AeroCoach

What AeroCoach does

AeroCoach LTD is a UK private limited company headquartered in Droitwich, founded and led by Director Dr B Xavier Disley, specializing in cycling, triathlon and track aerodynamics. Its core technology stack combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, wind tunnel testing and real-world performance validation, which is applied both internally for proprietary product development and externally as a paid testing service. The company designs and sells a portfolio of branded carbon-fiber components under multiple sub-brands: AEOX carbon tubeless wheels (ZEPHYR, TITAN, ULTRA, Aegix, Disc, Prima Pista, Estoc and Anlace variants); Ascalon carbon and titanium aerobar extensions with Electron Beam Melting manufacturing for the Elite tier; Phaser, Blitz (3D-printed titanium) and Ornix carbon handlebars; Vorzug pursuit bars; BRUTE power-meter cranks and Aten chainrings; AffixR chain guides; FMB/AeroCoach Pista 3000 track tyres; and Nopinz/AeroCoach co-branded SPEEDSCALE Flow clothing. An extensive adapter ecosystem covers tilt blocks and accessories for 50+ bike models. Registered IP includes the AEOX, SPEEDSCALE and AttackSpeed trademarks and EU/UK registered designs for the Ornix handlebar.

The business operates four revenue streams: direct-to-consumer hardware sales via the aero-coach.co.uk storefront (primary), wind tunnel and velodrome aerodynamic testing services for riders and teams, rider coaching services, and product-design consulting for equipment and apparel manufacturers. Pricing spans from £1.67 small accessories to £3,150 custom titanium aerobar extensions, with wheelsets at £895-£2,200 and clothing at £25-£349.99. Distribution combines DTC e-commerce with an international dealer network providing global reach and VAT/tariff handling for US, EU and other destinations. Customers include Tour de France winners, Giro and Vuelta winners, Olympic Champions, Ironman World Champions, UCI World Tour teams, UCI Hour Record holders, and equipment/clothing manufacturers (e.g., Nopinz for apparel, FMB for tyres). The company positions itself as product-led growth, leveraging quantified performance data (drag reduction percentages, watt savings, lap-time advantages) as the primary marketing asset, with professional athlete usage serving as organic endorsement.
