This new power meter arrives as the most precise in the world

Body Rocket is a British firm that months ago surprised with its aerodynamic measurement system, designed for triathletes and cyclists to reduce their wind resistance with real-world measurements, beyond the usual tests on the velodrome that, obviously, do not take into account many variables that the cyclist encounters on the road. Now, Body Rocket goes one step further by completing its system with pedals with a power meter that boast of being the most accurate ones manufactured.

Body Rocket completes its cyclist monitoring system with pedals with a power meter

The most accurate power meter pedals in the world. With this strong statement, Body Rocket presents its new power meter that completes the so-called Body Rocket System, a set consisting of an aerodynamic sensor that is placed on the saddle and handlebars to measure the cyclist's aerodynamic coefficient, a wind speed and direction sensor, and now, pedals with power measurement.

This way, long-distance triathletes and time trialists can have all the necessary information to improve on a bike. In fact, the complete system is designed to be compatible with a series of bikes, all of them time trial models, both road and triathlon.

But let's focus on the latest addition, the power meter pedals that, obviously, are compatible with any bicycle. Pedals that use the Shimano SPD-SL cleat standard and boast a precision of 0.1%, the highest precision on the market. In fact, most power meters declare a precision of around 1.5%.

These data have been corroborated by tests carried out by the Silverstone Engineering Hub laboratory, which has actually incorporated Body Rocket's power measurement system into its measurement equipment after verifying the reliability of the data provided by it.

In addition, Body Rocket's power meter pedals have a fairly low weight, 185 grams per pedal. As is logical in pedals of this level, they have dual measurement on both sides and ANT+ connectivity compatible with most cycle computers on the market.

Obviously, this level of technology comes at a price and, although nowadays we can find very economical power meters, this is not the case with Body Rocket's pedals, which have a price of 1,500 pounds, approximately 1,800 euros, and although they can already be purchased on the brand's website, they will not be available until next June.
