Goal
Quantify performance differences between equipment setups (e.g. TT vs Road, or different wheels and tyres).
What is an equipment setup?
Either a Rider Setup (comparison type Rider setups), or one rider setup combined with different wheel options (front/rear wheel + tyre choices; comparison type Wheel options).
You need to compare at least two setups or options; one of them is the baseline (reference) in the results.
Context matters
All setups are simulated on the same course, segmentation, wind and fixed power plan, so the comparison reflects equipment differences, not pacing differences.
Best practice: launch the equipment optimization from a pacing result (Optimize equipment) so the power plan is realistic.
Options & baseline
When comparing wheel options, mark the Baseline (Set as baseline): the wheel choice for which the CdA and bike weight in your rider setup apply.
Iteration & runs
Adjust the options (e.g. add a new tyre) and use Edit & rerun. Each run is saved with its own Run name; compare them via View results history.
Each run uses one optimization credit (see Plans, trial & credits 💳).
How to read results (at a glance)
Overview ranks setups by total time; confirm the intended Reference (baseline).
Compare shows where gains happen by Duration/Speed/Power and by Segments/Groups.
The graph view shows the Δ duration along the course and validates the story (e.g. aero wins on headwind flats).
