Tyre width is an important topic for grip, rolling resistance and comfort. But what is the effect on aerodynamic drag? The results from our wind tunnel test show that increasing...
The amount of knobs and tread on gravel tyres can be very important for grip off-road, although it is also a big penalty for rolling resistance on-road. So any way you look...
With the addition of the new GRAVON 420 and 250 gravel wheel models to the SWISS SIDE line-up, we wanted to show why aerodynamics in gravel riding is also important....
Some of our athletes are currently in St. George (USA), to compete in the IRONMAN World Championships this weekend. This time, they are not the only members of the...
So can you be quick and dirty? This is the question we wanted to answer. Jean-Paul (Swiss Side CEO) broke the golden rule of not cleaning his bike before bringing it to...
How much potential is there in the aerodynamic drag performance of different gravel wheels? The numbers from the wind tunnel test show, that the GRAVON 420 aero carbon wheel brings...
TRUE OR FALSE: Riding one frame size smaller with more spacers/longer stem is faster than riding the ideal frame size This is generally TRUE. Smaller frames typically have less drag (this...
TRUE OR FALSE: Aero helmets are faster than classic road helmets No surprise Sherlock, this one is TRUE. And there are watts to be gained whether you are in a...
TRUE OR FALSE: The praying mantis position is the fastest time trial position FALSE. Every athlete is individual. Flexibility and the shape a person’s body folds into when they are in...
