Years in the making, a startup company sees its ‘wearable motion measurement tool’ as the next big thing for biking (and beyond).
A drone hovers, filming the action. Cyclists race past, rocketing around a giant track. It’s a Thursday night in Los Angeles, and I’ve been invited to witness a product purported to be substantial for the future of the sport.
The venue is the VELO Sports Center and its 250-meter indoor wood racing track. The company is LEOMO, Inc., an upstart selling what it calls the “next frontier of wearable technology.”

Decades ago, athletes and coaches began using heart-rate monitors to gauge output and dial training plans. Today, cyclists further quantify physicality with power meters, a standard tool, which distil output in watts.
LEOMO believes the next step is something called motion analysis. At a high-level, this term refers to the assessment of body movements to build and display data for improving efficiency during sport.
