The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range. | | | | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Pedaling index Pedaling index is the ratio between the minimum and maximum forces of a single pedaling cycle. A pedaling cycle begins when a magnet on the crank passes a relay on the circuit board and ends when the magnet passes the relay again. The resulting ratio is averaged from the most recent pedaling cycles. Pedaling index helps optimize pedaling technique by measuring the ‘roundness’ of force distribution, or how evenly the power is produced – the higher the pedaling index percentage, the better. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CS speed sensor features | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjustable recording rate – 1s, 2s, 5s, 15s, or 60s The samples of your heart rate, speed, cycling cadence, power and altitude are stored either in 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more detailed data. A shorter recording rate uses the memory of the training computer up more rapidly, but enables more accurate data analysis using Polar software. | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Autostart/stop By activating Autostart/autostop feature, the cycling computer starts and stops training recording automatically when you start or stop pedaling. | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Bike settings – for three bicycles You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cadence – current, average and maximum Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cadence-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on cadence. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will inform you with a visual and audible alarm. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cycling Efficiency Index Cycling efficiency is your energy expenditure converted into the power that propels the bike forward. Cycling efficiency measurement starts as soon as heart rate rises above 100 bpm and the training session has lasted for more than one minute. If the heart rate drops below 100 bpm during the session, the measurement of cycling efficiency value is stopped until your heart rate rises above 100 bpm again. Improvement in cycling efficiency indicates improved performance economy. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cycling Limits This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training. You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence, speed or power output. The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Left/right balance | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pedaling index Pedaling index is the ratio between the minimum and maximum forces of a single pedaling cycle. A pedaling cycle begins when a magnet on the crank passes a relay on the circuit board and ends when the magnet passes the relay again. The resulting ratio is averaged from the most recent pedaling cycles. Pedaling index helps optimize pedaling technique by measuring the ‘roundness’ of force distribution, or how evenly the power is produced – the higher the pedaling index percentage, the better. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Power – current, average and maximum | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Adjustable recording rate – 1s, 5s, 15s, 60s The samples of your heart rate, speed, cycling cadence, power and altitude are stored either in 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more detailed data. A shorter recording rate uses the memory of the training computer up more rapidly, but enables more accurate data analysis using Polar software. | | | | |||||||||||||||||||||
