    In Depth 2015 Turbo X Review

    Not an avid cyclist but I do have a flat bar Giant Escape that I use. On the same stretch of road, I noticed I averaged about 18 mph where the Turbo X was around 22 mph with the similar level of effort. I definitely feel the wind resistance when above 22mph so perhaps it is normal.
