RPM2: Latest News From the Cylance Pro Team

logo_full_sizeAs an official sponsor and partner with the Cylance Pro Team, RPM² is happy to share what these incredible athletes have been up to. The team has been busy participating in races and traveling across Europe. Following are highlights from their latest endeavors.

 Trofeo Alfredo Binda in Cittiglio, Italy

As the third event in the Cylance Women’s World Tour, the Trofeo Alfredo Finda will feature cyclists Shelley Olds (USA), Rosselaa Ratto (ITA), Alison Tetrick (USA), Sheyla Gutierrez (ESP), Doris Schweizer (SUI), and Rachele Barbieri (ITA).

What makes Trofeo Binda a unique race is its very steep climbs that test even the best climbing cyclists. The race is 123.3km long and its steep, hilly locale is arguably one of the toughest races for professional cyclists, a challenge that the Cylance Team welcomes.

Ronde Van Drenthe

The second Women’s World Tour event was held in the Netherlands. The Ronde Van Drenthe is a 138.3km trek that winds through the hills and climbs of Hoogeveen. Cylance’s Shelley Olds earned a 6th place victory and was the highest-placing cyclist from the United States.

Strade Bianche

The first event of the Cylance Pro World Tour kicked off with the Strade Bianche race. Cylance’s Shelley Olds finished in 17th place. Rosella Ratto earned a 25th place and Sheyla Gutierrrez finished at 44th. Strade Bianche is notoriously difficult. In fact, a third of the competitors were unable to even finish the race. The reason Strade Bianche is so challenging is that the 121km event features 2000m of climbing along with steep and patchy dirt and gravel trails.

The Natural Running Network Applauds RPM² Inserts’ Technology

rpm2 footbed app dashIn a blog post and subsequent podcast titled “The Next BIG DEAL in Training Technology”, the Natural Running Network and podcast host, Richard Diaz discusses the potential and effectiveness of RPM² footbeds and technology—specifically the fact that the RPM² system provides the world’s first footbed power meter for runners. Richard Diaz discussed how RPM² inserts can be of great benefit to runners and other endurance athletes with Johnny Ross, our founder and CEO.

An Overview of the Podcast

The podcast opens with host, Richard Diaz discussing how RPM² can be of use to both short-distance runners and endurance athletes striving to compete in an Ironman or complete a 100-mile trek. Richard Diaz, an expert in gait correction himself, has a great understanding of what our devices have to offer the athletic community.

One of Richard Diaz’s favorite features of RPM² is the instantaneous feedback our devices provide. Johnny expands on this notion by discussing how 70% of endurance athletes incur injuries each year and many of these injuries occur when an athlete’s mechanics break down during performance—meaning that the force exerted from each side of the body is unequal. Addressing mechanical breakdowns with reliable and wearable technology could prevent injury in addition to improving movement and performance.

Johnny Ross and Richard Diaz discuss the data that is collected by the RPM² triathlete and running systems and how that data is used to help coaches and trainers make adjustments in training to promote movement that is more fluid. Additionally, the revolutionary concept of having a footbed power meter was discussed. Below, we have linked the podcast so that you can listen to it in its entirety.

Cycling Weekly Features RPM2’s Power Meter

runningA number of news outlets, podcasters, bloggers, and coaches have featured our products this Spring and we could not be more enthused. The buzz surrounding RPM² has to do with the fact that more athletes and coaches have been exposed to what our products have to offer. Leaders in the endurance athlete community are thrilled that not only do our footbeds provide gait analysis and other data to measure bilateral equivalence but also that our running and triathlete systems offer built-in power meters.

Power Meters: RPM2 CEO, Johnny Ross Featured on Training Bible Podcast

Johnny Ross Head ShotOn February 4th, our CEO, Johnny Ross joined Adam Zucco and Scott Iott on the Training Bible’s podcast to discuss how RPM² works and how it can be of benefit to athletes. If you would like to listen to the entire podcast, click here.

Whenever the opportunity presents itself to discuss the importance of fluid biomechanical movement and how achieving bilateral equivalence can enhance performance, our team members are more than happy to give their insight. Whether it is attending a sporting event such as Ironman or joining in a discussion with coaches and training experts, we make room in our busy schedules to provide product education and support to new and potential customers alike.

An Overview of the Podcast with Johnny Ross

The podcast focused on how RPM² works, a brief rundown of the product’s revolutionary technology, and how using RPM² inserts can benefit athletes. Johnny Ross discussed the built-in power meter function as well as the origin story behind the invention of our footbeds.

Essentially, Adam and Scott inquired about the type of data collected by the footbeds and how our product’s ultra-sensitive force sensors collect the data. Johnny Ross explained that the power meter function assesses power bilaterally and collectively in relation to cadence to generate data for “how” an athlete runs. This data then provides an opportunity to gain speed in training by making adjustments.

Four force sensors in each RPM² insert collect data. The sensors are divided into four quadrants that correspond with four quadrants of the foot. After the force sensors are calibrated to the individual athlete, they can measure vertical and horizontal power. Aside from aggregating data on power, RPM² inserts provide gait analysis by measuring variables such as sequential force strike, flight time, and contact time in each foot. This data can reveal breakdowns in biomechanical movement over the course of a run. If a breakdown in movement occurs, training can be adjusted and monitored to improve performance and speed.

About The Training Bible Podcast

The Training Bible podcast has aired since 2008. Adam Zucco and Scott Iott host coaches, product representatives, elite trainers, and professional athletes to discuss the latest news and innovations that affect triathletes.

Cylance Inc., and Inspire Sports, LLC sponsor the Cylance Pro Cycling team. In addition to competing on an international level, the team travels throughout the world to inspire and motivate budding athletes, adolescents, and adults. During the team camp, the cycling team was all given a set of RPM² footbeds to try.

After wearing and calibrating the inserts, team members then used our mobile app to test out our revolutionary cycling power meter and explore their levels of bilateral symmetry.

Below is a video of the Cylance team trying out our inserts.

The Importance of Bilateral Equivalence

While RPM² has long been promoting the idea of incorporating measureable data on bilateral equivalence into training regimens, the notion of bilateral symmetry and its importance on performance is beginning to become more widely known.

Achieving bilateral equivalence has great applications for all types of athletes. Essentially, achieving and maintaining bilateral symmetry will help increase speed and promote fluid biomechanical movements. This is incredibly important for endurance athletes and those overcoming previous injuries.

As a company dedicated to helping athletes achieve results and overcome performance plateaus, we were thrilled to show our technology to the Cylance team along with the myriad of other athletes we have worked with.
