The Power to Prototype Less C


Here’s how Bramble’s automated CFD platform is making Computational Fluid Dynamics more accessible to the wider industry.


omputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is, in essence, a virtual wind tunnel, a way of mapping airflow, pressure and drag around frames, wheels, helmets and riders. For manufacturers, it’s a tool to test more ideas, quicker, and at far


lower cost than traditional prototyping, ensuring only the best designs move forward. Until recently, however, CFD was the preserve of major R&D teams with specialist expertise. Setting up models, cleaning geometry and interpreting data took days of manual work, often slowing innovation rather than speeding it up. That’s beginning to change. Modern, automated CFD platforms like Bramble CFD are making aerodynamic

simulation accessible to a far wider range of cycling manufacturers. By automating complex tasks that once required dedicated experts, Bramble integrates CFD smoothly into the design process, turning what was once a bottleneck into an everyday design tool. At its core, Bramble streamlines how engineers prepare and run simulations. Intelligent geometry handling recognises and applies the correct settings automatically, while pre-built templates tailored to cycling (for frames, wheels and helmets) standardise the setup process. What once took hours to configure can now be achieved in minutes. This speed fundamentally changes the scope of aerodynamic development. The practical reality is that
