Tudor Pro Cycling has a new partnership with Hytro, naming it the team’s official BFR supplier. Hytro is known for producing wearable blood flow restriction (BFR) accessories.
Tudor Pro Cycling is a Swiss professional cycling team based in Sursee, Switzerland, launched in 2022 by double Olympic Champion Fabian Cancellara.
As part of the collaboration, Tudor Pro Cycling athletes recently used Hytro’s patented BFR wearables in their recovery protocols during a two-week training camp this summer.
This research project explored how wearable BFR could support recovery and enhance performance.
The study was conducted in collaboration with Tudor’s coaching and performance staff, including James Spragg, Coach at Tudor Pro Cycling. It investigated whether adding Hytro to existing recovery strategies delivered measurable improvements in recovery speed, performance output, and subjective markers such as readiness, across a week-long block of high-intensity training.
Hytro’s BFR technology is already used by over 300 elite teams worldwide, in sports such as football, rugby, NFL, NBA, Formula 1, athletics, and cycling. The company notes that its wearables are also being tested by NASA and SpaceX as part of research into maintaining muscle and bone health in zero gravity.
Dr Warren Bradley, Founder and Head of Elite Performance at Hytro, said “I’m incredibly excited about our partnership with Tudor Pro Cycling in such a massive, international sport.
“Cycling is relentless, and at the elite level, victory is decided by the smallest of margins. That’s where Hytro thrives, delivering efficiencies and marginal gains where they matter most. By helping riders push harder, recover faster, and unlock performance improvements, Hytro can be the difference between the podium and the pack.
“Working with Tudor Pro Cycling on cutting-edge research has allowed us to scientifically validate these benefits and show how Hytro provides that crucial extra edge.”
Tom Brownlee, Chief Scientific Officer at Hytro, added “Getting to work with such competent coaches and scientists as we planned this project with has been a fantastic experience.
“It’s allowed us to ensure that we’re conducting a robust study, to better understand how our products perform under the toughest scrutiny. The fact that we’ve been able to do this with a top-tier cycling team makes it all the more exciting.”
Hytro notes that its patented BFR wearables are designed to offer the benefits of blood flow restriction training to athletes in a simple, safe, and effective way. The company states that its garments have been extensively tested by sports scientists and enable athletes and coaches to prepare, train, and recover to the highest standards.
