Oh boy!!! Well, I can't say that I disagree with their physics and wind claims and velocities. But, without a doubt these things are highly against the rules as they are an added fairing piece.

No doubt, I'm sure someone will try to run these at a race at some point.

Team Zoot-Texas, and Pickle Juice

ugly

and the name .... it just screams 'derp'
Aerodefender Aero Fenders

derp

God damn, that's fugly!

Put those on the Andean.

Coast down tests? These guys can't afford, or know anyone with, a powermeter?

BTW, if you're going to make it a "fender", then why leave off the parts that actually make it effective as a fender??

i would also like to draw attention to the aero turtle shell. that is what I'm looking at, right?

Yes because turtles are the fastest land animal

There are no rules when chasing Strava KOMs!

I think that's his lunch.

But they were identical riders on identical bikes with the exception of the fenders. And the exception that the riders were not identical. And except their bikes or their wheels were not identical. And except for their clothing. And except for not keeping their head position constant with that gopro sticking up in the wind...as seen by the video changing views from up the road to looking down at his aerobars.

Cannot wait to put these on my fat tire.

Looks like that is the OGIO Mach 3 Motorcycle backpack (with No Drag Technology)

I somehow missed it because i was fixated with the abomination "aero fenders" on the bike (at least the back one *might* help with the skunk tail)

I do the same thing as them, just slower

True. They are most likely a big aero improvement. But until they are built into the bike frame somehow, they are illegal.

That should be fun in a crosswind.

Lionel could have hid his camelback in there. Lionel could have been Leonardo

10/10 would not ride!

why? why has Dan never invested in a "Like Button" ?

LMAO

Or, perhaps they have aero tested them and the results weren't exactly what they were looking for...I'm just sayin'. These are a cleaner design than their first iteration that's for sure. In general, I find increasing frontal area, no matter the shape, is unlikely to produce good results, but you never know.

Their target market is not the few that know better....

"To test out (and prove) their system, Null Winds paired two identical aero tri bikes in a roll down test into a moderate headwind, then repeated it switching riders. The result was that the Aerodefender-equipped bike was always faster, on average 7 seconds faster per kilometer!"

The wheels also have some sort of "spokey dokey" thing going on. Is that another aero drag reducer, or just for style?... ;)

I'm just impressed they were able to keep the headwind so consistent.

Are classical fenders generally against the rules?

I'm kind of surprised that Camelbak hasn't tried to market an aero version of their backpack. I've seriously thought about wearing one in a long race.

The old Racebak isn't a terrible option for that. Better is probably doing like the Pro cyclists were doing and wearing it on the front (before they banned that) but of course you have to take it off somehow.
