TT pacing strategy
The optimal power plan for your course — where to bury yourself and where to breathe.

Rider + Bike + Route = Time to Finish
The Equation of Speed, solved for your ride.
Crux 5
Gravel, simulated.
Sand, washboard, broken tarmac — surface roughness is part of the equation.
Race it on your courseHow it works
The same simulation engine Specialized uses to develop race bikes
- 01
Your course, decoded
Every meter of your ride becomes terrain the engine understands — every rise, every corner, every descent.
- 02
Every force accounted for
Aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance, gravity, cornering — the forces that decide races, computed for your exact setup.
- 03
Ridden at your power
No generic rider. The simulation pushes your watts through the course, so the answer is about you.
- 04
The gap, explained
Two setups cross the line. You see the time between them — and exactly where the course created it.
Every setup, simulated
Your course decides
the fastest bike
Aero wins the flats. Weight wins the climbs. Time to Finish runs the physics over your actual ride — second by second, meter by meter — and tells you which setup crosses the line first, and why.

- 02 Build two setups from real Specialized equipment
- 03 See the time gap, where it opens, and what decides it
