A performance centre for cyclists at 15 Hanlin Road in Cambridge, Waikato, that brings bike fitting, aero testing, lactate testing, sports massage, workshop support and cycling retail under one roof. Its bike fitting uses current technology to address imbalances and fine-tune the set-up for comfort and performance. Aero testing estimates a rider's aerodynamic efficiency, and lactate testing measures how blood lactate changes with intensity, so training zones and heart rate, power and race pace targets can be set. Sports massage is offered for recovery and to reduce fatigue.
The business says it wants to pair products with honest, evidence-based advice, so that equipment and services are only recommended when they will help. A rider who came in after a year of not feeling right on their bike said the fit showed their body position was crooked and unbalanced, and that correcting it made a clear difference. Another rider who had ridden a time-trial bike for up to three hours said they felt much more comfortable afterwards. One customer credited the coaching with helping them race well at a masters event.
