	Performance cyclists and triathletes are obsessed with aerodynamics and always want to be faster.

	The quest for marginal gains has created a booming market for aero products: wheels, helmets - even water bottles and socks.

	Until now, the only way to accurately measure your aero drag has been to pay for an expensive wind tunnel or velodrome test.

	Body Rocket is the world's first commercial on-bike device capable of offering precise drag measurement directly integrated into your bike, allowing aero to move out of the wind tunnel and onto the road, where cyclists actually ride.

	In a global bike market expected to reach $147bn by 2027, Body Rocket aims to make aero accessible to millions of cyclists by bringing new tools and insights not possible before.

	Body Rocket has an MVP. The company recently announced that it will be providing aero services to world champion triathletes Kristian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden, in preparation for their world title defences this fall. With the support of a fundraise, the company plans to progress to manufacturing, and the launch of the brand and pre-sales campaign following this year’s Kona Ironman World Champs.
