D2H Cycling Machine – The Quest for Unmatched Accuracy
The Power Behind Performance – Part 2

We are proud to unveil our Cycling Machine, designed to replicate real riding – a tool specialised for cycling drivetrain development. Its capabilities span power meter testing, drivetrain efficiency analysis, indoor trainer testing, environmental and vibrational testing to chain bedding and durability testing.

Our advanced Cycling Machine overcomes the limitations of traditional testing by combining precision, repeatability, and full drivetrain fidelity:
- Fully intact drivetrain – Unlike setups that remove crank arms or isolate components, our rig preserves the complete drivetrain — crank, chainring, chain, cassette, and hub — ensuring that all mechanical interfaces behave exactly as they would in real riding.
- High-accuracy input power – With programmable torque and cadence set-points, the system delivers a precise and reproducible input reference that is logged at a high-rate, enabling benchmarking of power meters, drivetrain components, and system efficiency with confidence.
- Elimination of human variability – Fatigue, inconsistent effort, and limited access to strong riders are removed from the equation, allowing tests to be run repeatedly with exact power and cadence profiles.
- Controlled environment – External factors like terrain, weather, and vibration are fully controlled and simulated or removed, isolating system effects and providing clean, actionable data.
- Extended testing capability – Long-duration tests for chain bedding, component lifetime evaluation, or drivetrain efficiency can be conducted continuously, without downtime or rider fatigue.
- High customisability – The system can be adapted for a wide variety of applications, including turbo trainer testing, component testing, sensor calibration, R&D development, and more. Optional add-ons include environmental chambers, vibration motors, and other specialised modules to meet specific research or testing needs.
- Versatile application – Ideal for power meter and sensor development, component testing, efficiency studies, and lab-based performance optimisation programs.
Result: A unique platform that bridges the gap between lab accuracy and real-world cycling dynamics, delivering reliable data that was previously impossible to achieve with human riders or conventional test setups.
