100% Torque Effectiveness with the Vector

It is possible to achieve a Torque Effectiveness [TE] value of 100% for both the left and right side of your stroke.

If you achieve 100%, it means that during that crank revolution you did not accumulate any negative power measurements. You were able to either fully unload the pedal on the backstroke, or you were able to produce a positive driving torque for the complete revolution.

Though it is quite achievable to hit 100% for periods during a ride, we are not providing specific guidance at this time on how this metric should be used to modify your riding or training behavior. We are enabling the collection of this metric with Vector and compatible Edge devices in order to allow athletes, coaches, and sports scientists to assess performance and potentially develop training programs.

Based upon our testing, TE values typically fall in the 60%-100% range.
