Didn't the article point out the test only included tires up to 25mms? I only skimmed it briefly as I know what I prefer to ride and that is all that matters in the end. It was interesting that Specialized who started making very nice Turbo clinchers in the mid 80's seemed to no longer be a "leader" in the rolling resistance arena. But Specialized has sure grown a bit over the years.

Respectively,

What funny about the article is the magazine appeals to people who ride modern bikes that probably would not clear a tire over 25mm
