Virtual Wind Tunnel at Human Powered Health

Master Aero Efficiency

A Virtual Wind Tunnel assessment at Human Powered Health is a data-driven, personalized process designed to optimize your aerodynamic efficiency and power output on the bike. Using advanced video analysis and real-time measurements, our International Bike Fitting Institute certified engineers will assess how your body position impacts air resistance. This helps cyclists reduce drag and gain speed whether you're racing, training or chasing a personal best.

How

Bring us your bike! (We have elevators.) Using a high-speed webcam and green screen backdrop, the Virtual Wind Tunnel technology measures your frontal area, the part of the body pushing against the wind. As you ride, you’ll get live feedback on how position changes affect your aerodynamic profile. Our bike fit engineers will coach you through adjustments in real time, helping you lower drag and fine-tune your posture while riding. As an add-on to the full Bike Fit experience, the Virtual Wind Tunnel is only $75, or it can be booked individually for $150.

How often

We recommend using the Virtual Wind Tunnel at key points in your season. Before an important race, after a major position change or when switching between bikes. Even subtle changes in gear or setup can effect your aero performance and the Virtual Wind Tunnel will help you dial your position in with precision.
