BIKE WIND TUNNEL

We are very excited to announce that we can take bookings for wind tunnel sessions in the new wind tunnel at the Silverstone Sports Engineering hub from mid April 2019. We will be using our own developed D2Z instrumentation in the tunnel which has been developed over 10 years of rider testing. We have the experience and engineering background to make sure that results are accurate and your session is worthwhile. The cost of a two hour session will be £850. We have been testing riders in the wind tunnel for over 10 years now – we know what we are doing when it comes to getting the most out of the time you have paid for. We already have a waiting list so if you want to book a session then just contact us and we will offer you a provisional slot. 
Wind tunnel testing is one of the most cost effective ways of improving your performance. An average rider travelling at 40 KPH will have 2kg of drag pulling him/her backwards. You can train hard to produce more power to overcome this, or you can optimize your body position and equipment choices in our bike wind tunnel… that may be the single best way of reducing drag and increasing performance.
During a test we will first analyse your current position to determine a baseline and then advise of changes we believe should be made to your position using our many years of experience in optimising both amateur and professional cyclists. We will work with you during your session to identify the right compromise between aero, power output and comfort over a number of changes to position. This is an iterative process – we look at what is happening to you each step of the way to make sure that we do all we can to make you go faster. A mechanic will be on hand to attend to any equipment changes that may be needed.

Equipment can be tested, although this is time consuming – we are experts in product design and can happily advise on equipment during your session so we find that often money is better spent working on position.
