Problem
Cyclists often lack real-time, actionable data on their body position and aerodynamic performance, hindering their ability to optimize efficiency and reduce drag. Traditional methods of assessing aerodynamics, such as wind tunnel testing, are expensive and impractical for continuous use during training. This makes it difficult for cyclists to identify and maintain the most aerodynamic posture for varying conditions.
Solution
Darefore provides a real-time position sensor and analytics platform that enables cyclists to track and analyze their body position, estimate drag (CdA), and optimize aerodynamic performance. The system consists of a wearable sensor, a mobile app for live feedback, and the Darefore Hub, a web platform providing in-depth analysis and long-term performance tracking. By providing continuous insights into a cyclist's posture and its impact on aerodynamics, Darefore helps riders fine-tune their form, reduce drag, and improve overall efficiency, both indoors and outdoors. The platform also supports personalized, position-based training plans and facilitates data sharing with coaches.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cyclists and triathletes of all levels seeking to optimize their aerodynamic performance, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive edge through data-driven insights.
