FORMA Body Position Sensor

No More Guesswork

Finding and maintaining the right body position has become the holy grail of triathlon, time trial, and track cycling. How can you take your cycling performance to the next level, without investing huge amounts of time, effort and money?

Meet the FORMA

The revolutionary new precision body position sensor, meticulously designed and tested to give riders
previously unattainable knowledge to help them take their performance to the next level.

The FORMA helps cyclists train and race in the ideal aero position, increasing their speed and optimising performance, while maintaining a competitive edge.

The FORMA sensor can give individuals and cycling teams instant, real-world body position adjustments in real-time, surfacing the small margins that can make the winning difference.

FORMA Benefits

Fast to fit - The sensor can be quickly installed onto most bikes.
Simple to use - Set your position and get out on the road.
Reach your peak performance - Stay in your ideal aero position and leverage the advantage of the most sensitive aerodynamic component, your body.
Definite data, instantly - Access immediate feedback, while saving data for later analysis and optimising future performance.

FORMA Features

Used by and developed with professional cyclists
Alignment laser for easy set-up
Precise head, chest, and waist position measurement
Real-time display on Garmin bike computers
Post-ride data accessible via FIT file
Weight: 40g
Dimensions: 46.5 x 69 x 29 mm
Battery life: rechargeable Li-Ion battery, 6 hours uninterrupted
Light, robust, and weatherproof
Quarter-turn mount included or specialist mounts available for purchase separately

Pro Team Performance At Your Fingertips

Even the top elite riders struggle to maintain the optimum body position, especially when fatigue sets in. Deviating by even a couple of centimetres can degrade a rider’s
performance by over 5%, equivalent to one minute sacrificed per hour. This is where the FORMA comes in…

How the FORMA Works

The FORMA sensor is designed to be mounted near the bike stem, or in a TT position between the rider's elbows.

On the first calibration ride, riders use the alignment laser and angle adjustment dial to precisely set-up the sensor on the bike.

Using three infra-red lasers, FORMA captures waist, chest and head measurements with a +/- 2 mm
accuracy, accessible in real-time via a Garmin bike computer.

Real-time feedback is displayed to the rider, informing them if they are too high, too low, or in the target position.

The target position is set by the rider, fitter or a coach before the ride and stored in the FORMA’s internal memory.

FORMA can be used both on a standalone app or as a data field on other compatible device screens.

FAQ

Why would I want a body position sensor?

+

Since over 75% of a rider's drag comes from the position of their body, changing one's body position is the largest and most inexpensive performance increase a cyclist can make. For competitive triathletes, a difference of 1 cm will cost about 30 seconds over a 1-hour bike course. A difference of 4 cm will cost 40 watts and 2 minutes in time over the same 1-hour course. Maintaining a steady position while cycling is difficult. The position can drift due to fatigue over the course of a ride. It can also drift over a period of weeks and months if it is not being periodically checked. We have worked with world champions and grand tour winners, everyone drifts with fatigue, what can be reduced is how much.

I don't have an access to a wind tunnel, how can I know what position to be in?

+

For simplicity, we will divide aerodynamic cycling positions into two divisions: Moderate – Rider’s upper back is higher than their mid-back. Maximises speed and endurance. Maximal – Rider’s mid back is the highest point, upper back is lower. Maximises speed. Every cyclist intuitively knows that lowering their chest and head improves their aerodynamics. What is happening is that the cyclist is both making themselves smaller (less area when viewed from the front) and improving their shape. Once a cyclist has moved from the moderate to the maximal position, they are no longer decreasing their frontal area by going lower. Their drag may decrease further through improving their shape, but these improvements will be much smaller. Every cyclist will also intuitively know that going lower starts reducing power and increasing fatigue, so there are some large drawbacks to going lower. Most riders who maintain a low position in races, train extensively in that position to be able to maintain it in a race, especially while fatigued. The FORMA can accelerate this training process by providing precise feedback and records, so a rider can position themselves precisely in training and racing. Moderate Position For any cyclist whose position lies in the moderate division, a lower position will almost always reduce drag. A crude but useful rule of thumb is 0.01 CdA for every 2cm, for a cyclist travelling at 40 km/h, this will be the equivalent of about 10 watts of power. As a rider’s position lowers, the power in their legs will also decrease. A rider will need to experiment with going lower to see at what position their power drops or they become uncomfortable. A FORMA allows a rider to experiment with positions while stationary or on a turbo trainer, and then confidently maintain that position over time while training and racing. Maximal Position A cyclist in the Maximal division will not benefit much from going lower, however their aerodynamic performance will decrease as they raise their position. Riders using such a position have usually been aero-optimised by a fitter, aero test, or by experimentation. It is not worth lowering a rider, closing their hip angle and decreasing power, if the lower position does not lower drag. Here the role of the FORMA is important in ensuring that when the rider trains or races they keep the same chest and head position as their optimum, not lower, and not higher.

Will the FORMA fit on my bike?

+

Yes, the FORMA can be easily mounted on most bicycles. Please visit our shop page as we have a variety of mounting solutions available. If you still have questions please email us at sales@streamlines.aero and we will be happy to help you.

How long does it take to set it up before it can be used?

+

With a guide laser and screw adjust, aligning the FORMA to the rider is easy. The adjustment screw mechanism is spring-loaded to ensure it always returns to its aligned position should it be bumped or nudged during use. Once aligned, the rider then holds their ideal position for several seconds as the FORMA software records the rider's reference position. From opening the box, to riding with visual feedback, the setup can all happen in less than five minutes.

How accurate is the FORMA?

+

The FORMA reliably measures head and chest position within +/- 2mm. In addition, the waist range sensor can detect whether a rider is sitting in the saddle or standing upright.

How do I view my data?

+

While riding, the rider position can be viewed through a Garmin Data Field or the FORMA CIQ app. After the ride, the rider position can be viewed in Garmin connect, or in the Cirrus portal.
