"Aeroscale has combined sophisticated gear and proprietary software to measure rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag with high precision, achieving accuracy of 0.5 watts on a velodrome."
"Wasted Watts is a new platform that provides near real-time data, allowing cyclists to adjust their position and clothing during rides to optimize performance."
Aeroscale has developed a sophisticated system using a Pitot tube, speed sensor, and cyclist detection to measure rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. It claims an impressive accuracy of 0.5 watts on velodromes and 1 to 3 watts outdoors, despite weather and surface conditions. While current measurements require lab visits and are done in short bursts, Aeroscale plans to introduce Wasted Watts, a platform for real-time data. This advance allows cyclists to optimize ride adjustments on-the-fly, with potential integration into popular cycling computers expected this fall.
