Is on-bike aero measurement ready for lift-off? <\/p>

What if you could have a wind tunnel on your bike? With its new real-time aerodynamic drag measurement system, Body Rocket is promising just that.<\/p>

A number of brands have promised to bring these capabilities to cycling in recent years, but so far, none have gone mainstream. This time, though, it could be different.<\/p>

Body Rocket has been working on its system for a number of years, but when the brand finally offered us the chance of a test ride, our interest was piqued.<\/p>

To find out whether we might all be riding around with drag sensors on our bikes in the near future, I headed to Palmer Park Velodrome, in Reading.<\/p>

Most importantly, I found that Body Rocket\u2019s system worked. The brand also had an unexpected trick up its sleeve in the form of an AI-powered assistant app.<\/p>

The question remains, though \u2013 what do Body Rocket and other aero sensor manufacturers need to do for their technology to finally go mainstream?<\/p>
