Our Facilities

	Sports Performance Wind Tunnel The Sports Performance Wind Tunnel is equipped with a bespoke data acquisition system and user interface. In addition to capturing drag data, the system also gathers sport-specific measurements (like cadence in cycling) and athlete position imaging.

	Pedalling Efficiency Rig The Pedalling Efficiency Rig (PER) acts as a bicycle dynamometer to measure rider input power and compares this with output power at the roller surface in a controlled environment, to determine the mechanical losses of a bicycle and its efficiency, more accurately than other methods currently in use.

	Fabric Wind Tunnel Our Fabric Wind Tunnel was designed from the ground up to create exceptionally repeatable results in a purpose built controlled environment. It is the work horse of performance sport clothing, helping select fabrics based upon aerodynamic performance.

	Cycling Test Lab At SSEH we are developing three new mechanical test rigs in the form of a rolling resistance rig, stiffness rig and a chain efficiency rig; to create a ‘Cycling Test Lab’.

	Equipment Room The Equipment Room was designed to enhance the customer’s experience of the Sports Performance Wind Tunnel by providing the resources required to carry out thorough and precise aerodynamic testing of products from the cycling performance market.

	Performance Lab The Performance Lab has been designed to provide customers with market leading bike fit technology and equipment, ensuring they have all the resources required to enhance their client’s experience.
