A startup aims to bring real-time aerodynamic drag data to the masses with three onboard sensors and Garmin computer integration.
Aero gear is great, but it will only get you so far. The pros know this, which is why they spend hours optimizing their body positions in wind tunnels. But unless you’ve got money and time to burn (and who does?), wind tunnel optimization sessions are a severe financial and logistical strain.
That’s why Body Rocket’s forthcoming direct-force drag measurement system is so exciting and — dare we say — game-changing for committed amateurs looking for a speed boost.
Body Rocket built the system around three sensors: at the seat post, stem, and pedals. The sensors measure six factors: force, air pressure, wind speed, acceleration, inclination, and weight. Body Rocket claims to be the only system that measures rider force separately from the bike.
