PERFORMANCE JOURNEY

SPECIALISED EXPERTISE FOR CYCLING PERFORMANCE

Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or racing a friend on a favourite route, cycling is simply hard graft. Many riders don’t mind a bit of hard work, that’s why so many of us enjoy the challenge of cycling. You train, you push your body to its limits come rain or shine because there’s nothing quite like that feeling when you are at your peak.

those who own a Wilier know that they didn't choose just any bike. they know that the symbol of the halberd is part of a history that is over a century old. that experience is combined with the most advanced knowledge, ingenuity and originality for which the brand is so well known, always striving to do something better. that same spirit has also lead to the creation of the Wilier performance progress lab.

We feel passionate about making that journey to reaching your performance goals more attainable, be it with your bike set-up or with your training requirements. We want to make the tools and services usually associated with elite teams and professionals accessible to everybody - especially our customers.

We are all unique; no training programme should be the same. generic training routines may help your performance to a point, the problem is they are just that; generic, designed to appeal to everyone.

at Wilier performance progress lab we give you access to our human performance technicians who will analyse your body, test your limits and create a progressive plan that is bespoke to you. the victories of the professional athletes who have taken their journey with us are a testament to that.

THE PROCESS

BIkE FIT

our bike fit and analysis sessions incorporate an assessment to address your individual biomechanics, soft tissue and flexibility factors identifying any physical limitations and injury history. our emphasis is placed on meeting each rider's unique requirements.

once your limitations are identified, we will optimise your position on the bike for a lasting, comfortable ride and develop a plan to improve on those restrictions or limitations.

for example, if your hamstrings are too tight, an extreme tucked aerodynamic position will be difficult to maintain throughout a whole race or cycle ride. this will reduce your performance and could lead to injury.

as you follow a Wilier performance programme we will re-evaluate, analyse and develop your positioning and training plan to co-inside with your progression and development; making the relevant adjustments to your bike as we move along.

THE TESTS

WILIER PERFORMANCE PROGRESS LAB

We believe that anyone can benefit from implementing the performance progress lab service into their training programme. by simply understanding your physiological make-up, performance level, and limitations, our human performance technicians can assess and accurately benchmark your fitness using a scientific approach.

the use of controlled environments and specialised tests will offer valuable feedback on an individual’s current fitness and performance levels. tests such as lactate threshold, pulmonary function and maximum lung capacity are conducted and are aligned specifically to cycling performance.

during this part of the process we will also be giving you a specific cycling technique session using a Wattbike. Your technician will guide you on the best way to utilise the energy in your muscles while cycling.

put another way; how much time, effort and money goes into the bike set up? frame choice, saddle and wheel choice, suspension set up and much more all contribute towards a good or bad day’s cycling.

therefore, it goes without saying that your personal set up is just as crucial when it comes to the only thing that truly matters, your performance.

YOU TRAIN

THE REALWORLD

once the bike fit and performance progress lab testing have both been completed, the next step of the journey is to transfer everything we have learnt from the analysis and evaluation process into a ‘real life’ situation.

using the data collected from your analysis session we will design a bespoke training programme for you. We will then take you out on a ride on one of our top of the range Wilier demo fleet, utilising your performance progress lab results and putting those technique sessions into practice.

Wilier performance progress lab and the team will follow you throughout your training plan and ensure your development is leading to your best possible performance.

for optimum progression the whole process should be completed quarterly.
