-
Front and rear brake wireless sensors that fit onto your bike like a normal brake adaptor.
The sensors measure how much braking force is being applied at any point in time.
This is overlaid onto GPS readouts of a track to identify your key opportunities to improve.
-
How much, when and where you are braking.
Data is collected on every single brake event over a track.
This is then used to analyze front/rear brake balance, effectiveness, your flow score and categorized brake events.
-
Anyone who wants to get faster on a track!
For those not racing, this helps people analyze their braking technique, to ride with more confidence in their ability to control their speed.
-
The opportunity to use the latest cutting-edge coaching tools and hardware.
We will guide you along the way - helping to analyze your data, identify opportunities to improve, evaluate trail sections and implement changes to your riding.
BRAKEACE ANALYSIS SESSIONS
Data-driven brake analysis (4 hours)
Session overview:
We'll install BrakeAce sensors on your bike and choose a suitable test track.
You'll ride, we'll analyze the data, and then you'll ride again with adjustments.
We'll focus on specific sections, optimizing your line choice, braking zones, and ratios for faster riding.
You'll gain valuable knowledge about your riding habits and how to improve your braking technique.
For more information, expand the banners throughout this page.
* Note: Only for forks/frames with a 180mm post mount (minimum) and 203, 220 and 223mm rotors.
-
We will install the sensors for you, 30 mins before your session starts.
For ease of repetition, we prefer to use Skyline bike park or Coronet peak.
-
We'll choose a track where you're 100% comfortable to ensure you can easily adjust your braking habits. We'll start with warm-up laps to collect baseline data.
Then, we'll analyze the data and identify key areas for improvement.
Finally, we'll develop and implement a strategy to address these areas.
We’ll maximize riding time during the 4 hour session and we’ll be riding alongside you, so you can get additional feedback.
-
We’ll remove the sensors and restore your bike back to its original configuration.
You’ll have gained valuable insight into your braking habits and what you need to do to improve.
Usually, we will have met your goal of riding faster, too.
-
Lift pass for the riding location.
Any additional parts. like new pads, rotors.

Read these terms in conjunction with our full Terms & Conditions.
We firmly believe in the benefits of big rotors. We offer BrakeAce sessions for bikes capable of running 220/223mm rotors front and either 203mm or 220/223mm rear. 200mm rotors will not work on either the front or rear. Check with your bike manufacturer that this is possible before booking.
We need a little extra brake hose length to fit the sensors. If your hoses are too tightly trimmed, the sensors may not fit (we don’t recommend the uber-neat approach of trimming brake hoses - it limits set up options too).
Your bike and your brakes must arrive clean and in good condition.
We cannot guarantee a successful day if your bike or your brake pads, rotors and brake lines are worn out, damaged, contaminated or in need of a system bleed.
If in any doubt, we strongly encourage you to visit a bike shop to get your brakes checked before you attend a session.
Failing to ensure your equipment is functional may require the session to be cancelled and a refund will not be offered.
Customers can opt to take out an additional insurance cover at $20 per session. Without this, customers will be liable for paying our excess charges for replacing damaged equipment (up to $250).
It’s best if a rider comes with an open mind and is willing to make changes to their braking. As with any change, it can take some time to get used to them, so keep this in mind when you ride.
