TotalSIM – Partners In Innovation with Artec Leo
Vorteq was created in allowing this technology to be access to a larger audience to those who take their cycling seriously. Vorteq is allowing the creation of a bespoke skinsuit that reduces drag of the cyclists as they aim for their fastest times. With 80% of the drag accounted by the rider and 20% by the bicycle – it is a clear area where cyclists can gain a big advantage with less drag.
Making the Ultrafast WX-R racing bike
With the reducing the drag on the bodysuits largely optimised, attention turned to the remaining 20% to make the fastest racing Bike.
This time the Artec Leo was purposed to 3D scan the bike under different loads to ensure the right balance of flex and rigidity when the cyclist was at fast acceleration and full cruising speeds.
Together with time honoured techniques of weight reductions and drag reductions – this bike is destined to be one to look out for in the coming Tokyo Olympics !
Catsby tunnel and future plans
Always staying ahead of the competition, plans are ahead for a purpose built wind tunnel and Innovation Centre at Catesby tunnel in 2021. Central Scanning look forward to supporting TotalSIM in their ambitious plans.
