How Power Meters Work
Power meters measure the actual work you are doing. By measuring the force applied to the pedals and the speed at which you are turning them, you’ll have precise and comparable data for every second of every workout.
Supported Power Meters
As long as your power meter can communicate with TrainerRoad via Bluetooth Smart or ANT+, you’ll be able to use it for structured, power-based workouts.
Recommended Power Meters
For consistent data indoors and out, you can use your bike’s power meter to control your smart trainer with PowerMatch 2.0, exclusively from TrainerRoad. The updated algorithm is more accurate and responsive than ever.
