Brake testing
When Pinkbike, Vital MTB and ENDURO tested brakes head to head, they measured them with BrakeAce sensors.

Racing
Find lap time in your braking
Wireless brake sensors on your bike. Every run mapped and comparable — so you know where time is going, not just where it felt slow.

Proof
Brake testing, product development and World Cup racing
Product development
R&D engineers at Specialized, SRAM, Fox, TRP, Shimano and other brands use BrakeAce sensors to develop and test their products.
World-class racing
11th → 4th in the 2026 World Cup overall.
“We compare run by run, how I brake, where I brake and how much I brake.”
What you get
Four things to use every race weekend
Compare runs
Put two runs of the same track together. See where you braked earlier, longer or harder, and which run carried more speed.
Find the improvement
After every run, Key Opportunities point to the braking zones worth working on, right on the trail map.
Sync your video
Add your action camera footage and it lines up with your braking. Cameras that record GPS, like GoPro, sync automatically; others can be aligned by hand. Included for every rider.
Your own sections
Mark sections on the track once, like the rock garden or the last three turns, and compare each one across runs.
Race weekend
Record. Review. Change one thing. Compare.
How a race weekend works with BrakeAce, from the first practice run to the last.
Step 01
Record every run
Start a recording on your phone (iOS or Android) or on your Garmin (beta) or Hammerhead Karoo (beta), and ride. Run your action camera as usual.
Step 02
Review the run
Open the run on the web dashboard: braking graph, trail map and video on one timeline. Scrub to any corner and see what your brakes were doing.
Step 03
Start with the Key Opportunities
BrakeAce highlights the braking zones with the most to gain, so you start there instead of guessing. Drag across this real race run to try it.

Ranked like the app: by FlowScore, how much of your speed each braking zone takes away.
Drag across the graph to scrub the run, or jump to the biggest braking zones.
Step 04
Compare with the last run
Line the new run up with the last one and see whether the change you tried actually worked.
Summary
The two runs, braking zone by braking zone.
Side by side
Both videos with linked playback on one master timeline, with start and finish markers.
Event Analysis
Your own track sections, compared run by run.
Step 05
Pick one or two changes
Agree what to try on the next run. Send a share link to your coach or mechanic: they open the same run and can leave comments on it.
Video sync
Your braking on your footage
Every rider can sync action camera video to a run. Watch both together in the ride view, line two runs up side by side, or export a clip with speed, front and rear braking and the track map drawn on top.
Power tools
For serious prep
Event Analysis
Define your own sections on a track and compare each one run by run. Save the set and reuse it on every visit.
Video export with overlay
Render a clip of your run with the braking data on top, ready to share with your team.
Compare report (PDF)
Turn a comparison into a report you can send to your coach, mechanic or team.
CSV, GPX and FIT export
Take your runs into your own tools: export the braking data from every run and work with it the way you want.
Ride groups
Keep every run of a race weekend or test day together.
Run Optimizer (beta)
Estimates the potential time you could save in the braking zones of a run. It is a potential to work towards, not a promise.
AI Insights (beta)
A written read of your run that points to what to work on next.
Race prep
Bring data to your next race weekend
Mount the brake sensors, record your runs and compare the ones that matter.
