A Bike Fitter's Top 3 Race Bikes

EOFY Sale: https://www.roadcyclingacademyracing.... Bike Fit Fundamentals: https://roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-f... What makes a great race bike? In this episode of the Road Cycling Academy Podcast, expert bike fitter Neill Stanbury shares his top three race bikes—but not for the reasons most cyclists expect. Rather than focusing on stiffness, weight, or aero claims, Neill explains why geometry, sizing options, and adjustability are the factors that matter most when choosing a performance road bike. The three bikes discussed are: 🚴 Pinarello Dogma – arguably the most comprehensive sizing range in modern road cycling, making it one of the easiest bikes to fit accurately. 🚴 Cannondale SuperSix EVO – a race bike that offered a slightly taller front end, making it an excellent option for cyclists who want race-bike performance without an ultra-aggressive position. 🚴 Polygon Helios A-Series – one of the most aggressive race bike geometries available today, ideal for flexible riders seeking a low and aerodynamic position. Throughout the discussion, Neill explains how different frame geometries suit different riders and why finding the right bike for your body can have a greater impact on comfort, performance and long-term enjoyment than chasing marginal aerodynamic gains. If you're currently shopping for a new road bike, struggling with bike fit, or wondering which race bike geometry is best for you, this episode is packed with practical insights from one of cycling's most respected bike fitters. #cycling #racebikes #bikefitter
