Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub

You’ve seen what we can do with bikes… but what else can you test in a wind tunnel?

At SSEH, our sports performance wind tunnel is designed to help athletes, teams and manufacturers understand how every detail affects performance, and sometimes that means testing the unexpected.

From skeleton racing rigs and BMX bikes to equipment, clothing, positions and even things as simple as hairspray, we can investigate how objects interact with airflow and uncover opportunities for improvement.

Because aerodynamics isn’t just about speed - it’s about understanding drag, stability and efficiency in the pursuit of better performance.

The question is… what would you test?

What if you could access world-class aerodynamic testing without ever stepping foot in Silverstone?

For many brands, travel, logistics and busy schedules can delay valuable product testing. That's where Remote Testing at SSEH comes in, simply send us your products, and our expert team will carry out comprehensive testing for you.

Our Remote Testing service is designed to fit your needs, with flexible options including:
✅ Rent a rider for testing
✅ Use a standard mannequin
✅ 3D print a replica mannequin based on your own rider for highly representative results

When remote testing in the wind tunnel, you can watch the testing live from anywhere, giving you the opportunity to observe the session, ask questions and collaborate with our engineers in real time. Whether you're developing cycling apparel, helmets, wheels or other performance products, Remote Testing makes it easier than ever to access the same world-class facilities and expertise without leaving your office.

We still have space available in our Amateur night session in September. Here we offer cycling enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the same world-class sports performance wind tunnel trusted by elite riders and professional teams.

You'll also receive personalised aerodynamic insights and data to optimise your riding position, equipment selection, and overall bike setup.

If you’re interested, be sure to get in touch to secure your place for September: https://silverstonesportshub.co.uk/amateur-night/

Not all wind tunnels are designed with cyclists in mind. Ours is.

From its open-jet design to ±30° yaw capability and wind speeds up to 28 m/s, every detail is built to deliver accurate, repeatable aerodynamic testing at the conditions riders actually experience.

The result? Faster testing, reliable data, and meaningful performance gains when marginal gains matter most. 🚴💨

Your fastest helmet might not be the one you’re wearing.

That’s why we’ve added 4 Rudy Project helmets to the equipment room for Amateur Night testing.

And it’s not just helmets.

Our equipment room is packed with aero suits, socks, overshoes and gloves, all ready to test in the tunnel.

Because aero isn’t about what looks fast.
It’s about what tests fast.

Swap equipment. Compare setups. Find free speed.

See exactly where you’re gaining time and where you’re not.

Real data. Real gains. No guesswork.

Gain more speed by combining our two performance facilities.

The Pedalling Efficiency Rig helps quantify how rider power is transferred to the road, highlighting opportunities to improve mechanical and rider efficiency under real riding conditions.

From there, the Wind Tunnel provides a controlled environment to refine aerodynamics, where changes in position and setup can reduce drag, save watts, and increase speed.

Two environments. One objective: convert every watt into measurable speed.

Built for elite performance teams, designed to deliver a competitive advantage you can quantify.
