🎯 Speed Priority Check

Where to invest first to save time over 40 km? Position, tires, helmet, cockpit, wheels: the real speed gains hierarchy for age-groupers.

v1.3 — Course-weighted speed gains
🇫🇷 FR 🇬🇧 EN

Your speed profile

A specific TT/triathlon bike fit (not just saddle adjustment) with postural analysis.
If you regularly sit up on the bike, you lose most of your aero benefit.
Crr (rolling resistance) is a massively underestimated lever. Good tires = instant gain.
Narrowing elbows and shrugging shoulders reduces frontal area. Free gain if done properly.
Yes, it's real: hair creates turbulence. Specialized study: ~40 sec over 40 km.
Calf guards smooth the lower leg surface and reduce drag. Measured gain in wind tunnel.
We'll prioritize gains based on what you can invest.
Course profile influences the gains hierarchy: on slow climbs, weight matters more than aerodynamics.
