Power sensors

How to choose a power sensor for its bike or mountain bike?

The choice of a bike power sensor is important for cyclists, whether for exploration trips or cycling adventures. Here are some points to consider when choosing a power sensor:

• Compatibility with your bike : make sure that the sensor is compatible with the type of bike you plan to use on trip. Some sensors are specific to road bikes, while others are suitable for mountain bikes. Choose according to your itinerary.

• Type of sensor : there are several types of power sensors, such as those installed on the spider or pedals. The choice depends on your personal preference and ease of installation. Pedal power sensors are often more convenient for trips, as they can be transferred between different bikes.

• Connectivity and compatibility : check if the sensor is compatible with your devices, such as your bike counter or smartphone. Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity is essential to synchronize your data and track your travel performance.

• Battery autonomy : on travel it can be difficult to charge the battery frequently. Opt for a sensor with a long battery range to avoid inconvenience.

• Reliableness and accuracy : choose a reliable and accurate power sensor to get consistent measurements of your performance, which is essential to assess your progress and plan your itineraries.

• Portability : if you plan to travel with your power sensor, make sure it is easy to disassemble and carry, and it does not add excessive weight to your bike.

With a power sensor you can improve your cycling experiences by measuring and optimizing your performance, pedaling on unknown roads or exploring new horizons.
