"The product is Pedra's DRS (Drag Reduce System) and, according to the post, is currently a prototype. An electronic noise, similar to that of SRAM mechanical shifting, is heard, leading one to assume someone is hitting a button to activate the system."
"Pedra designed the Smart Plate DRS to operate in three different ways. First, a user can manually activate it via a remote on the handlebars. Pedra says this allows you to decide when to [activate the system]."
"However, Pedra's is definitely more high-tech. The following information is from a couple of blog posts the brand shared with me. And, my Spanish isn't as good as it used to be, so I had some help from the World Wide Web in translating them to English."
Pedra Components, a Spanish component manufacturer, created the DRS (Drag Reduce System), an innovative number plate that rotates 90 degrees to lie flat against the bike frame, reducing aerodynamic drag. The prototype features electronic actuation with an audible clicking sound similar to SRAM mechanical shifting. Unlike earlier manual alternatives like So Pro Cycling's Out Front Mount, Pedra's system operates automatically rather than requiring manual adjustment. The Smart Plate DRS offers multiple activation modes, including manual remote control via handlebars, allowing riders to optimize aerodynamics strategically during rides.
