“XLAB TORPEDOS CAN SAVE 10 MINUTES ON AN IRONMAN” Cervelo has done extensive wind tunnel testing and has proven that Tri-bikes are faster with a correctly placed water bottle between the aero bars like the TORPEDO system that XLAB introduced in 2009. Assuming a rider has a constant power output of 200 watts at 25 mph the TORPEDO aerobar hydration system will save 5.6 watts of power. This represents a 2.8% power saving. If the rider takes 6 hours to cover the 112 miles then they will save 10 minutes 5 seconds on the bike split. It is important to choose a system either with no straw, or a folding straw. It is also of benefit to buy a bottle that has been aerodynamically optimized at the back of the bottle like the new XLAB REFILLABLE 100 and 400 SYSTEMS. If a triathlete already has an XLAB TORPEDO MOUNT and an XLAB carbon cage then all they need to buy is the new XLAB REFILL KIT. Start now taking those time savings using one of the seven TORPEDO SYSTEMS!
