Velocomp LLC, maker of the iBike Newton line of power meters, announced today that Team Columbia, one of the top pro cycling teams in the world, has chosen the iBike Newton as its power meter for the 2014 racing season.
Claudio Corti, General Manager of Team Columbia, said: “We thoroughly tested the iBike Newton, using it in many training and racing environments, and comparing it to traditional power meters. We were very impressed by the Newton’s outstanding performance, accuracy, ease of moving from bike to bike, compact size, and reliability. We are excited to be training and racing with the iBike Newton in 2014.”
The iBike Newton is the perfect choice to give Team Columbia the power information they need, and obtain critical rider and cycling insights. According to John Hamann, CEO of Velocomp, “iBike Newton sensors measure cyclist effort as often as 800 times per second, and the iBike Newton PowerStroke records ride data 16 times per second, 4 times faster than any other power meter in the world. The iBike Newton’s fast data recording and patented sensor system reveal insights such as cyclist left-right pedal stroke efficiency, and race-day drafting tactics. Other power meter systems, no matter how expensive, simply cannot provide this quality of information.”
iBike’s revolutionary products measure the forces that oppose the cyclist while pedaling, overcoming the inherent cost, technology, and data rate limitations of electromechanical power measurement systems.
