Break The Rules? In association with Ventum Bikes 👉 https://ventumracing.com.
We put Ventum's UCI-rule-breaking "hyper bike" against their top of the range NS1 to see whether performance is affected when aerodynamics change conventional bicycle design.
