We carry Velocomp handlebar power meters, as they are the only company that makes them.

DCRR

The PowerPod now has a feature specific for offroad use called Dynamic Coefficient of Rolling Resistance (DCRR). DCRR measures surface vibration 800 times per second and converts these measurements into rolling resistance corrections. This helps keep the power meter accurate on uneven road and trail conditions which are often encountered in offroad use.
