SPECIAL FEATURE #6: “POWERSTROKE DATA RECORDING”
PowerStroke
TM
is a optional feature. PowerStroke data provides cyclists the ability to
understand their dynamic motion on the bike, helping to minimize the amount of
watts/time/motion wasted because of pedal stroke style.
PowerStroke is an optional upgrade key that can be purchased for any iBike Newton or
. The Newton Powe comes with PowerStroke feature pre-installed.
The PowerStroke key enables very high data recording rates in the Newton—16 data
records per second, vs. 1 data record per second without PowerStroke.
PowerStroke data is analyzed in Isaac software to provide Wasted Motion, Wasted Time,
and Wasted Power measurements. See the Isaac Software Instructions for more details.
