In this triple headed review we'll be comparing the Winspace T1500 (with SRAM Force 1X and Winspace Hyper wheels), the Giant Propel Advanced One (with Shimano Ultegra and Giant SLR2 wheels), and the Merida Reacto 6000 (with Shimano Ultegra and Fulcrum racing 800 wheels). I will be discussing weight, geometry and design, speed tests, my riding experiences, and my personal pick of the bunch (rounding out with my review ratings system).
