Power in watts

The new power formula from SIGMA

The new power formula
The new power formula from SIGMA calculates the cyclist’s power in the number of watts required to move the bike rather than the power asserted on the pedals. The watts are calculated using: Bike type and position, bike and rider weight, rider height, shoulder width, speed, incline and cadence.

Power calculation
The power calculation can be affected by external forces such as the ground conditions or wind. These factors are reduced during mountain ascents and considered in the calculation. A power value is only displayed when pedaling.
