AERO FIT
Below is a full breakdown of the Boardman Aero Fit service. By simply adding this service to one of our coaching packages we can spread the costs over a 12 month period and create the most complete coaching package in the UK.  All aerodynamic coaching packages are a 12 month contract. 
AERODYNAMIC & BIOMECHANICAL OPTIMISATION COMBINED

For the competitive rider requiring a combined bike-fit and wind-tunnel session for an integrated aerodynamic and biomechanical position optimisation. Ideal for the rider who has not been in the wind-tunnel before..
MAIN BENEFITS
​
  • Assess current set-up for aerodynamics, pedalling effectiveness and overall efficiency
  • Establish the functional range and limits for a biomechanically effective and sustainable aero position
  • Fine tune position for combined aerodynamics, power and efficiency
  • Reduce risk of injury and discomfort
  • 60-min wind-tunnel time with our expert aerodynamicists
  • Run-by-run guidance on positional changes
  • Gains quantification and on-the-road performance predictions
  • Comprehensive positional measurements to take away
  • Website portal access for data, video and photography
  • Debrief (15-min) and recommendations
  • Summary report and recommendations
  • Recommendation and guidance on product selection for chosen events
DURATION
​
  • Total assessment time: Up to 4 hours, incl 60 min of wind-tunnel time
  • Wind tunnel profiling and test runs: 90 min, approx (up to 10 runs)
  • Exercise: 50 min total, approx
  • Setup and briefing: 15 min
  • Review and debrief: 15 min

​RECOMMENDED FOR
  • Rider ambition: Competitive; being the best they can be
  • Event type: Any speed event, e.g. time-trial, triathlon, road-racing, track, downhill mountain-biking
  • Experience: Intermediate to advanced; professional rider; new to the wind tunnel
  • When: Anytime, but ideal for the off-season and pre-season preparation; we recommend an AeroFit is undertaken annually or whenever there is a requirement for a notable change to the bike and positional setup. Additional wind tunnel time can be accessed separately and is ideal for fine-tuning the position and testing different configurations
OUR STRATEGY

  • Cycling-specific musculoskeletal assessment: on- and off-bike screening of structural and functional limitations
  • Functional profile: identify musculoskeletal risks and limits across the positional range, and for specific types of competitive riding
  • Positional optimisation: increase pedalling effectiveness and efficiency; minimise discomfort; reduce pain and injury risk
  • Integrated bike-fit and aero positional optimisation: minimise losses in power and maintain effectiveness in aerodynamic position(s)
  • Position-specific capabilities: establish the functional range for biomechanically effective power production for different competitive demands, e.g. the relationships and balance of power versus comfort versus aero
  • Aerodynamic expertise: take advantage of our world-leading experience in aerodynamics and set the direction of investigation correctly from the start
  • Run-by-run feedback: immediate data insight within the run itself, and continuous expert guidance for positional or equipment changes
  • Highly advanced technical capabilities: enjoy using the most advanced wind tunnel available for cyclists, with within-run yaw-sweep capabilities (+/- 30 degrees) and testing at different wind speeds (up to 80 km/h). We can also cater for most bike types and sizes
  • Access to test equipment, clothing and accessories: bring your own or take advantage of our wide range of wheels, bars, helmets and clothing, allowing you to trial options before purchasing. We carry a variety of components to help optimise position (standard stems, basebars, pads & risers, and extensions) and a limited selection of manufacturer specific components for integrated cockpits. Contact us for more details
  • Aero test bikes: do more in less time; use our instrumented and adapted aero test bikes. We transfer your baseline position to our tunnel bikes to allow rapid adjustment in position and setup
  • Aerodynamic profile: a comprehensive and accessible data record, cataloguing each run and including video and high-resolution photography
  • Performance modelling: identify how changes to your aerodynamic profile convert to increased speed on the road, or in power saved
