Load  

Additional load is 130kg (286 lb), equivalent to about 20 degrees of climbing or headwind of grade 4~5. Why choose this weight? Because sometimes it takes adversity to better discern whether a horse is good or not.

Tire pressure

Tire pressure will affect acceleration so we need to maintain the tire pressure of 28 psi for all testings to avoid any error due to tire pressure variation.
