Masterclass: From Athlete to Wind Tunnel Testing
Hands-on workshop on aerodynamic testing with cyclist mannequins
Aerodynamics is everything in modern cycling: it’s the invisible force that riders fight every second on the road. In the pursuit of marginal gains, wind tunnel testing has become essential — and to make those tests repeatable and reliable, cyclist mannequins now play a key role.
But creating a realistic mannequin isn’t as easy as it sounds. How do you turn a real athlete into a testable replica? How do you scan a body in a position that actually reflects real-world cycling? And once you’ve got the mannequin, how do you use it effectively in a wind tunnel?
This guided, hands-on workshop takes you through the full process — from scanning to testing — to help you get the most out of your own aerodynamic research.
