AiRO: The World’s Most Advanced Digital Wind Tunnel
Optimize your speed with AI-powered aerodynamics. Bring the power of a professional wind tunnel to your device, faster and more affordably than ever before.
About AiRO
The Science of Speed, Reimagined. AiRO represents a quantum leap in cycling aerodynamics, moving beyond the high costs and physical limitations of traditional wind tunnels. Founded by industry pioneers from Specialized Bicycles and McLaren F1, our mission is to make elite-level speed accessible to every rider.
By combining cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence with high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we create a "Digital Aero Twin" of your unique body position. This allows you to simulate thousands of data points on 192-core supercomputers, uncovering watt-saving optimizations in minutes rather than days. Whether you are an Olympic hopeful or a dedicated enthusiast, AiRO helps you find your fastest self through data, not guesswork.

Benefits
-
Digital Aero Twin: Create a personalized 3D human model (Aero Twin) from just a photo and a few measurements.
-
Simulated Speed (26 Watts): On average, an aero bike fit saves 26 watts—more power than most riders gain in an entire training season.
-
Cloud-Powered Simulations: Runs academia-grade CFD simulations (Open Foam RANS) on 192-core supercomputers.
-
Interactive Exploration: Test different rider positions and helmet choices and get results in under 7 minutes.
-
Validated Accuracy: Wind tunnel validated and based on peer-reviewed academic literature for results as accurate as a physical tunnel.
How it works
-
We Build Your Twin: Upload height, weight, and a photo to create your 3D Digital Aero Twin in 3 minutes.
-
Recreate Position: Use sliders to match your current real-life bike position.
-
Simulate Airflow: Spin up cloud-based supercomputers to run the aerodynamic simulation.
-
Repeat & Compare: Iterate through different postures or gear choices to find the lowest drag.
-
Set the Final Position: Lock in your fastest position using AiRO's measurement overlays.
