Aerodynamic Clothing And Accessory For Bicycle Rider

AERO – SPEED SHIRT Patent No. US-12171284 pertains to an aerodynamic shirt for cycling. More specifically, it's an Aerodynamic shirt ("SPEED SHIRT") with an elongated tail that is used in the "Time Trial" riding position to increase speed by reducing aerodynamic drag. /// When road-cycling with a regular cycling shirt at 20 MPH (32 KPH) or above, the body of the rider generally creates 80% of the aerodynamic drag which greatly diminishes the speed. However, with the SPEED SHIRT, the same rider on the same bicycle with the same energy output would achieve a speed approximately 27 MPH. That's a huge difference. /// In an era where cyclists pay a premium for aero bikes with exotic materials just for speed, the actual resulting increase in speed is negligible if any at all. There is only so much that speed improvement can be increased if the focus is ONLY on the bicycle which is only 20% of the aerodynamic drag. /// Why not improve the rider's aerodynamic shape which is 80% of the aero drag? That's What the SPEED SHIRT is designed to do. It significantly improves the rider's speed at any given output compared to any other clothing OR accessory. In fact, it's the single most valuable improvement any road rider can do to improve speed and efficiency. Imagine taking the shape of the rider and converting it into the most aerodynamic teardrop shape. That's what the SPEED SHIRT does. /// The Aero-Subframe System: The New Shape of Speed / In the world of competitive cycling, aerodynamic drag is the enemy. While carbon frames have become razor-thin and jerseys have become "second skins," a critical aerodynamic gap has remained: the turbulent wake created where the rider’s back meets the bicycle. // Standard jerseys are limited by the human anatomy. The SPEED SHIRT breaks those limits. By transforming the rider’s body into the most aerodynamic teardrop shape. / We’ve extended the rider’s profile to smooth airflow and drastically reduce drag. This isn't just a shirt; it makes you a streamlined component of your bike’s aerodynamic profile.
