That&#8217;s where the BrakeAce comes in, as it&#8217;s a power meter that&#8217;s designed to monitor your brake usage throughout each ride.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the place of a bike&#8217;s existing brake adapter (the bit that goes between the calliper and the frame or fork), the BrakeAce works with mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes, and is installed on both the front and rear brakes. Its inventor, Dr. Matt Miller, tells us that it&nbsp;<em>could<\/em>&nbsp;even be used on road bikes, if its software was adapted accordingly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recirculation\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>As the user rides, the two BrakeAces on their bike measure the modulation, intensity and duration of every braking event. That data is sent to an onboard data logger, and from there to an app on the rider&#8217;s smartphone, where it&#8217;s analyzed and recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, the user can review a map of their ride, on which all the braking events are shown. They also receive a &#8220;flow score&#8221; for that ride, along with advice on how to improve that score. For the most part, the idea is to hit the brakes quick and hard&nbsp;<em>before<\/em>&nbsp;going into turns or navigating tricky trail features, as opposed to continuously riding the brakes throughout the course of doing so.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newatlas.com\/bicycles\/brakeace-mountain-bike-brake-power-meter\/#gallery:2?itm_source=newatlas&amp;itm_medium=article-body\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newatlas.com\/dims4\/default\/a46d761\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/1596x897+0+0\/resize\/1440x809!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewatlas-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F8b%2F49%2Fd66380f04f7f84478316cc85bbb3%2Fjeff-lenosky-brakeace-screenshot.JPG\" alt=\"An example of a BrakeAce ride report\" width=\"703\" height=\"395\" data-src=\"https:\/\/assets.newatlas.com\/dims4\/default\/a46d761\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/1596x897+0+0\/resize\/1440x809!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewatlas-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F8b%2F49%2Fd66380f04f7f84478316cc85bbb3%2Fjeff-lenosky-brakeace-screenshot.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"Figure-content\">\n<div class=\"Figure-content\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\">An example of a BrakeAce ride report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Miller tells us that the current limited-production version of the Danish-made system sells for &#8220;a few thousand Euro,&#8221; but that the price should drop as the system is refined and production levels increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/news.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/news.com<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Ben Coxworth<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Ben Coxworth<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">The BrakeAce device replaces the bike&rsquo;s existing brake adapter BrakeAce If you&rsquo;re a mountain biker who wants to go&nbsp;fast&nbsp;yet maintain control, then you shouldn&rsquo;t overuse your brakes.
