Velocomp/iBike is launching three new products at Eurobike this week, including GPS for its iBike Newton line of power meters, a TT/Tri bike specific mount and a new iBike Newton+ TT/Tri power meter.
iBike Newton Tracker
The new Newton Tracker is billed as the easiest way for Smart Phone owners (android or iPhone) to get GPS data from their rides. For cyclists who ride with a smart phone and want to incorporate GPS into their data analysis, Newton Tracker makes it easy to automatically add GPS data to their ride file.
Cyclists just ride with their smart phone and when the ride is over the dedicated app uploads GPS data to the ‘iBike cloud’. When downloading ride data in iBike Isaac software, the GPS data is pulled from the cloud and automatically added to the ride file.
Newton Tracker also makes it easy to share information with popular training software and social sites such as Strava. Newton Tracker includes both an app (android or iPhone), plus a firmware upgrade for iBike’s Newton, Newton+ and PowerStroke+ power meters.
iBike PowerStroke
This latest product enables cyclists to measure their pedalling style, cycling performance and body/bike movement. Billed as a ‘first ever’ product offering, PowerStroke technology quantifies wasted power, wasted time and wasted motion. It shows where to improve pedalling style, and quantifies improvements.
PowerStroke takes advantage of the high-speed data bus design of the iBike Newton line of power meters, and the accelerometer and pressure sensors used exclusively by the iBike Newton line. PowerStroke records data 16 times per second – ‘ten times faster than any power meter in the world.’
This recording rate is so fast that motion can be determined even as the cyclist turns the bike crank. PowerStroke data is processed on a Mac or PC, with the new iBike Isaac software version 2.0.
Isaac 2.0 reports power measurement and ride data, and adds PowerStroke measurements and analysis.
“PowerStroke changes the playing field, because it gives any cyclist a new way to train and improve performance, without spending thousands on bike parts,” said Glenn Schneider, Florida Masters State Champion, 2011 and 2012.
iBike Newton TT/Tri Mount
The new low profile, light-weight yet sturdy iBike TT/Tri Mount allows cyclists to ‘perfectly position their Newton+ power meter on their aero bars.’ This new addition to the company’s line of mounts enables cyclists with a TT/triathlon bike to take full advantage of both iBike’s bike-to-bike portability and its unique technological advantage which does not require specific wheels, hubs, cranks or pedals.
Further details on the new iBike Newton+ TT/Tri power meter will follow in the coming days…
iBike is exhibiting the full range of Newton power meters, GPS and GPS+ line of iPhone based bike computers and the new PowerStroke technology at Eurobike with its exclusive European licensee SKOPRE.
