Power measure for the rest of us. The Saris Cyclops Powercal Power Meter allows for an accurate estimate of power using your power/heart rate relationship.
PowerCal displays power on any existing ANT+ compatible power computer display or watch. Just calibrate PowerCal to your individual power-HR relationship, pair it to your favorite ANT+ compatible display, and off you go!
Since PowerCal is calibrated to you individually, you get a better measure of your caloric expenditure – which is crucial information – whetheryou’re trying to stay on top of your nutrition during a long bike ride or simply trying to shed a few pounds.
Though it’s not as precise as our PowerTap, it’s a great tool, nicely encapsulated within a heart rate monitor strap, which you can own for the cost of about one-month’s groceries. Not to mention, PowerCal can also be used for running or other activities, allowing you to use the same units of measure across a variety of disciplines or cross-training activities.
