Coinciding with the launch of its new Edge 550 and 850 computers, Garmin has also introduced its latest Rally 110 and 210 power meters that offer  single- and dual-sensing power meters that can be easily swapped between road and off-road pedal bodies, as well as as from bike to bike, while the new Pedal IQ smart calibration alerts riders when the pedals should be recalibrated. In addition, a  rechargeable battery now offers up to 90 hours of ride time and quick-charging capabilities so cyclists can spend more time riding and less time charging. Meanwhile, Travel Mode conserves battery life by putting the pedals to sleep during transport.

“From paved paths to gravel roads to mountain trails, cyclists everywhere are training hard, and they need accurate data to help them reach their goals. The next-gen Rally 110 and 210 power meters offer that accurate and reliable data Garmin is known for, along with unbeatable versatility, durability, battery life and more advanced features than ever before,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing.

Top features cyclists will love

• Easy to transfer: Quickly swap the removable power sensors between road and off-road pedal bodies and between bikes with common tools.
• Rechargeable battery: No need to replace physical batteries – the pedals are rechargeable and give cyclists up to 90 hours of ride time between charges. And after a quick 15-minute charge, cyclists can gain up to 12 hours of ride time.
• Responsive and accurate: A completely redesigned sensing spindle makes the pedals even more responsive, capturing data within 1% accuracy. The power meters are also compatible with oval chain rings to measure data accurately on every ride.
• Updated design: The RS and RK road pedal bodies have an all-new, carbon polymer design, while the XC off-road pedals have an all-metal build for increased durability plus a lower stack height to allow riders more clearance from rocks and roots.
• Travel mode: Put the power meters to sleep and conserve battery during transport.
• Pedal IQ Smart Calibration: Riders will be notified when it’s time to recalibrate the pedals based on several factors, like temperature changes, time since the last calibration and whether the pedals have been swapped to a different bike.
• Force data: Get greater insights into ride performance and the relationship between power and cadence when paired with a compatible Garmin cycling computer or smartwatch.
