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.
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.
