CYCLING PERFORMANCE PROFILE
POWERED BY THE TRI-SYSTEM ENDURANCE MODEL (TEM)
Three systems determine how you perform on the bike.
We test all three.
FIND OUT WHAT IS LIMITING YOUR CYCLING PERFORMANCE
The Cycling Performance Profile uses the Tri-System Endurance Model to assess your aerobic capacity, threshold utilisation and endurance durability.Three tests, One complete physiological profile.
Clear guidance on what to train next and how to pace your races.

FTP IS ONLY PART OF YOUR PERFORMANCE
FTP tells us how much power you can sustain around threshold. It does not tell us why your FTP is where it is, how much aerobic capacity you have available, or how well you maintain your performance as fatigue builds.
Two athletes can have the same FTP but require completely different training.
The Tri-System Endurance Model separates your cycling performance into three systems so we can identify where your biggest opportunity lies.
CAPACITY
VO₂ / aerobic ceiling
“How much aerobic power do you have available?”
UTILISATION
FTP relative to aerobic capacity
“How much of your potential can you sustain?”
DURABILITY
Efficiency + cardiovascular drift
“How well do you maintain performance over time?”
The real value comes from understanding how these areas relate to one another. That is what allows us to identify your strengths, find the areas holding you back and recommend where your training should focus.
HOW WE BUILD YOUR PROFILE
No single test can provide a complete understanding of your cycling performance.
That is why we collect power and heart-rate data across three testing sessions.
Each test tells us something different. The value comes from analysing them together.
TEST ONE - AEROBIC CAPACITY
Ramp assessment to establish VO₂ power and aerobic ceiling.
TEST TWO - THRESHOLD UTILISATION
20-minute FTP assessment to establish sustainable threshold power and determine how effectively you utilise your available aerobic capacity.
TEST THREE - ENDURANCE DURABILITY
Steady-state endurance assessment examining efficiency and cardiovascular drift over prolonged cycling.
YOU WILL LEAVE KNOWING
• Which of the three systems is currently limiting you
• Whether you need more aerobic capacity, higher threshold utilisation or greater durability
• Your personalised power and heart-rate training zones
• How your results compare with your age group
• Where your strongest physiological qualities are
• What to prioritise in your next training block
• Recommended bike power and heart-rate guidance for Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 and Ironman racing
YOUR RESULTS EXPLAINED -
NOT JUST HANDED TO YOU
We don't simply give you test data. We interpret the relationship between your capacity, utilisation and durability and explain what that means for your training and racing.
WHO'S IT FOR?
✔ Triathletes targeting Sprint through IronMan
✔ Cyclists preparing for events
✔ Athletes who feel their cycling progress has plateaued
✔ Riders who know their FTP but don't know what is limiting them
✔ Athletes wanting a benchmark before a new training block.
You do not need to be an elite athlete. The testing and analysis are based on your current ability, goals and training background.
TRIATHLETES:
THE FASTEST BIKE SPLIT ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST BIKE PERFORMANCE
In triathlon, the objective isn't simply to produce the highest possible bike power. It's to ride quickly at a physiological cost you can sustain and still run well afterwards.
TEM helps us understand not only the power you can produce, but how efficiently and sustainably you can produce it. Your report therefore includes race-specific power and heart-rate guidance for Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 and Ironman.
