Four projects. One measurement method.
The PZTri national team, speed skating before Cortina, our own rig in the Krakow University of Technology tunnel, and the SaBRe programme. Four different disciplines and products, one way of measuring CdA.

2024–2025
The full measurement protocol on the Arena Pruszków track, for the national triathlon team.
What we did
We ran the protocol on the Arena Pruszków track: real-time CdA for every position and equipment change.
The rider took every change on their own bike and in their own suit, with CdA read live after every run. A position the rider cannot hold for a whole race does not enter the report, even when it is the fastest on a single run.
What came out of it
Maciej Bruzdziak: 411 W on the Bahrain time trial and a DNF, then 405 W in Korea and 3rd at the World Cup. Less power, better result.
Paulina Klimas, the day before the Polish Championships: handlebar 8 cm higher on a positive-angle stem. Faster and more comfortable at once, which is rare.
Speed skating before Cortina: three months from zero
2025–2026
The federation asked whether anything could even be measured. We answered with 3D mannequins and the tunnel.
What we did
We started from zero, without a single speed-skating data point on file. In Tomaszów Mazowiecki, on Poland's only indoor oval, we measured the kinematics of two skaters.
A full-body 3D scan, then modelling the race position and printing mannequins in three settings, from upright to maximally aero. The mannequins went to the tunnel for skinsuit tests.
What came out of it
The differences between skinsuits turned out to be measurable and repeatable, not cosmetic. Aero helmets are still a cultural question in this sport, not a technical one.
The federation got its first hard numbers for skinsuits instead of opinions. Next steps are planned: cap material, glasses, blade design.
AiD Aero Lab: from measurements to rider decisions
2025–2026
Our own algorithms, setup comparisons and tests of bicycle stability in crosswinds. AiD Aero Lab brings them together to help you choose your position and equipment.
What we did
In the Kraków University of Technology wind tunnel, we develop our own rig and algorithms that turn measurement data into useful comparisons of positions and equipment. The specially designed rig lets us study how crosswinds affect bicycle stability, not just aerodynamic drag.
We test every change of position, helmet, wheels and equipment details on the rider and their own bike, head-on and in crosswinds, so the result translates into a clear race-day decision.
What came out of it
The rig is running and rider sessions are under way. You can compare setups on your own bike and consider both drag and how the bicycle behaves in crosswinds when choosing your position and equipment. In a 2 h session we typically test 12–15 position and equipment changes; in 3 h: 15–18.
For us, innovation means combining wind-tunnel measurements and our own algorithms into analysis that is useful to the rider. In parallel, we are developing airflow simulations (CFD) from 3D rider scans.
SaBRe wheels: a year of testing before the first sale
2024–2025
About 70 rims gathered from the market, the most promising rims measured in the Silverstone tunnel, and a result nobody expected.
What we did
For over a year we tested rims from different factories: profiles, widths, carbon manufacturers, rim profile geometries. We took the most promising rims to the Silverstone wind tunnel for three days of measurement, at the yaw angles riders actually race at.
Wheels tested on Continental GP5000 25 mm tyres, chosen for their combination of aerodynamic performance, grip and puncture resistance.
What came out of it
The result surprised even us: 60/50 mm outperformed deeper profiles at yaw angles typical of a mass-start road race. That is where SaBRe VI.V came from.
SaBRe raced at the World Championship final in Wollongong and at World Cup events in Korea and Mexico.

We start the same way we started with the PZTri team and with speed skating: a conversation about what you want measured. Use the form to ask about a single-session date; we scope projects over email.
