AeroExplore puts you in the driving seat of your performance. For more basic* testing to understand the relative performance of different equipment (e.g. skinsuits, helmets or socks/overshoes), this session introduces athletes to the wind tunnel to gain an understanding of the potential benefits of testing and optimising their setup.

Your 2 hour session:

• Assess the differences in CdA between different equipment/setup changes
• Learn how the wind tunnel works and gain an insight to facilities and processes used by product developers, R&D consultancies and elite-level athletes
• Explore different variables by limiting speed/yaw angle sweeps, or focus more on robustness of data by repeating runs (to validate the result) or run setup changes at a greater sample rate over more speed/yaw sweeps
• A basic summary of results will be sent after the session

* For serious athletes looking to work with our expert consultants for run plan support and input, we recommend the AeroFocus and AeroPower sessions below.

Our AeroFocus session is aimed at riders wanting to exclusively explore and optimise their aerodynamic profile. Using our state-of-the-art Wind Tunnel, we investigate how changes in body position and equipment convert to improvements in speed on the road or track.

Your 2 hour session:

• Wind tunnel profiling and test runs: 90 min
• Setup and briefing
• Expert consultation and guidance for you and your event
• Baseline (current position) analysis
• Run-by-run guidance on positional or setup changes
• Within-run yaw sweep (cross-wind) and speed sweep (different wind speed capabilities)
• Access to equipment testing as required
• Gains quantification and on-the-road performance predictions
• Review, debrief and recommendations.

The AeroPower session is for competitive athletes looking to maximise their potential on the bike for training and racing. By combining sessions from the Human Performance Studio and the SSEH Wind Tunnel, we’re able to run a full programme focused on optimising your aerodynamic position and, ultimately, speed on two wheels.

At the end of the session, you’ll have a review which will cover your biomechanical functional profile as well as any data-driven performance modelling, where we can convert changes in your aerodynamic profile to time or Watts saved in an example race.

Your 6 hour session:

• Assess the current set-up for comfort, power, pedalling effectiveness, aerodynamics and overall efficiency
• Establish the functional range and limits for a biomechanically effective and sustainable aero position
• Run-by-run feedback on positional changes
• Real-world performance predictions
• Comprehensive positional measurements to take away
• Summary report and recommendations (within 14 days)
• Recommendation and guidance on equipment choice for chosen events
