Advance bookings for test session reservations require a non-refundable down payment deposit of $150 for individuals (and $1000 for the entire 8 hr day rate) to be made via Paypal to paypal@speedmerchantaero.com or by Credit Card (no Paypal account necessary) via Secure Transaction (encrypted). The booking and deposit will need to be made no later than a month in advance of the planned test date before it can be scheduled. If this is an issue for some reason, please just call the numbers above and we'll do our best to make it work for you.
All non-refundable deposits will be held by SMART until the test session is conducted, and SMART will do all it can to possibly reschedule either earlier or later based on both the needs of the client and the availability of test sessions at the tunnel. The deposits will be held for any test session for six months after the initial date of the original booking and deposit so as to give the client plenty of time to reschedule. The deposit will only be forfeited if the client does not reschedule and hold the test session in that time frame.

Wind Tunnel Hourly Rate Table
with Physio Testing Services plus Package Discounts
WIND TUNNEL TESTING HOURLY AND DAILY RATES
Rate info set at $400 per hour for the first hour per client.
The second hour after the first for the same client will be $350, with each subsequent hour booked consecutively set lower still - please see details in the table below.
For $2500, the SMART Wind Tunnel can be reserved for a calendar day (meaning 8 consecutive hours of test time on a single calendar day on which we will not book any other clients) for either Cycling Teams/Clubs, any organized group, for Equipment Manufacturers, or any other company or group doing product testing/development. We also extend the consecutive hour rates and daily rates for any group like a number of clients from a single Coaching Service or Shop, even if on different teams or clubs but organized by the same primary contact like a Coach or Shop Owner.
Please see below the Hourly Rate Table with Discounts and Totals for booking of consecutive hours in the same calendar day:

The SMART "Continuous Improvement Plan" Pricing:
Any Individual Speed Merchant Aero client (meaning one person) paying full price for a test session can return another day within 18 months for any number of test sessions at just $300 per hour. Any return test session will "reset the clock" and give the client another opportunity to return any time within 18 months at that same reduced rate.
This unique pricing opportunity is being added to allow persons to return for fine tuning of both position and physiological capacities as well as to try out new equipment either that same year or at any time within the next year and a half. This is literally making Wind Tunnel Testing affordable and return trips and test sessions for Continuous Improvement viable for all of us. SMART will remove the idea that a wind tunnel test session is a once-in-a-lifetime experience unless you are a sponsored pro.
