Velodrome Testing with WattShop
Dan Bigham

"Using the aerodynamic analysis software from A Faster You was a game changer during my Hour Record attempt at the Velodrome in Grenchen. When every fraction of a watt matters, this tool helped me identify exactly where I could gain those crucial metres. I'd recommend it to any athlete who wants to ride faster and smarter."

Outdoor Testing

Flexible testing solution for athletes - conduct tests on your own schedule

Independent Testing

Athletes can test anywhere with a suitable 1km route

  • Test on any flat 1km route with minimal traffic
  • Same aeroAPP guidance and automation
  • Advanced wind calculation and correction
  • Wind gust detection and filtering
  • Automatic data sync to team account
  • Machine learning-based validation

Outdoor Testing Requirements

  • Flat 1000m route with minimal elevation change
  • Low traffic for safety and consistency
  • Moderate wind conditions (< 20 km/h recommended)
  • Stable weather conditions during test

While outdoor testing is more accessible, velodrome testing provides the highest precision due to controlled conditions.

Outdoor Test Protocol

Each test consists of two identical runs (outbound and inbound) for wind cancellation:

Outdoor Aerotest execution diagram

Outbound Run

1

Accelerate to target power (typically 200-300W)

2

Start recording at defined marker point

3

Maintain constant power and position for exactly 1000m

4

Mark end position (turn-around point)

5

Turn around safely

Inbound Run

6

Accelerate to same target power

7

Return run with constant power and position

8

Stop at original start marker

9

aeroAPP validates data and calculates CdA

10

Repeat for additional setups or validation

Why Two Runs?

Riding the same distance in opposite directions mathematically cancels wind effects, allowing accurate CdA measurement in outdoor conditions.

Wind effects are mathematically cancelled
Each pair of runs = one valid test
Typically 3-4 pairs per setup recommended
Total test time: 30-45 minutes per setup

Systematic Optimization

The simplest aerodynamic gains come from systematic equipment testing. Even basic changes like aerodynamic water bottles can yield significant time savings.

Test helmets, skinsuits, wheels, and position changes systematically. Our software enables professional teams to make data-driven equipment decisions.

Common Optimization Areas:

  • Helmet selection and positioning
  • Skinsuit and clothing optimization
  • Wheel and equipment selection
  • Body position and bike fit
  • Accessory optimization

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Aerotest

Aerotest measures your aerodynamic drag coefficient (CdA) and rolling resistance (Crr) using GPS data from outdoor rides or velodrome laps. No wind tunnel required - just ride your normal routes and we calculate your exact aero profile.
Aerotest Outdoor achieves accuracy within 2-3% of wind tunnel results when conditions are suitable (low wind, consistent temperature). Velodrome testing is even more accurate. Our technology is trusted by World Tour team Visma | Lease a Bike.
Yes! Aerotest Outdoor is completely free for all users. We're proud to make professional aerodynamic testing accessible to everyone. Premium features like advanced analysis and velodrome protocols are included in the subscription.
For outdoor testing: a power meter, GPS device, and ideally a temperature sensor (most Garmin devices have one). For velodrome testing: a power meter and our AeroApp on your phone for automatic lap detection.
Find a flat, sheltered road (low wind is crucial). Ride multiple out-and-back efforts at steady power. Upload your file, and we'll calculate your CdA and Crr. Our GPS-guided protocol shows you exactly when conditions are suitable.
Velodrome testing uses the controlled environment of an indoor track for maximum accuracy. With our AeroApp, your phone automatically detects each lap. Change positions or equipment between laps to instantly see the time difference.
A 10% improvement in CdA (e.g., from 0.250 to 0.225 m²) saves approximately 12 minutes over 180km at 300W. That's more than any other single factor - more than losing weight or increasing power!
Absolutely! Many bike fitters use Aerotest to validate position changes. You can see exactly how each adjustment affects your CdA. Compare positions, helmets, skinsuits, or any equipment change.
Crr measures how much energy your tires lose to the road surface. We're the only platform that separates CdA from Crr - so you know exactly where your watts are going. This helps you choose the fastest tires for your conditions.
Wind tunnels cost €500-2000 per session and require travel. Aerotest gives you unlimited testing for free (outdoor) or as part of your subscription. While wind tunnels are slightly more accurate in ideal conditions, Aerotest lets you test in real-world conditions where you actually race.
