Aero Position

Aerodynamic Testing

Aerodynamic testing is an assessment of your aerodynamic drag. Drag can be influenced by any of the following and more:

  • Body Position
  • Helmet
  • Wheels
  • Skinsuit

Even a slight improvement can shave minutes off of you bike leg without any increase in effort.

For example:

A rider going at 36km/hr pedalling a constant 220W on a flat course. We assess this rider to see that he has a CdA value of 0.28 which is a typical Ironman value. By improving their CdA value by 10% to 0.25 the rider can now expect to travel at 38.3km/hr. Over a half Ironman distance of 90km, this is a time saving of nearly 9 minutes. This change in CdA is a relatively small improvement which can be achieved simply with equipment selection.
