How SpeedGeens works

1. Design of experiments (DoE)

You tell us which variables you want to test—examples:

  • Airspeed

  • Wheel type

  • Tyre model

  • Position options

  • Equipment choices

SpeedGeens then creates an optimal experimental setup:

  • Defines variables and levels

  • Builds a Design Page with a statistically efficient test matrix

  • Minimizes the number of runs while maximizing information

2. You perform the tests

You (or your testing partner) perform the aerodynamic tests:

  • Wind tunnel

  • Velodrome

  • Field testing with commercially available sensors

You measure CdA, Power or any other response for each run and feed the data back to SpeedGeens.

3. Statistical modeling

SpeedGeens uses multiple linear regression to build a statistical model of your responses:

  • CdA as a function of all variables

  • Power as a function of all variables

This model:

  • Captures main effects and interactions

  • Allows prediction for every combination of the tested variables

  • Integrates yaw‑angle weighting to reflect realistic wind distributions

4. Explore and understand your aero landscape

With the model built, you can explore your data in depth:

  • Plot CdA vs any variable

  • Plot Power vs any variable

  • Compare all variables (wheels, tyres, helmets,..) at fixed airspeed

  • See how changes in one variable depend on another

5. Find the optimal setup

Finally, SpeedGeens includes an optimization module that:

  • Searches the entire model

  • Finds the combination that minimizes CdA or Power

  • Returns the exact wheel, tyre, and conditions for the fastest setup

  • Lets you show the optimum on the model graphs
