There are tons of aftermarket out-front mount options now to secure your GPS to your bike, but Nano Worx says their unique Aero Mounts will save you Watts versus more conventional mounts. And they have wind tunnel test data to back up that claims. Nano Worx’s secret is that each mount is designed for a specific GPS computer, so it neatly clicks into place behind the aerodynamic nose of the Aero Mount smoothing airflow over and around your device.
Nano Worx 3D-printed GPS-specific Aero computer mounts
Each Nano Worx Aero Mounts is specifically designed to smooth airflow over your specific GPS cycling computer model, with an aerodynamic cowl optimzed for the exact shape of your GPS. And what’s then so unique with these 3D-printed computer mounts is the attachment design. First, you rotate your device into the mount to secure it. Then you slide the GPS forward in the mount to tuck it up closely to the aerodynamic cowl, where a small rare earth magnet holds it in place for maximized aerodynamics.
Nano Worx took their Garmin Aero Mount into the wind tunnel to see how it stood up next to a baseline strap mount on top of the handlebar, no mount at all, and the stock Garmin out-front mount. And the results show a ~1W reduction in wind averaged power at 45km/hr vs. the stock out-front mount, even some reduction vs. no cycling computer at all, and almost 3W savings compared to the baseline mount.
