At its core, Best Bike Split functions by taking your personal data, including weight, FTP, and bike specifications, and combining it with detailed course information and forecasted weather. The platform's advanced mathematical and physics engine then calculates critical metrics like CdA and rolling resistance. It models the forces acting on a rider—aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance, gravity, and wind—for every segment of the course. This allows for the creation of a personalized, variable power output plan, rather than a generic percentage of FTP, ensuring optimal performance on race day.
Key capabilities include predicting your finish time before the event, providing exact power targets, and offering real-time guidance on your bike computer. Users can explore different equipment choices, pacing strategies, and race plans to see how factors like fitness, drag, weight, and weather impact outcomes. The tool is invaluable for avoiding 'blowing up' by matching pacing precisely to individual limits and learning from past ride data to continuously improve performance. It empowers athletes to plan smarter and race with total confidence from start to finish.
The platform is trusted by a vast community of over 150,000 athletes and coaches worldwide, including professional WorldTour cycling teams. It is particularly well-suited for Ironman racing, with a database of most Ironman courses globally, modeling the full 112-mile bike leg to ensure athletes arrive at T2 ready for their best marathon. Integrations with popular cycling computers like Garmin, Wahoo ELEMNT, and Hammerhead Karoo facilitate real-time adherence to pacing targets. A free plan is available, with premium options unlocking advanced features like an AI Workout Builder and AI Assistant.
