    „What I love about what we do at Swiss Side: If it doesn't bring performance, if it's not relevant technology, it doesn't get to market. And the whole team stands behind that approach. And again, I keep saying it, that's our promise to our customers, because our customers are spending a lot of their hard-earned money on their passion on these products, and they don't want to be cheated. And I don't want to be cheated as a consumer.“ Jean-Paul Ballard, CEO of Swiss Side

  • #4 Aero vs. Weight

    #4 Aero vs. Weight
    Apr 27 2023
    The Swiss Side engineering team did an extensive study for Global Cycling Network on the effects of aero vs weight, also considering rotating weight. The detailed analysis was done on three types of courses: 1. Steep climb; 2. Time trial; 3. Criterium, with a light weight wheel setup and a heaver (+450g) aero wheel setup. Learn which was faster on each of these courses and what effect the wind plays in the results. “You can add weight to your bike with more aerodynamic components, and it will make you faster. It’s just a fact!” -Jean-Paul Ballard
