PREPARE FOR YOUR BICYCLE RACE WITH THE DELTA RS ROCKER PLATE

For any amateur bicycle racer looking forward to a local criterium race, the velodrome or a Gran Fondo event, finding the time to train and prepare on the road can be difficult. That's why training and racing indoors on Zwift, Rouvy or MyWhoosh can be very convenient. The main problem is the static nature of of indoor cycling. 

For a modest investment these indoor sessions can be transformed and much improved with the Delta RS rocker plate. Our rocker plates' universal fit and 4-way motion enhance indoor cycling training for racing by improving comfort, core engagement, and technique, ultimately leading to better performance on race day. They simulate the natural movement of riding outdoors, making workouts more enjoyable and realistic, which can translate to improved pedaling efficiency and reduced injury risk. 

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

Improved Comfort and Reduced Injury Risk:

• Mimics Outdoor Riding: Rocker plates allow for side-to-side and fore/aft movement, mimicking the natural motion of riding outdoors. 
• Reduces Saddle Pressure: The dynamic movement helps distribute pressure more evenly on the saddle, reducing the likelihood of saddle sores and discomfort. 
  
• Less Stress on Joints: By absorbing some of the impact and stress, rocker plates can help reduce strain on joints, potentially preventing injuries. 

Enhanced Training and Performance:

• Better Core Engagement: The rocking motion requires the rider to engage their core muscles for stability, leading to improved core strength and balance.
• More Realistic Riding Experience: The dynamic movement makes indoor training feel more natural and engaging, potentially reducing boredom and encouraging more consistent training.
• Improved Pedal Stroke: By promoting better alignment and balance, rocker plates can help riders develop a more efficient and more powerful pedal stroke.
• Frame Protection: The rocking motion can absorb some of the forces generated during hard efforts, potentially reducing stress on the bike frame. 

Considerations for Racing:

• Transitioning from Static Trainers: Some riders may find the movement initially challenging to get used to, but with practice, the rocker plate can become a valuable tool for improving comfort and performance.
• Individual Preferences: Rocker plates are not a one-size-fits-all solution, and some riders may find the movement distracting, especially during very intense efforts or races. 
• Proper Setup is Crucial: Ensuring the rocker plate is properly balanced and adjusted to the rider's weight and riding style is essential for maximizing benefits and avoiding any negative impacts on performance. 

Our Delta RS rocker plate can be a valuable tool for cyclists training for races by enhancing comfort, core engagement, and technique, ultimately leading to improved performance and a more enjoyable indoor training experience.
