Now everything is tested aerodynamically, wind tunnels are used to optimize performance, and frames, wheels, water bottles are all tested. Even clothing, like my Castelli Stealth Top, is faster than skin.” BigsUsedWaterTechnologyWindSkinsPerformancesImpactFasterWheelsBottlesClothingsBikeTestedTunnelsStealthBig ImpactWater Bottles Author:Timothy O'Donnell
