The bikes tested were the Trek Madone, Specialized Venge Vias, Canyon Aeroroad, Cervelo S5, and the Giant Propel Advanced SL. You can click on the link to check their methodology. I wish they had an addendum detailing how each bike was setup. All I can do is take them at their word that each bike was "setup in as close a riding position to each other as possible."
What I found interesting was that while the Trek and the Specialized were basically identical and the Canyon and Cervelo were close, the Giant Propel was sloooowwww. Like.... 20-30 watts slower than the Madone/Venge. I don't really have an explanation as to why that would be without knowing more about their methodology or without observing the test.
....keep in mind this is at 45km/h so adjust accordingly.
