Wind Tunnel Testing
Wind tunnel testing offers cyclists the opportunity to optimizse their riding position through analysis of body geometry analysis, bike set up and power output.
Wind Tunnel testing will appeal to two distinct customers and Velo Science is developing facilities to meet the needs of both:
- Product development for high end manufacturers and professional athletes. At this level fan speed, test section size and the fidelity of instrumentation must be maximized in order to provide a very accurate tool repeatable to less than 0.1% accuracy.
- Amateur riders who require position optimization on a limited budget. Given that the amateur rider is far from optimized, large gains can be made with a lower level of measurement fidelity. A repeatability level as high as 0.5% will yield significant gains. Velo Science has developed a new wind tunnel test protocol to meet the needs of the amateur cyclist called Drag 2 Zero.
