15. VERTICAL SPEED EXPLAINED
(Wintech USB Alti and Wintech USB Ultimate only)
The Vertical Speed (VS) function available on Screen 2 gives you the opportunity
to measure your performance on any ascension of a pass, or a steep climb.
It expresses the vertical elevation achieved in one hour (in feet or meter); and
depends on the cyclist speed and the slope of the climb. For your information, a
professional cyclist extremely well prepared will be able to reach vertical speed
values around 5900 ft/h / 1800 m/h.
Your Wintech computer will provide you with an always positive vertical speed
value, when climbing or going downhill. The display is limited at 2500 m/h or 8202,5 ft/h.
