In modern cycling, the difference between the podium and anonymity is measured in watts. At Pedra.bike, we have always sought real solutions for the demanding cyclist, but this time we have gone a step further.
We have partnered with the engineering mastery of Jose Mari Lopez (LPZ) to develop the ultimate accessory: the first electronic and Smart race number holder.
Co-developed with Jose Mari Lopez (LPZ): Racing DNA
When you combine the passion of Pedra.bike with the technical vision of LPZ, the result is pure innovation. We have worked hand-in-hand with Jose Mari to understand how the turbulence of a conventional race number penalizes the cyclist and how to eliminate it without losing the functionality required by regulations.
The result is the Smart Plate DRS, a system that inherits the philosophy of Formula 1's Drag Reduction System to bring it to your rides.
Total control: Automatic, manual, or via GPS
The true magic of the Smart Plate is not just that it moves, but how it does it. The system offers three control modes so you always have the advantage:
-
Speed Mode: The sensor detects when you exceed 20 km/h and automatically activates the aero position.
-
GPS Synchronization: You can link it to your cycling computer. The holder will know, for example, when you enter a Strava segment or a flat section where the wind is punishing, adjusting its position to minimize drag.
-
Manual Control: A remote button on the handlebar allows you to decide when you want to "hide" the race number and when to display it (ideal for finish lines or judge checks).
The fact: A conventional race number can generate unnecessary drag. By folding it, the airflow over the handlebar becomes laminar, saving critical energy for the end of the stage.
The current range: Maximum efficiency today
It is important to note that the Smart electronic model is currently in the development and testing phase (we will announce the launch date very soon!). However, Pedra.bike and LPZ engineering is already available for your bike.
If you want to start gaining watts today, you can already find our line of manual and fixed race number holders on our website:
-
Ultra-light Aero Holders: Designed to integrate perfectly into modern frames.
-
Pro-Fit Models: The choice for those seeking maximum hold without vibrations or noise.
-
Clean Design: Forget about poorly cut zip ties; give your bike the professional finish it deserves.
The future is Smart, the present is Pedra.bike
Don't wait for the wind to slow you down. While we finish refining the software of the smart model with LPZ, you can equip your machine with the best aerodynamic technology on the market.
