If you\u2019re looking to ride your bike faster, aerodynamic drag is typically the biggest thing holding you back.<\/p>\n

Upgrading to a dedicated aero road bike<\/a> can come at significant cost, though.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are plenty of other bits of kit that don\u2019t cost the earth but can dramatically decrease your overall aerodynamic drag.<\/p>\n

To find out what the best-value aero upgrades are, we enlisted the help of Stephen Roche of The Bike Tailor<\/a> (an expert in bike fitting, aero testing and custom builds based in London and Brighton), and the wind tunnel at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub.<\/p>\n

With Roche\u2019s help, we put a range of products and riding positions to the test to find out which offer the biggest aero gains for the least money.<\/p>\n
