This week on the BikeRadar Podcast, Ashley Quinlan and Warren Rossiter tackle the biggest stories from the past seven days – starting with Trek’s newly updated Domane endurance bike. Could it best the likes of the Giant Defy and Cannondale Synapse? We also talk about the other big launch of the week by Cube, with a slew of great-value bikes including the new Litening Aero C:68X and refreshed Attain line-up.
