   A 10cm increase (or error) in elevation over a 1 second period equates to a slope of 0.8%, is 78 Joules of potential energy (80*9.81*0.1) and is therefore 78 Watts that gets injected into the power balance equation. This results in a 31% reduction in the real time CdA ((252-78)/252) if speed remains fixed.

   Feb 11, 2020 · By comparison, CdA at 20km/h can measure 0.22; at 70km/h it can decease but just slightly. Its constancy is why it is a crucial. When validated with personal aero meters, lowering your CdA can uncover speed you never knew you had with the same watts.

   What happens if the Watts/CDA equation gets worse?

   • In this (extreme) scenario, hip angle is reduced, knee angle is reduced, shoulders are stretched out, and breathing possibly restricted. All of this is likely to impact power output severely, so the overall Watts/CdA equation doesn’t get better.

   How many Watts Does a 50kph CDA reduce?

   • With a CdA of 0.22, you will need ~220 watts. However, increasing that to 50kph and 0.25 will require more like ~400 watts and 0.22 around ~350 watts. We can see here that the reduction in CdA saves more watts at a higher speed but, at lower speeds, the CdA reduction results in a greater speed increase for the same power.

   What is CDA & Watts?

   • Cd = The coefficient of drag (wind). A = How much frontal area a rider projects. Watts/CdA = Power being produced by a rider divided by the coefficient of drag multiplied by the frontal area of said rider. In essence, how good you are at turning your hard work into forward speed! The lower the CdA the better.

   Does reducing CDA increase speed?

   • We can see here that the reduction in CdA saves more watts at a higher speed but, at lower speeds, the CdA reduction results in a greater speed increase for the same power. So, although you save more watts at higher speeds, those of us riding at 30kph can also increase their speed more with the same reductions in CdA.

   How is CDA determined?

   • CdA is determined by the size, shape and surface texture of the moving object. Examining Ganna, we see that his bike had narrow tubing, extending backwards to create a more aerodynamic shape. We can also see, under his skinsuit, a base layer designed to affect the texture of his shape.

   Feb 11, 2024 · This calculator allows you to determine an output variable between Power, CdA and constant Velocity based on inputting two inputs. For example, you can determine your CdA based on power and speed, then use this CdA to determine how much power is required to ride at a certain speed etc.
