Why aren’t all cycling helmets the same shape?

Because one shape doesn’t fit every ride.

From sleek, aerodynamic road helmets to deeper, more protective MTB designs, every shape is built with a specific purpose such as balancing protection, comfort, airflow and speed.

It’s not just about looks. It’s designed for the way you ride.

If you’d like to experience it for yourself, come along to the SSEH Amateur Night, where you’ll have the chance to explore and try a wide range of products.

A great way to wrap up the summer!

We were delighted to join our colleagues from Vorteq, Bramble CFD and Catesby Projects for a day of team building, friendly competition and plenty of laughs.

Hosted at Daventry Miniature World, the day kicked off with miniature car racing, escape rooms and mini golf before we headed outside for some football, followed by a well-earned BBQ! 🏎️⛳️⚽️🍔

It was a great chance for everyone to get together and, of course, find out who has the competitive streak! 😄

A big thank you to everyone who helped organise the day and to everyone who got involved and made it such a fun one.

From all of us at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub, we’re already looking forward to the next one! 🙌

Can socks and overshoes make you faster?

Surprisingly, yes.

At cycling speeds, a surprising amount of drag comes from the rider, and your feet and lower legs sit right in the airflow. The texture, shape and transition of your socks or overshoes can therefore have a measurable impact on aerodynamic drag.

In short, a well-designed, close-fitting sock or overshoe can help the airflow stay attached for longer and reduce turbulence around the leg and shoe. The gains might be small but in cycling, small aerodynamic gains add up

If you'd like to see for yourself, come along to the SSEH Amateur Night, where you can try out a wide range of products.

How does fabric reduce drag?

In cycling, the right fabric can help airflow stay smoother over the body, reducing turbulence and aerodynamic drag. That’s why modern race fabrics are engineered not just for comfort, but to optimise airflow where it matters most.

Small changes in fabric can make a measurable difference at race speed.

If you'd like to see how your fabric performs, test it in our dedicated fabric wind tunnel. Follow this link to find out more: https://silverstonesportshub.co.uk/fabric-wind-tunnel/

Meet Shaun, the Technical Operations Manager at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub.

With more than 39 years in automotive and motorsport, Shaun has spent much of his career at the sharp end of performance, including senior management roles in the aerodynamic departments of Red Bull Racing and Williams Racing.

He’s been part of four FIA Formula 1 World Championships, working with some of the best engineering teams in the world to push performance, solve problems and find those small gains that make a big difference.

Today, he’s bringing that same high-performance mindset to cycling, applying lessons from F1 to a sport where technology, engineering and marginal gains matter just as much.
