How does PowerPod do all this? PowerPod's unique, patented, accurate suite of digital sensors provides measurements no other power meter can: WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING.

DC Rainmaker: 'Overall, I’ve found that the PowerPod can be solidly accurate in most situations, assuming you are aware of the limitations – or aware of changes to configuration that could impact it. Further, it’s ability to seemingly ‘heal’ itself does act as a bit of a safety net should the aerodynamic profile change significantly enough to otherwise impact power readers. I’d sum it up as: If you do a clean calibration ride – things are impressively accurate across a wide range of riding environments and positions.' . The Chain Link: '.So what’s the verdict on this thing? Is it possible to get good power data for less than half the cost of the next thing on the market? The PowerPod proved to be a consistent (and surprisingly durable) performer in a variety of conditions, some of which it was never intended for.'

. The 5k runner: '.considerably cheaper than a direct force power meter and easily swappable between bikes.Perfect for the beginner and multi-bike owner.

Perfect for the expert too. You can work out how to tweak your riding position if you think about it. SLO cyclist: 'Upsides: Seriously inexpensive in comparison to other power meters, and easy to swap between bikes–especially if you’ve got two mounts. Power readings are consistent from ride to ride as long as you properly calibrate the unit with a warm-up ride.

The Isaac software complements the PowerPod and gives you a ridiculous amount of analysis opportunities.' . The Happy athlete: “5. for Price, Performance, Ease of use and Effectiveness! The PowerPod is an excellent, affordable, accurate power meter that is simple to install and use and is one of my Top products for 2016. BikeWorldNews: 'Velocomp PowerPod: Power data on a budget' '.There are a lot of benefits to this kind of a power meter.

There is no complicated installation, just install the mount and install the PowerPod onto the mount. All of that took maybe 5 minutes. Once that’s done, you can swap it from bike to bike. The PowerPod detects what speed sensor you are using, and if it is not the last one used, will automatically calibrate in the first minute or two. '.

Flatslowtriathlete: “I played around with cadence, mashing, spinning to see how it effected and they all seemed to correspond. I was much worse than even I thought I was After I got home I decided to compare to the power I could generate on Zwift The result? Almost exactly the same amount of average and normalized power over the same course. I’ll count that as accurate.”.

BikeWorldNews.com ' What it measures: Above and beyond power, the PowerPod. Measures the motion of the bike and can provide efficiency metrics for. aerodynamic and drag. It can go as far as showing you data on how braking and handling affected your efficiency.

Real world usage: The expanded data can be useful in reviewing. Much efficiency is lost. You can use it to tweak your bike fit to see changes affect your efficiency. The CdA (drag) numbers can help show you real world aerodynamics information that was previously only found in the wind tunnel. Who can benefit: Any cyclist or triathlete looking to improve their efficiency.' .

Best of life magazine 'I’m a 47-year-old IT manager. I spend my days in meetings and over two hours a day in the car commuting. I hadn’t seriously ridden any significant mileage in over two years.

Prior to the PowerPod, I didn’t know a lot about power, wattage, or other similar data points. I snuck in 6 rides with the PowerPod. After each one. I made changes to my riding style, some based on this data, others based on getting back into a groove. Of note here is a 2 mile per hour increase in my average speed. I felt more powerful. My legs are back and my lungs are nearly back.I am very pleased with the PowerPod.

It offers me insights into my rides I didn’t have before. I’m learning more with each ride, and I find myself competing against the little black device secured to my handlebars. Will it know I coasted here? Did it see me take a break? Could I work harder?. Roadbikerider.com '.

Truly Powerful! With the PowerPod priced at $299, the others must reduce their prices by at least another 50% more to even get close.a single-leg DFPM can be way off from actual total power.

The way PowerPod’s algorithms work make it much closer to what a dual-leg power meter would indicate”. Biketestreviews 'PowerPod is simple to use and would be a bargain at even twice the price. Highly recommended - A true 5/5 star rating!' .

VeloUk: 'It’s all the craze these days – watts. But getting them on the screen. Can be an expensive business.if you could see how many watts you were producing across all your bikes and for less than £300, would that be tempting? PowerPod is an electronic piece of wizardry that attaches to your hand lebars. And takes its data and displays it in your Garmin or other ANT+ bike computer. Powerpod can also be used in conjunction with a long list of turbo trainers and rollers. Is it accurate? – DC Rainmaker thinks so'.

Pedalnorth.com: 'As a non-pro cyclist who is performance-driven but also has to pay the bills. I could only dream of training to power. I knew the benefit of it, I never considered. A power meter due to the hefty price tag they come at. Colleague told me about PowerPod and I thought that could be a good option for me.I did a training camp in Mallorca, and it was my first time properly testing the pod.

Next to people with other power meters. I was really happy to see the accuracy of it against other more expensive power meters.I feel that I benefitted a lot from having PowerPod, my training was more specific and I was much more aware of my limits power-wise. I would highly recommend investing in it, if you plan to take your training to another level.
