Are you ready for the Aerobar Edge Computerized Training and Racing Device?
There is plenty of disagreement throughout the triathlon and time trialing world about the best products, fueling strategies, cadence, form and just about every other aspect of our sports. However, there is one thing that we ALL agree upon when it comes to speed and performance outcomes: AERO MATTERS. The more, the better (obviously in context of safety and health). Wheels, helmets, bike frames, jerseys, water bottles, weight and even shaved legs can all have a positive impact on becoming more aero. However, before trying to become more aero, STEP ONE is to increase our time in the aero position. The AEROBAR EDGE helps you do exactly that.
As triathletes, we know how important the aero position is to our outcomes. However, the reality is that outside of the top pros and world class age-groupers, we do not consistently sustain an aero position! Now, for the first time, the AEROBAR EDGE computerized training and racing device allows you to accurately track the amount of time TRULY spent in the aero position and then cross reference that data to a number of valuable points of reference from your GPS and other devices such as:
Total TimeDo you have a favorite course? Would you like to analyze how much time you actually spend in aero (vs. what you think you do) on that ride and compare results early in the season to your pre-race build-up? Or maybe you’re new to aerobars or are returning to the sport after some time off and want to gradually and objectively integrate the new positioning into your training? AEROBAR EDGE computerized training and racing device provides you with everything you need to do it right. |
|
% of RideSimilar to total time components noted above, the AEROBAR EDGE gives you the tools you need to analyze progress, set a course of action, and challenge yourself to enhance performance. |
|
Heart RateWhat happens to your heart rate when you’re in the aero position? Yes – the AEROBAR EDGE can help you analyze that as well. |
|
InclineWhat is your “incline aero” pattern? Do you sit up as soon as you hit a 1% incline? 2%? Can you prove to your coach or friends that you really did ride those uphill intervals in aero? Now you can! |
|
Return from InjuryAdapting the body to the aero position takes time. Whether you’re new to the sport or returning after an injury, gradual integration is critical. Now you and your coach or medical provider can develop a step-by-step plan specific to your situation to ease back into the position and objectively measure the outcomes. For example, if you have a history of back or neck pain and your provider believes aero is safe over time, the AEROBAR EDGE computerized training and racing device allows you to objectively monitor total time in aero before pain returns. This can make an excellent reference point for review during your return to action. |
|
Race ReviewThe AEROBAR EDGE isn’t just a training tool! When utilized in a race, you and your coach can look in detail at all the various combinations noted above – and more! (such as total time in aero vs. run time on a course you’ve done previously). |
PowerPower levels are almost always lower in aero than in sitting, right? Well – that depends on your training strategies. The AEROBAR EDGE provides you with the tools to analyze power both in and out of the aero position, and then watch those levels change over time as consistency and training develop. You’ll be able to identify your gaps – and then develop a training plan to correct them. |
|
SpeedHow does your speed correlate to your positioning? The AEROBAR EDGE will allow you to view how your speed changes in aero. |
|
CadenceDoes your cadence change when you’re in the aero position as compared to when you’re sitting up? Of course! And now you’ll know exactly what happens and how it varies over time. |
|
Bike FittingDid you recently invest in a specialized bike fitting to improve your comfort and position? The AEROBAR EDGE can demonstrate clearly the benefits received by tracking pre/post time or % of ride in aero, speed, power, HR and more. |
|
Cross-reference multiple pointsThe AEROBAR EDGE allows you to combine any/all of the above by cross-referencing with other common monitoring devices. For example, if you’re curious seeing the combination of HR/Power/Speed over a specific course in aero vs. non-aero, that (along with just about any other combination) is now available. |
|
Examine power in aero vs sitting up over timeMost triathletes demonstrate lower power levels in aero early in the season. AEROBAR EDGE allows you to record initial levels and then see those levels improve over time - while building your aero compatability levels. |
|
CoachingThe AEROBAR EDGE is likely to become the most valuable coaching tool since the power meter! It allows you to safely integrate a gradual but specific plan for aero positioning over time and then review a variety of data points with your athlete based on this positioning. |
