The power you produce each instant of your cycling is the RESULT of the changing ride conditions on the road: hills, wind, acceleration, road roughness, and more. Velocomp Aero software analyzes, second by second, AeroPod/PowerPod’s incredibly accurate wind, slope, and elevation information, for each of your rides.
NEW FOR 2025: VELOCOMP AERO SOFTWARE FOR MAC/PC
AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton are the only meters that record internally, second by second, raw sensor data from which power is calculated. New for 2025 is Velocomp Aero software for Mac/PC, a complete rewrite and modernization of our ground-breaking Isaac software. Velocomp Aero (VA) lets you see your ride performance in a completely new way.
Every cyclist knows intuitively that wind, hills, rolling resistance and bike accelerations affect power while on a bike. But the real question is how do these factors interact to affect your cycling performance? How can you ride smarter and train harder against these natural forces? To answer questions like these, Velocomp Aero has been designed to take full advantage of all the data provided by AeroPod/PowerPod/Newton sensors. Using VA you can review your cycling ride data, including power, speed, environmental information such as elevation, wind speed, and hill slope.
What this means for a rider:
Group Ride
When you ride in a group, VA shows when you were drafting (wind speed is less than bike speed) and when you were pulling (wind speed comparable to bike speed). It shows you how many extra watts it takes when you ride at the front of the pack, and how long your pulls are.
1. This racer led and was out in front pushing the pace. Look at the “Flames” (wind speed, blue).
2. In the highlighted section, bike speed (white) is the same as wind speed (blue). This racer did a lot of work.
3. While this racer is a strong rider, they spent their energy at the front and in the finale. The racer didn’t have enough gas left in the tank, therefore was passed.
When you’re climbing, just how steep is the toughest part of your climb, and where is it?
Isaac shows you with precision accuracy, graphically and numerically in its main window and, if you like, on Google Earth.
When you do high intensity power training, Isaac shows you where you did your intervals, for how long, and under what wind and slope conditions.
Training Stress Score (TSS), Intensity Factor (IF), and Normalized Power (NP) metrics are computed for each of your rides.
The best cyclists do more than just produce lots of watts; they also ride smarter.
Measures the economy and efficiency of your pedaling stroke. VA translates your pedal stroke data into wasted watts, wasted energy, wasted motion, and wasted time.
The "Analyze CdA" feature shows your aerodynamic drag at each point of your ride. How much more aero are you when you ride in a time trial position? VA quantifies the improvement.
