Get aero.Go faster.Same watts. WattCut is an early-access aerodynamic simulation platform for road cyclists and triathletes.

How it works in 4 steps

  1. Create your personal digital body from only two pictures

    Front and side, without the bike. Your height sets the scale, the photos give us the shape.

  2. Photograph the positions you want to compare

    Two views of each position, on the complete bicycle. Two positions is the minimum — there is no upper limit.

  3. Add as many as you are curious about

    Every position you photograph is compared against every other one — not against a fixed baseline.

  4. We run the simulation and send you a report

    Your positions are ranked against each other, and the gaps between them are reported as drag and as watts at real riding speeds.

Enough to test a change and its variations.

  • Joining the beta list is free and takes an email address — no account, no password.
  • Registering now secures the early-bird price on both packs.
  • 2 wind-tunnel simulations cost €35 during the beta, instead of the intended €69.
  • 5 wind-tunnel simulations cost €80 during the beta, instead of the intended €159.
  • Prices are total prices in euro. No VAT is added (§ 19 UStG).
  • Simulations are computational — WattCut does not book physical wind-tunnel time.
  • During the beta, parts of an analysis may be completed manually.
  • A place on the list does not guarantee a beta invitation or an immediate analysis.
  • Nothing is charged when you join the list.
