With its lightweight and accurate Vector pedals, Garmin has been at the forefront of the power meter market for road cyclists for ten years. Now the US company also wants to supply mountain bikers and off-road cyclists with power meters. To this end, Garmin is launching the Rally pedals now has a new product series of power meters. The slim pedals have been specially developed to meet the needs of cyclists who want to effectively increase and control their training with the help of power measurement.
Battery life of up to 120 hours
Compared to the Vector, the measuring unit inside the pedal axle has been further revised and developed to meet the tougher demands of off-road riding. The Garmin Rally watt measuring systems have a battery life of up to 120 hours and can be mounted like any other pedal. A CR1/3N or two LR44 batteries are used. For crossers and gravel riders, there is the Rally XC, which is compatible with SPD cleats. The power meters are available in two versions: the one-sided version measures both cadence and power on the left pedal. The two-sided version has measuring units in both pedals, allowing data to be collected independently for the right and left leg. The pedal body can be separated from the measuring axle and wear parts can be serviced.

Versatile in use
Based on the performance data and the Cycling Dynamics functions from Garmin, training with the Garmin Rally can be adapted to specific strengths and weaknesses in order to continuously improve your own riding performance. The Rally pedals also record the time the rider has spent sitting or standing and allow conclusions to be drawn about the effectiveness of the respective position.
The "power phase" is also determined, which indicates when the drive force begins and ends in the pedalling cycle. The power meter pedals can also be connected to Edge computers and the Garmin Connect app. The app can be used to upload data wirelessly and update the Rally software. The Rally power meter systems are easy to install. This makes it easy to quickly swap between different bikes.
