Best Bike Split is a web based application that uses detailed information about a race course, a cyclist’s equipment, power data, riding style, as well as race day conditions to develop the optimal power plan for an athlete to achieve the fastest possible time on a course while staying within target power ranges. It uses advanced mathematics to determine where on the course it makes sense to power up and power down to hit the best time for a given power target.
