The Garmin Rally power meter pedal system is the world’s first power meter pedal with native Shimano SPD-SL cleat compatibility. With Shimano SPD options available too, mountain bikers and gravel cyclists can now measure their power output using Garmin's system.
Available as either single or dual-sided, with three different types of pedal body – each compatible with either Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo or Shimano SPD (off-road) cleats – the Rally is more of a power meter ecosystem than Garmin’s outgoing Vector 3 power meter pedal system.
With the Rally ‘ecosystem’, Garmin clearly has its sights set on the gravel and mountain bike markets, as well as the road bike market.
Garmin is also making the individual pedal bodies themselves available to purchase separately as kits (dubbed ‘Rally conversion kits’), so that a road pedal body can, for example, be swapped to enable compatibility with off-road cleats and gravel or mountain bike shoes.
Promising power data accurate to +/- 1 per cent and 120 hours of battery life, the Rally pedals maintain the slick form factor of the Vector pedals, with all of the power meter internals and battery being housed within the pedal spindle.
Simon Bromley, Bikeradar’s Technical Editor, talks us through the pedals and how they compare to other power meter pedals and cranks across the market.
What do you think? Are power meter pedals better than power meter cranks? Let us know in the comments!
