The current major
trend in the world of cycling! well highlighted at Eurobike 2015! is the aerodynamics
of the cyclist/bike combination. After chasing grams over Aero Trend 2016 Aero Trend 2016 the last few
years! frames can no longer lose weight without compromising
safety. Mastery of carbon and the choice of fibers buy phone number list now allows us to
work on shapes to obtain frames that are at once light! aerodynamic!
comfortable! and durable. Progress in materials is such that it is now accepted that
even a cyclist riding at 30 km/h on the flat can benefit from
significant gains. Demonstration thanks to the synthesis of very good tests carried out and found in the German magazine TOUR Int! Specialized and Cervelo
websites !
To ride fast! you must first overcome air resistance . As a reminder! it takes eight times more power to double your speed on the flat.

Many tunnel aerodynamic tests are conducted
at simulated speeds of around 45 km/h. This is often the speed of a peloton
or a professional time trial! where b2b lookalikes: generating leads from existing customers 80 to 85% of the drag comes from the air.

of reducing the width of a handlebar from 46 to 42 cm (-25 watts at 45 km/h)! of
its position (-150w!) but also of the gains of a pair of wheels or a
bottle. On this subject the document is very interesting
because we see that depending on the frame a wheel or a clean email bottle will not offer the same
aerodynamic resistance.
Handlebars! position! bottles! wheels:
enough to help you ride faster!
Helmets have also evolved and we can see that we can
get up to 8 watts between classic and lightweight helmets like the Giro
Aéon and the best on the market.
