Your virtual coach
aerobody uses optical sensors to measure the positions of your head and chest relative to the stem.
During wind-tunnel tests, velodrome sessions or time-trials it is near impossible to maintain a constant body position as the rider fatigues. Body position is the single biggest driver of performance¹. aerobody instantly alerts the rider to deviations in body position and allows correlation of positioning to aerodynamic drag.
Competitive cyclists can spend thousands of pounds optimising their position in the wind tunnel, without knowing if they can maintain it on the track. Until now.

Instantaneous feedback
Using our CIQ app, a datum can be taken for the optimal body position on the bike.
The app instantly alerts the rider to any deviations from their aerodynamic optimum via coloured prompts. White indicates your chosen datum position, blue too low, red too high.
See how your head and chest position change in real-time during a lap, or between laps, on the track or the road.
It can also be used indoors in the wind tunnel or on static trainers, allowing the rider to train in their best aero position no matter the weather.
The data is accurate to within 1mm, and the CIQ app records body position data throughout the ride to a FIT file for comparison with aerodynamic drag data.
