Drafting Performance; actual data
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:56 am
One of the urban legends about the iBike is that it can't work well in the draft.
While the iBike has always been better than the doom-and-gloom of the myth, in firmware 308 we did some fine-tuning of the Gen III drafting performance.
Attached is a ride file from Boyd in a crit he did on March 22. No matter where you look in this ride file you'll see virtually indistinguishable results compared to his DFPM, and there is a TON of drafting going on in this race!
Check out too the sprint at the end; there is no difference between PMs there, either.
Boyd took second in this race; a great result!
