Aerodynamics equals Performance

Aerodynamic drag is the largest resistance riders face, accounting for up to 90% of the total power required.

26 Watts

The average time saving from an aero bike fit is twenty six Watts.

More power saved in a single fit than most riders gain in the whole season.

Existing Solutions Fall Short

The value of aerodynamics is understand by performance cyclists and bike fitters alike, but quality insights are hard to come by:

❌ Wind Tunnels - Inaccessible, Expensive

❌Field Testing - Dependent on Weather

❌Simple Tools - Inaccurate

❌Guessing - No Proof

The AiRO logo is inspired by “the airfoil and the cylinder” shown to incoming aerospace engineering students across the globe, explaining why frontal area alone is insufficient.

The airfoil is the same drag as the cylinder while being 20x bigger.

THE SCIENCE
BEHIND AIRO

  • AiRO is built on cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the same technology trusted in Formula One and WorldTour cycling.

    Combined with an AI-powered 3D parametric human model we can bring the power of the wind tunnel to your device at home. Faster and cheaper.

  • Ingmar Jungnickel has spent a decade in cycling aerodynamics, having led the aerodynamics department at Specialized Bicycles.

    He is the 2018 US Olympic Committee Sports Science Coach of the Year.

    Konstantin Usachev is Ingmars former colleague at Specialized and an experienced sotware systems developer.

    Dr. Matt Williams added his tremendous experience as former lead CFD engineer at McLaren F1 and Bahrain McLaren in the development of the CFD algorithms

  • AiRO uses the same industry standard CFD approaches used in aerospace and Formula 1 and is based on peer reviewed academic literature.

  • AiRO was compared against wind tunnel tests where it showed excellent correlation. As compute performance and algorithms improve rapidly, we are constantly improving our approaches.

  • Funded by a US Olympic Innovation Grant, AiRO has already been the edge in winning a world championship—shaping the fastest athletes when it mattered most.

HOW
IT WORKS

Step 1 - Build Digital Aero Twin

Upload your clients height, weight & photo. AiRO builds a digital Aero Twin in three minutes.

Step 2 - Recreate Baseline Position

Recreate your clients real life position, using sliders. You can overlay an image.

Step 3 - Simulate Airflow

Spin up multiple of our cloud-based 192 core super computers to get results in 7 minutes per run.

Step 4 - Repeat & Compare

Iterate. Try new positions and compare.

Step 5 - Set the Final Position

Set up your client in the fastest position. AiRO helps with measurements and our outline overlay.

FAQ

  • AiRO is wind tunnel validated and the CFD approach is based on peer-reviewed academic literature. Because the Digital Aero Twin sits perfectly still every time, we eliminate the biggest source of error in other aero tests, allowing to give results with similar accuracy to wind tunnel tests.

  • No special gear is required. AiRO runs on atablet, on pc and mac, or in the browser —only a camera is needed. It’s designed to bring world-class aero testing to where you need it.

  • AiRO can analyze rider position and helmet choice — all personalized to their own Digital Aero Twin (patent pending). We test the position without a bike. This allows us to keep simulations affordable and fast, while not affecting the quality of the recommendations.
