What Are Cycling Dynamics?

Cycling dynamics are metrics and visual displays based upon data recorded by compatible dual sensing power meter pedals. This data is then transmitted and displayed on compatible Garmin Fitness and Outdoor devices. Cycling dynamic data can also be analyzed in your Garmin Connect™ account by uploading and viewing the details of the activity.

Cycling Dynamics Include:

Cycling Dynamics Requirements

In order to record cycling dynamics data during your ride, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You own a dual-sensing Rally, Vector 3, or a compatible third party power meter set.

    • Rally™ RK200, Rally™ RS200, or Rally™ XC200.

    • Vector™ 3 (Vector 3S is not a dual-sensing power meter pedal).

    • Check with the manufacturer to see if a third party power meter is compatible with Cycling Dynamics. 

  • Your pedals are paired to your head unit or watch via the ANT+ channel.

    • Cycling dynamics data will not transmit via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

    • To check, view Sensors > Power Meter > Connection Type.

    • If you have the option, simply select ANT+ and the channel will switch from BLE to ANT+.
