In today’s fiercely competitive mountain biking scene, mastering every detail of performance is essential. Braking efficiency, often overlooked, can be a major differentiator. The challenge was to help riders uncover hidden opportunities for progression by providing actionable insights through advanced technology and expert analysis.
At the Luiseno Bike Park, Southern California’s premier mountain biking venue, Victorise and Brake Ace partnered with a diverse group of elite riders, including some of the fastest names in the U.S. Together, we worked to:
1. Capture Precision Data Using the Brake Ace wireless sensors, riders logged detailed metrics, including braking force, deceleration, GPS positioning, and brake temperatures.
2. Guide Setup and Usage We ensured all riders, whether seasoned pros or first-time users, had the tools and knowledge to fully leverage Brake Ace technology.
3. Analyze and Interpret Insights Through on-site coaching and Brake Ace’s intuitive software, we helped racers uncover inefficiencies in their braking and identify opportunities for faster, smoother runs.
4. Integrate Victorise Technology To enhance insights, we developed custom software that overlays telemetry data—including Brake Ace metrics—onto GoPro footage, enabling riders to dissect and strategize their performance down to the millisecond.
The Brake Ace Test Camp delivered transformative results:
• Racers identified new braking opportunities to refine their lines and strategies.
• Pro athletes streamlined their workflows, saving valuable time during race preparation.
• The integration of Victorise’s GoPro overlay tool allowed riders to visualize and dissect their performance like never before.
The camp highlighted the power of technology to inspire progression and foster a collaborative spirit among athletes.
• Technology in Action: Brake Ace sensors provided invaluable data that transformed how riders approached braking.
• Collaboration Drives Progress: The camp fostered a team environment where athletes shared insights and supported each other’s growth.
• Future Potential: With tools like Brake Ace and Victorise’s custom software, the possibilities for refining performance are limitless.
Conclusion:
The Brake Ace Test Camp proved that embracing technology is essential for staying competitive in mountain biking. Through innovative tools and expert collaboration, Victorise and Brake Ace equipped riders with the knowledge and confidence to push their limits and elevate their performance.
This is just the beginning—our mission is to bring these technologies to more riders and companies, helping them unlock their full potential on the trail.
