Smaller. lighter, and with substantially expanded functions the new computer of the Ergomo® Pro power meter system is really something. It has been recognized in the cycling world for having the best display and usability, far surpassing it's competitors.

The larger display shows up to eight measurements simultaneously, and you can select between different menus: for example, current values, all average and maximum values, training intervals, and training time. The computer can store complete training data up to 240 hours, with multiple recording rate choices.

The data is transferred from the bottom bracket sensor via cable to the handlebar mounted computer. To transmit the heart rate, it is possible to use an encoded chest belt sensor to avoid interference. A special feature of the Ergomo® Pro power meter is an integrated altimeter, which facilitates even more precise performance analysis relative to the route traveled.

Current Values

• Current power in watts - or watt/kg
• Current heart rate
• Current pedaling cadence (rpm)
• Current speed (km/h or mph)
• Travel time (h : min : sec)

When two people do the same thing, it's not the same. Two cyclists riding along a country road at 50 km/h can do it with very different pedaling power - depending on body size, bicycle, aerodynamics, and power transmission. To coordinate all these factors optimally, it is decisively important to measure, record, and analyze power output continuously (in watts).

Combined with other values (such as heart rate, pedaling, cadence, and speed), you can thus determine your current performance. Then you can use the computer analysis of the recorded data after your ride to track your fitness changes and better determine your strengths and weaknesses.

What is the training stress score?

TSS, IF and NP are measurements of your Training Stress and Intensity. They were developed by the leading American training exercise physiologist Dr. Andrew Coggan. The Training Stress Score (TSS) measures your stress load during the ride - in relatation to your Lactate Threshold power. This will help you understand how much "Training Stress" you can handle on each ride and over time. It is also important to measure the intensity of your effort. "Intensity Factor" (IF) was developed to help athletes understand how intense to train. Finally, "Normalized Power" (NP) is the wattage that you would be producing if you would be pedaling steady and applying power smoothly. Cycling is a highly "variable" sport, so many times your Average and / or Actual Power does not always tell you the whole story.

Interval - Training

A unique feature of the Ergomo Pro: you can simultaneously view the current and the average watts for each interval on the display.

That makes it child's play to compare the average watts of the interval with the current performance and thus achieve optimal training results.

You can just as easily mark any interval in your training trip for later analysis.
