Chassis outriggers look aero section but are pointing upwards. I don't think ANYONE'S chassis in that championship can create THAT much upwash. Aero section steering rod looks bigger in cross section than the front suspension pushrod on the [undisclosed energy drinks brand] F1 car and will create lift at the front where it dips up. Must take a lot of load at speed then. They're obviously, OBVIOUSLY trying to create outwash with that front end, create a vortex to kick it over and around the rider, landing back behind his legs where it can feed the rear diffuser. Sharp
moulding linedirection change on those chassis tubes will create terrible separation, we're talking like 2018 McLaren levels of separation. They'll need some flow conditioners and flaps to sort that out = extra unnecessary drag. Bargeboard area looks underdeveloped. See the opening there for the S duct in the nose - it's tiny but it is there and the photo is deliberately taken at this angle so that can't see the outlet up on the top surface energising the air hitting the rider. They need to work on their size zero concept. Conventional spoked wheel potentially says a lot about aero correlation issues between their CFD models and wind tunnel. I can't wait to see it run with some flow viz on, it'll tell us the whole story.
So they shaped an aero carbon cargo bike, without the carbon profile actually being aero or less prone to drag and wind resistance? We need some expertise in here @Jonny69
