Unleashing Speed: The Aero Calf Sleeves Revolution

The world of Triathlon is continuously evolving, with groundbreaking innovations shaping how athletes perform. In the spotlight of these advancements are the AERO Calf Sleeves and custom cockpits, which debuted at Challenge Roth. These innovations highlight the crucial role of aerodynamics in Triathlon and cycling performance.

Challenge Roth: A Showcase of Innovation

Challenge Roth, renowned as a triathlete’s dream race, served as the perfect platform to introduce the revolutionary Aero Calf Sleeves. Developed in collaboration with leading athletes like Daniela Ryf or Jan Van Berkel, these sleeves exemplify how cutting-edge technology can optimise performance.

The Science of Aero Calf Sleeves

One of the most exciting aspects of the Aero Calf Sleeves is their aerodynamic efficiency. Extensive wind tunnel testing and over 135 fabric iterations culminated in a design that minimizes drag while enhancing comfort. Unlike traditional compressive gear, these sleeves are engineered for optimal airflow dynamics, ensuring no compromise on comfort during intense races.

Custom Cockpits: Tailored for Triumph

Another game-changer in the world of triathlon is the rise of custom cockpits. At Challenge Roth, these bespoke solutions highlighted their potential to transform an athlete’s ride. Daniela Ryf and Marlen Reusser’s performances underscored the significant advantages of a custom cockpit tailored to individual ergonomic and aerodynamic needs.

Why Custom Cockpits Matter

Aerodynamics: By fine-tuning the athlete’s position, custom cockpits reduce drag and save precious watts.

Ergonomics: Tailored designs enhance comfort, allowing athletes to maintain peak performance for longer durations.

Performance Gains: Collaboration with elite athletes has demonstrated that even small equipment tweaks can lead to substantial gains in time trials and races.

Collaboration: The Key to Innovation

The journey to create these performance-enhancing products involved extensive collaboration. Athletes like Daniela Ryf provided valuable feedback, helping to refine the designs. This teamwork underscores how combining scientific expertise with athlete insights leads to superior outcomes.

Swiss Side: Making High-Performance Gear Accessible

Leading the charge in this wave of innovation is Swiss Side, a brand dedicated to expanding the availability of custom solutions. Their mission is clear: make high-performance technology accessible to all athletes, not just professionals. From AERO Calf Sleeves to the soon available custom cockpits, Swiss Side is setting new standards in cycling technology.
