“Performance” was developed by Ethan R Nadel(click) , and designed specifically for the elite athletes participating in the daedalus project.

Daedalus:     Re-creation of the mythical flight of Daedalus from Crete to a nearby island.

Goal:              The longest human powered flight in history;   completed on 4/23/1988.   Their record still stands.

Athletes:       Frank Scioscia, Greg Zack, Erik Schmidt, Kanellos Kanellopoulos, Glenn Tremml were chosen for the project.

Task:              Pedal at 70% of maximum output for 4 to 6 hours with no rest.  NO PAUSE!    NO BRIEF RESPITE!

Result:           A new product was created to solve all the problems associated with prolonged exertion.

One & Only:           Performance is the only product designed specifically for the elite athlete.
