01_WINDTUNNEL_NEW

 

FASTER’s Wind Tunnel is the world’s first and only purpose built Wind Tunnel specifically designed for cycling. Every element of its design and features were conceived with Cyclists, Triathletes and Manufacturers in mind. FASTER believes that it will help to redefine how accessible and feasible aerodynamic testing is to both athletes and manufacturers. The FASTER Wind Tunnel will launch in September 2011. The FASTER Speed Lab will encompass HR, Cadence, Wattage, Ventilation, 3D and 2D Fitting technology and a few new parameters that will give more detailed information about the effects of different Yaw angles on cyclists.

 

 

FASTER offers two levels of wind tunnel service:

 

1. FASTER Speed Lab Wind Tunnel Evaluation – $599

This is an hourly rate working with our in-house engineer to provide aerodynamic data and feedback. This service is most appropriate for the following scenarios:

 

  • The person that likes to work on refining their own position and how changes will impact or improve their own aerodynamic drag in competition,
  • The person who wants to evaluate how different helmets, wheels, or various items work best for that rider’s unique existing bike, riding style, setup, flexibility, etc.
  • The cycling industry manufacturer who is evaluating an existing product, or developing a new product.

 

2. Advanced 3D Speed Lab Fitting (2 hours Fit Lab + 1hr wind tunnel) – $949

For athletes who want to be completely optimized, a more sophisticated level of service is adding biomechanical fit to their wind tunnel session where power output and respiration rate will be evaluated as aerodynamic drag is determined.  It is our belief that an athlete will be at their maximum potential after this service with no experimentation or tweaking required – simply race and go FASTER than ever before.

 

 

FASTER Speed Lab highlights:

  • Evaluation of an individual cyclist’s existing aerodynamic drag and how position or equipment changes the rider’s drag.
  • Comprehensive proprietary 2D and 3D wind tunnel fitting technology that can also measure power, HR and respiration.
  • Research and development resource for bike industry manufacturers to evaluate and develop products
