What the critic wrote

STRAKE is a well-finished conversion site for a fictional wind tunnel in Manchester. Every image is a live smoke simulation. That turns fabrica's grey smoke texture into proof of the product, and the three-positions scrub (the CdA and watts readouts drop as the rider's wake shrinks) is a real signature moment.
