Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, almost all the Taiwan Triathlon and International Cyclist Races had been suspended, and the cyclists were facing the depression. At this time, the self-created brand AROFLY, with 40 years of experience in the sporting good’s industry in Taiwan and with persistent ideas, announced to sign the contract to sponsor Chia-Chia Chang, Ting-Ting Chang, and Chia-hao Chang of Chang Family Triathlon Team as well as Yayu Tsai of Nanpao Cycling Team today. In the future, in addition to assisting athletes in training and providing training programs, they will also actively participate in bicycle-related activities. All cyclists who got sponsored felt excited.

“This is a timely help!” said Sheng-Kai Chang. He is the father and the coach of Chang Family Triathlon Team, who had just sent the “Triathlon grandfather”, who suffered stroke and dementia to Wuling the day before. “This year, because of the epidemic situation, Chia-Chia, Ting-Ting, and Chia-hao were almost starved due to depression. Therefore, with AROFLY’s sponsorship, they will become more confident. As long as there are competitions abroad at any time, we will set off for the race. We hope that we can introduce Taiwan’s high-quality cycling products abroad with the good performance of Chia-Chia, Ting-Ting, and Chia-hao.”

Wen-Jin Kuo, the coach of the Nanpao Cycling Team, also said: “Yayu originally planned to become a member of High Ambition Women’s Cycling Academy in Japan and participate in the Asian Mountain Bike Championship this year, but all races were interrupted due to the impact of the epidemic. For the sake of Yayu’s health, we would like to wait until there are vaccines invented before she can go abroad to compete.” However, Yayu Tsai has not been idle this year. “I started to lose weight this year to enhance the ability to go uphill,” she said. “I’ve reduced my weight from 63 kg to 59 kg. Have you felt that I got thinner?”

AROFLY, a brand created by Taiwan manufacturer TBS Group Corporation, has launched “the world’s smallest power meter” and “the training program with the least burden” this year to help more athletes and coaches to convert riding data into scientific training. In this way, coaches and players can achieve excellent results in moderate deployment in high-intensity competitions at home and abroad. Coach Wen-Jin Kuo said, “For professional athletes, the power meter is necessary. Data can be seen from the power device, including how much strength the players can put forth, how long they can put forth their strength, or how much training they usually have. Yayu has carried AROFLY to test them in the competition, and the accuracy is very high.”

George Wood, President of TBS Group Corporation, said that they hope the riding data detected by AROFLY power meter will be used for regular training course arrangement by these two groups of athletes during general training. After improving their abilities in this way, they can get favorable results in high-intensity competitions. With the training data of the players, it also allows the AROFLY power meter to optimize multiple updates to make the data more accurate.

AROFLY will continue to cooperate with the regional school cycling team. It will not only provide the opportunities for a few people, instead, it will help every person who loves cycling, making the power meter training no longer out of reach. Let made-in-Taiwan AROFLY enable more cycling competition talents to win honor for Taiwan with power meter training and scientific data. (Reported by James Chan / Taipei)
