hi I'm John Hammond CEO of Ella comp in 2015 we announced a new product called power pod a cycling power meter that's simple portable accurate and affordable and today I'm very excited to announce a new product called aero pod aero pod incorporates the latest generation of digital sensors it also includes a brand new wind port pitot tube design and all of it is wrapped up in a beautiful sleek case to zone so arrow pod is a great power meter but more than that when you use it with a direct force power meter it also becomes an aerodynamic CDA system instead of spending thousands of dollars to travel to a wind tunnel or velodrome to get aerodynamic data attached aero pod to your bicycle pair it to your direct force power meter and then get out on your roads and ride while you're on the road you'll see power data but you'll also see CDA hillslope wind speed elevation and warp in fact aero pod includes a measurement called time advantage time advantage turns your aerodynamic sleekness into a number that tells you how much time you're gaining or losing due to changes in your ride position if you're a time trial is it is a fantastic way to make sure that you're staying on pace while you're riding Aero pilot will show its data in one of three different ways the new every site Raptor glasses display your Aero pod data in a head-up display in your field of vision for Garmin owners we have a new app if you have a connect IQ compatible Garmin device our app will show Aero pod data right on your Garmin screen and if you have a Bluetooth low-energy smartphone the powerhouse app from Belikov will show your Aero pod data arrow pod also includes our power stroke method of measuring pedal stroke efficiency and economy in short arrow pod is the best power meter that we have ever made imagine the perfect road the feeling of flying over smooth pavement gliding from curve to curve unfortunately for most of us the reality is not so smooth at redshifts sports we want every road to feel like the perfect Road which is why we're so excited to be back here on Kickstarter to introduce the Shox top suspension step the shock stop is a pivoting suspension step that isolates your body from bumps shocks and Road buddies compared to a regular step the shock stop dramatically reduces impact forces on your hands and wrists we designed the stem from the ground up specifically for road riding and it's available in a variety of lengths and angles with adjustable stiffness so everyone from performance cyclists to recreational riders and commuters can find the perfect fit I love riding my road bike but it's really stiff and it tends to transmit every little bump straight to my hands and arms I use gloves extra bar tape and I even upgrade it to a carbon-fiber frame but in reality those changes only added a tiny amount of cushioning you've probably felt fatigued numbness or even pain in your hands after a long ride and usually it's just annoying but the vibrations and impacts actually slow you down and cause a loss of control and over time they can even lead to long-term injury the shock stop stem has an integrated pivot joint with twin adjustable elastomers that smooth out the road letting you relax and enjoy the ride instead of dodging every little bump and crack you can focus on the road ahead every shock your body absorbs actually slows you down the shop stop lets you ride faster at the same energy level and it also reduces fatigue so you feel fresher at the end of every ride at the end of the day the shock stop just makes every part of your ride feel better installing the shock stomp on your bike is incredibly easy and you can choose from different stiffness elastomers to get the precise feel you want we design the shop stop to be lightweight torsionally rigid and completely maintenance-free our pivot design uses the same fully sealed cartridge bearings that are used in full suspension mountain bikes and we chose the highest quality components and materials to ensure that the shocks top would stand up to even the roughest roads let's be honest the suspension stems of the past were a bit of an eyesore and they definitely weren't optimised for a road riding we tuned the travel feel and aesthetics of the shocks top to perfectly compliment modern road bikes and the roads we ride on this right in your line of sight right when you need it then it's honestly going to be a game changer for me completely be able to write in a group see exactly where I'm going have all of my dad without having to look down at my computer it makes it incredibly safe I'm not sure literate and it was super easy to put my workout on there it has an arc I can program in my wattage and I know exactly what my goal is as a coach you know one of the functionalities of the camera giving that to an athlete and taken out into a group ride or a race having them then be able to look at the data with the athlete and give them feedback on its positioning probably above all just being able to see my heart rate my power together constantly and kind of make a decision like how hard I can go having all the information in front of you is pretty awesome and I don't think I even looked down once on my cycling computer which is kind of sad it was pretty much perfect because I could gouge my effort all the way for the finish line and eventually I got first you know there's certain points in you in your sport where things change you know they talk about the Aero bars in triathlon they talk about the zero helmet but this is one of those monumental moments in the sport when technology's going to change the game for everybody one of my favorite things to do is to get out and ride my bike but the combination of rough roads and stiff bike frames means riding can be really tough on your body in 2016 we launched the shock stop suspension step to add cushioning to the front end of the bike the stem changed the way people thought about suspension but the front of the bike is only half the equation that's why we're so excited to introduce the shock stop seat post a revolutionary short travel suspension seatpost that will completely change your riding experience no matter what kind of bike you ride maybe you're out for an epic gravel adventure or just dealing with potholes on your daily commute you're gonna find rough roads wherever you ride modern bikes are designed for speed and efficiency not for comfort this means bumps and impacts pass straight into your body which leads to fatigue pain or even injury we designed the shock stop seat post to suspend your body and isolate you from the shocks and vibrations of the road we optimize the travel and suspension kinematics to provide a super plush bottomless suspension feeling we designed the seat post to integrate seamlessly with the styling of modern bikes you can change the spring rate and preload to match your specific riding style and it's compatible with all types of writing gravel me bike commuter Road and mountain studies show fatigue reduces riding efficiency by up to 20% typically adding comfort to your bike meant sacrificing performance the shock stop seat post lets you ride faster and more efficiently because instead of bracing yourself against impacts you can say seated and keep pedaling over rough surfaces it reduces the accumulated effects of bumps and vibrations allowing you to ride further faster and more comfortable the shock stop seat post is the rare product that increases comfort and performance riding the shocks top seat post is truly transformative introducing the Kouros Omni smart cycling helmet with bone conduction audio that gives you a safe Wireless Bloodless precision audio experience as you ride our technology delivers audio vibrations through your upper cheekbones and directly into your inner ear keeping your ears open to listen to your environment and your hands on the bike combined with a wind resistant
