Body Rocket AI-powered, real-time wind tunnel substitute available for pre-order

Alex Dowsett riding his TT bike fitted with the Body Rocket aero system.

Body Rocket, the world’s first ‘real-time’ aerodynamic direct drag force measurement system, has surpassed its goal on the funding platform Kickstarter. It reached the $28,500 target less than two days after the Brighton-based tech startup announced that pre-orders for Body Rocket were live.

Cycling Weekly first covered the system two years ago, when the initial wave of crowdfunding began. After further development, the system is now offered in a range of packages that start at £2,950. For an extra £2,000, you can receive personal training from Alex Dowsett and other ‘bonuses’ featured in the Dream Team bundle. Dowsett, arguably one of the finest TT riders of his generation, was an early investor in Body Rocket.
