Outdoor Aero Testing

Description

Time trial performance has been one of my key focuses in the past few years. During this time, we have gathered a number of wins and podium placings in national and international events.

Many riders are looking for the fastest equipment possible, not recognizing the fact that no bike setup will be fast without properly adapting it to the rider using aero testing.

Making changes like these is almost impossible to get right without solid data based feedback, and is guesswork at best. To overcome this challenge, we have developed a testing protocol that enables riders to maximize the potential offered by their equipment, while we also consult on possible upgrades and modifications.

The testing takes places on a secluded stretch of bike path with no motorized traffic, corners or undulations and a perfectly smooth tarmac surface. This ensures the repeatability and consistency of the results. Outdoor aero testing is greatly influenced by the weather conditions. While the equipment can compensate for changes, still conditions are preferable, ideally with gusts below 20km/h. Testing in wet weather is not possible. Temperature is not that much of a factor, but it has to be warm enough so that the rider can still use race equipment on the day. For 2024, we have upgraded to the state of the art Aerosensor system to provide robust and reliable rest results.

Because of these restrictions, the weather forecast will be considered when scheduling your test event. Please inquire via email for further details.

Typical savings range between 15-30W @45km/h
