We Test 7 Tour De France Bikes From 7 Decades

Join us as we explore seven decades of cycling history by riding seven iconic Tour de France bikes, from a 1957 steel Fiorelli to the cutting-edge 2026 Pinarello Dogma F. We dive into how innovations like indexed shifting, carbon fiber, and aerodynamics transformed the race, taking average speeds from 25km/h to over 40km/h. See how these legendary machines compare on the road and find out why the "J-curve" of bike technology is more dramatic than ever before.
