Garmin Vector PowerPedal (Pre-Order - Available April 2012)

(Pre-Order - Available April 2012)

Once you start using a power meter and seeing the benefits of power-based data, you quickly realize that you want power from every ride that you do - on every bike, from every event. The data becomes so valuable to you, that a ride without power is almost a ride that didn't happen. And so, most cyclists are suddenly wrestling - struggling - with how to get power on every one of their bikes and from every type of riding situation. Vector is the lightest weight direct measurement power meter on the market, and designed for quick installation, portability, and ease-of-use. Taking only minutes to install, Vector provides accurate and reliable power data and uniquely measures and presents right and left leg power balance to ANT+ compatible head units.

With integrated cadence measurement, there are no external sensors to install. Vector's easy-to-install design makes it easy to swap between bikes, and easy to take to out-of-town events when renting or borrowing a bike. Vector's light weight and durable injected carbon fibre pedals are LOOK Keo compatible, and its ANT+ wireless pedal pod transmitters fit most major cranksets. Vector has also been designed to be easy to update as software enhancements are made, thanks to its ANT+ wireless technology.
