Test

Location

Our test sites are located in the greater Seattle, WA area.

Weather

To ensure the most accurate results, we only test in the following weather conditions:

  • The road surface must be dry with no active precipitation

  • Steady-state wind must be less than 25% of testing speed (e.g. if targeting 28 mph, the wind speed must be less than 7 mph)

In the event that these conditions are not met, we will work with you to reschedule your test day free of charge.

Initial setup

Initial setup will consist of sensor installation, device pairing, weigh-in and a roll-out. The weigh-in will include your bike, gear and accessories. The roll-out measures the circumference of your wheels and depends on tires, wheels, pressure and system weight.

Test protocol

  • Baseline

  • Test configurations (e.g. helmet or position changes)

  • Baseline repeat

Aero testing involves a lot of high power repeated efforts. Do not expect a recovery day!

  • A well-fitting bike and position

  • A reliable, dual-sided power meter
