Single-sensing pedal-based power meter

If you want to train to get to the next level, power meters are amongst the best tools to use. The Garmin Vector S pedal offers left-only power readings by connecting with your ANT+ computer. You can upgrade the Vector S by buying the right side pedal further down the road to get power readings from both legs. It’s a very powerful tool to improve your performance, and can be used by a cyclist of any level.
Power is the most reliable way to gauge cycling performance on any given day, at any given time. Vector revolutionizes how power is measured and how cyclists get that power data. Unlike other power meters, Vector measures power at the pedal, where force is applied. It’s a direct-measurement power meter that delivers reliable, accurate data.
Factors like fatigue, fitness, injury and recovery all affect the way you ride. Revolutionary new cycling dynamics lets you tailor your training around your specific weaknesses and strengths by showing you exactly where you’re generating power throughout the pedal stroke. It also indicates where force is being applied on the pedal itself so you can ensure proper cleat position, as well as when and how long you were seated versus standing so you can gauge position effectiveness.
While typical power meters can be a little complex to install to some people, the Garmin Vector pedals are as easy to install as regular pedals, meaning it only takes a few minutes. There’s no need for a mechanic, or no downtime while your bike is in the shop. There are no complex drivetrain or wheel tradeoffs, or no external sensors to install. That means you can even swap it between bikes quickly if you desire.
Whether you’re a triathlete, a racer or just a weekend warrior, a power meter is the most effective way to monitor your training and to improve.
