A year-in-review of cycling tech, highlighting trends and lessons learned from creating 101 cycling videos. The author explores the potential of at-home aero testing technology but finds it still lacking in 2024. Van Rysel is also recognized as a brand with significant success in 2024.
It’s been a busy year in the world of bikes and I’ve been lucky enough to try out loads of new cycling tech, so just like a Spotify Wrapped or Strava’s year in review, I thought I’d sum up my year on the bike and let you know which tech trends I think are here to stay and some things I’ve learnt along the way.
Some of them might be a little bit more controversial than others… You'll find links to all the videos mentioned below but if you want to be first to see our YouTube content then make sure you're subscribed to theI am a self proclaimed data nerd and so when we got wind…no pun in intended…of tech that could tell you how slippery you are I was pretty excited! Over the year, I tried out the Aerosensor system, I then tried the Body Rocket system which sort of expands on that with more sensors and then recently I’ve been playing with the huge Wahoo Elemnt Ace which kind of tries to package all of this tech into a more user friendly brick for your bars… All three of these devices showed plenty of promise, more than enough to convince me that aero tech is going to be big business…in 2024 though…we’re just not quite there, the Aerosensor isn’t overly user friendly and needs near perfect riding conditions, the Body Rocket system shows that you can get an accurate CdA outside of an expensive wind tunnel but it’s still prohibitively expensive and at the moment only for TT bikes and the Elemnt Ace’s wind sensor, well that just feels a bit unfinished. So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see whether 2025 is the year that at home aero testing becomes a mainstream reality.If I had to choose one brand that I think has had the most success in 2024 then it’s got to be Van Rysel, and from what I’ve seen don’t be surprised if it continues it’s upwards trajectory over the next few year
