ACE Wind Tunnel Cycling System was developed in order to help manufacturers and cyclists to improve their aerodynamics and to make them faster ! |
Real Life conditions at ACE Wind Tunnel ?
ACE Wind Tunnel reproduces accurately : -The riders speed from 25 to 145 kph. -Side wind thanks to a automatic Yaw angle system from 0 à 30°. -Real life conditions through an adjustable brake for Power simulation. ACE's Wind Tunnel will give you the opportunity to test up to 40 configurations per hour.

The Real World :
Our system provides a pedaling resistance up to 500 Watts with a Side wind platform in order to represente any real world situation aimed to be improved.
In parrallel, the power the cyclist is delivering can be measured through a Powermeter (SRM,... ). Therefore a unique comparison of the overall performance and efficiency, can be made with bio-mechanical to aerodynamics comparison being possible ! |
Picture system
With our picture system, Sideview and Frontview pictures will be taken at each position to help you understanding the aerodynamics gain and capabilities. |
Live information and results !
Thanks to the result live screening ont the floor every cyclist coming get all the information possible.
This leads to an instaneous information transmission, as the effect of a position change is straight brought to the cyclist, while the wind tunnel is running ! |
Protocol, Bio mechanics and Coaching :
Therefore if you need advices or a complete bio mechanichal analisys, we can introduces you to the leader system to help in choosing the methods that will match your willings. With the cyclist's feedback, a coach can bring the instructions in order to make it as profitable as possible.
The results are provided on a table form including drag, Cd, watts, wind speed, time saved by the modification, and pictures for each configuration tested.

Informations before coming :
For a complete test session, you will need fitted on your bike :
- a wheel speed sensor. - a pedalling frequency sensor. - a Power measurment system such as a SRM, Qarq, Powertap, Keo Power (option).
-to give us in advance the wheelbase of your bicycle.
Therfore for a complete test including wind tunnel and advice, the cost is :
-600 Euros including taxes per hour. |
