Bikes I worked on
Aero design work for Belgian Cycling Factory, first as R&D engineer, since July 2024 as a freelance contractor through Aeroneering Consult. Other projects are still under embargo.
Ridley Falcn RS
Lightweight and aerodynamic road bike, designed with airfoil selection and CFD. Introduced a diffuser fork for aero gains, and became the platform for later bikes such as the X-Night RS.
Ridley Dean Fast Disc
Time trial bike designed to be as aero as possible around an existing fork and basebar, with the airfoils chosen and placed for it.
Ridley Arena Fast
Aero and stiff track bike based on the Dean Fast Disc, with a new dropout system and a flip chip to adjust ride feel. Raced at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by Belgian riders.
Ridley Kanzo Fast × Apidura
Aero bikepacking bags designed with Apidura to make the Kanzo Fast faster. Developed with wind tunnel tests and CFD.
Tunnel upgrade
Project lead on the Bike Valley wind tunnel upgrade: a new measurement platform, new atmospheric and wind speed sensors, and closed-loop (PID) wind speed control.
