Why is TrackIQ faster?
The algorithm increases power on climbs (where you lose the most time) and saves energy on fast descents (where aerodynamics dominate).

Cycling Performance Optimization: Find Your Ideal Race Strategy

Four building blocks for your road cycling and triathlon training. Start with your route or GPX ride data and optimize pacing, aerodynamics, and performance — for maximum speed and the perfect race.

Race split simulation
Challenge: You don’t know the course — target time and pacing are pure guesswork.
Fix: Simulation builds a realistic speed profile. With GPX/TCX + power data, you can see exactly where time was lost — and why, section by section.
Output: Target time, speed profile, key sections — including a comparison to your actual ride when speed data is available.
TrackIQ pacing
Challenge: Same watts everywhere = wasted watts. You go too hard where it barely pays off.
Fix: TrackIQ distributes power based on the course profile and speed logic: invest where seconds are cheap — cap it where they’re expensive.
Output: A segment-based pacing plan with an invest/save strategy and clear watt targets throughout the course.
Aerodynamics (CdA from ride data)
Challenge: You don’t know whether your position/setup is actually faster — or just “feels fast”.
Fix:We estimate your aero (CdA) from real ride data (speed, power, conditions) and make setup comparisons measurable.
Output: CwA-Schätzung + Vergleich zwischen Runs/Setups – damit du siehst, ob Position/Material wirklich schneller ist.
Performance analysis (GPXPower)
Challenge: You want to get faster — but you don’t know whether aero, tires, weight, or watts actually make the difference on YOUR course.
Fix: You adjust the four levers (cᵣ, c_wA, weight, power) and see live how many seconds your target time shifts — no guesswork.
Output: Direct time impact per parameter: “If I change c_wA by X → I save Y seconds.” Ideal for comparing setup ideas (tires/position) before you invest money or training time.
Race-ready, if you want.
Base makes your plan race-ready: export as FIT (Garmin/Wahoo) or a Zwift workout.
IRONMAN® routes available instantly
Pick your event from our route database (e.g., IRONMAN). No GPX hunting — start right away with simulation and a pacing plan.
Why it belongs together

You can save simulations, combine variants, and compare results. That’s how you build your best strategy — transparent and data-driven instead of based on feel.

Bike Calculator: a quick start that carries your values into the simulation

You convert watts ↔ speed and see the impact of CdA, Crr, weight, and gradient. You can save these values — after registration they’re applied directly to your simulation.

Recommended if you’re new: set solid baseline values first, then run a simulation.

You don’t just see your target time — you also see where you’re losing time, where watts actually matter, and how to distribute your power along the course.
