Garmin officially introduces its new family of pedals for power measurement, for both cycling and mountain biking. The innovative Rally RK, Rally RS and Rally XC have been extensively tested, even in extreme conditions, and offer compatibility with Look Keo, Shimano SPD-SL and Shimano SPD bindings, for both on-road and off-road riding. Precise, reliable and easy to install, they have a new design that makes them performing and at the same time robust and resistant.
In the modern language of cyclists, professionals or amateurs, the meaning of "power" has been widely assimilated, so much so that today talking about watts is no longer a taboo. And among the main players who have contributed to the spread of this technical culture, there is certainly Garmin which today announces Rally , its new series of power sensors. In addition to the power values, the new pedals have been designed to measure cadence and to analyze all the advanced cycling dynamics, such as right / left leg balance, power phase and other data of interest to all cycling enthusiasts on road and mountain bike, up to the gravel world.
Highly technological and performing tools, therefore, which will accompany the athletes in their preparation, to obtain better and better results.
« We know that cyclists and bikers train to improve their performance every day, and for this reason we have designed and created not just one, but a real complete family of power sensors that they can rely on to achieve their goals. - comments Stefano Viganò , CEO of Garmin Italia - These pedals have undergone numerous tests and tests, taking their use to the limit, to ensure high levels of reliability in measuring power which, as we all know, is a reference value important in the preparation of every enthusiast, even in the amateur world ».
The project managers who developed the Rally family drew on a group of over 100 testers from various disciplines, who pedaled an overall mileage equal to five times around the Earth.
Three models for one passion
The Rally power sensors are available in three different versions, two for road cycling and one for off-road cycling. Each of them is available in two further types: one with double pedal detection (200) and one with single detection (100).
Designed with the sensor incorporated in the spindle, the models of the Rally series ensure precise and reliable measurement of the power data during any training or competition.
DOUBLED POWER . With the dual sensor pedals Rally RK200, Rally RS200 and Rally XC200 athletes can independently analyze the values expressed by the right and left leg, so as to intervene in case of discrepancies or substantial differences in the expression of power between the two limbs. With the ability to measure cadence, power, left / right leg balance and advanced cycling dynamics, they show how and where most power is produced, helping cyclists and bikers understand their strengths and strengths. of weakness, so as to be able to intervene in a targeted manner. Another analysis that the new Garmin pedals allow concerns the time spent pedaling seated and standing, thus showing the effectiveness of the two positions. Last, but certainly not least, the Rally sensors allow you to accurately measure in which point of the foot the most force is applied, and therefore power, so as to be able to suggest a better positioning of the shoe cleats.
INDOOR TRAINING . The recent success of training in indoor cycling has brought many cyclists closer to knowing their power value in a more or less precise way. Depending on the model used, smart trainers are able to provide this parameter to those who ride at home. Those who want to have a super precise evaluation data on their performance, can associate the power data of the Rally via Bluetooth ® or ANT + protocol to interactive eTraining programs such as Tacx Training app or others from third parties.
SINGLE DETECTION POWER . Garmin offers a power sensing approach solution with the single sensor models Rally RK100, Rally RS100 and Rally XC100 , which read only instantaneous, average, maximum power and cadence. If the user subsequently decides to switch to a dual sensor system, because he wants to expand the critical knowledge of his way of pedaling in a surgical manner, he can do so by purchasing a second pedal with integrated wattage detector; as a result, a world of new metrics dedicated to him will open up.
A COMPLETE NETWORK . With the new Rally series, Garmin provides users with a real network of tools to monitor their performance on the pedals. The new power sensors can in fact be associated with the Edge line cycle computers (where compatible) and with the Garmin Connect ™ app, through which it is possible to download all the recorded data, analyze them and compare them with each other, to plan your workouts even more accurate and efficient. They can interface with the most popular indoor training platforms, such as the Tacx Training app, or those of Zwift and TrainerRoad.
EASE OF INSTALLATION AND EXTENDED DURATION . The Rally power sensors mount like any other pedal, and can therefore be moved quickly from one bike to another. A particular novelty concerns their portability: to allow those who are divided between on-road and off-road training, Garmin has designed a spindle for Rally that makes them easily transferable to different pedal bodies. In this case the user will have to purchase the appropriate kit separately.
The new Rally power sensors feature a replaceable battery with up to 120 hours of life, ensuring extended use before it needs to be replaced.
Available right now in the best stores, the new Garmin Rally power sensors have a recommended retail price that varies depending on the type of model.
