we don't seek for perfection, but for optimization

NARROW AND Aero!

WHAT is
IT?

Aerodynamic Consultancy allows to quantify the parameters related to the different energy losses while pedaling, with the aim of minimizing the frontal area and aerodynamic drag. Real time, on-road conditions are tested.

HOW IS IT
DONE?

00

BIOMECHANICAL STUDY

During this protocol, a series of positional interventions, modifications in the configuration and dimension of components, among other changes, will be carried out. As such, the athlete must first conduct a Biomechanical Study at our facilities, before contemplating Aerodynamic Consulting. This way we can assure that the necessary changes are based on the methodology and procedures implemented by us.

01

BODY COMPOSITION

The first stage consists of measuring Weight, Muscle Perimeters and 9 Skinfolds, in order to estimate the Percentages of Fat Mass and Lean Mass. Muscle Size is directly related to the Frontal Area exposed to the wind, one of the most relevant metrics for Aerodynamic Optimization. A projection for a given time-frame, for potential optimization of these parameters is also provided.

02

ROAD TESTing

Wind Tunnels and Velodromes are completely controlled environments, with immense restrictions and limitations. Only by testing on the road is possible to truly analyze the biomechanics, movement patterns, body dynamics, the influence of road roughness, turbulent air flow, the impact of atmospheric variables and the effects of wind speed and direction on the athlete's performance.

03

PROTOCOL

It consists on the execution of a series of efforts carried out at a pre-defined intensity or speed, on a section of road closed to the traffic, in a straight line, with approx. 400 to 800 meters. Each test comprises approximately 3 to 5 out-and-back tests (depending on the convergence of the data) on the aforementioned road segment.
