Inspired by paragliding, the innovative design makes bold promises, yet the lack of performance data leaves questions about its true impact.

    Strangely, the benefit of wearing one backward (on your chest) is a little bit better than wearing it on your back.

    That’s fascinating and makes me wonder if wearing both at once was tested. I can’t imagine it’d be comfortable though.

      They definitely did try both but I don’t know if anyone was ever cheeky enough to wear that setup in an actual race.

      Currently they’re putting race radios in the front, centered side to side, during TTs. Rumor has it that the UCI has already had to tell a couple of teams to stop using extra tape and stuff to embiggen the radio lump.
