Cadence Pedals

Cadence is the number of pedal revolutions a cyclist makes per minute or RPM. Targeting your cadence is one way to improve your overall cycling performance. Is there a perfect cadence to target? No, probably not, because every cyclist is different—we all go cycling for different purposes. In relation to road cycling the rule-of-thumb cadence a few decades ago was around 60 RPM. Once Lance Armstrong began dominating the Tour de France, high-cadence or 90 RPM gained wide acceptance as both more efficient and for burning more fat. You keep cadence constant through selecting the gear appropriate to how steep the incline is. So the more cogs you have, the easier this is of course. Recent research, however, suggests that a high cadence may not efficient, especially if you are in a low gear. Regardless of which school of thought you follow, the Pedotec range will get you measuring your cycling cadence accurately and reliably. 

We have cadence pedals for both road and mountain bike cyclists. The Formula RP-P1 is designed around Look’s Keo system, with a thermoplastic injection body, a CNC-machined chromoly axle and an LSL bushing, sealed bearing.  The binding is dual-sided, tension adjustable glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic. The LR44 battery powering the cadence function is long-lasting and widely available anywhere batteries are sold. 

The Formula RP-M2CS is the first in the MTB range.  It has a die-cast 6061 CNC-machined aluminum body, a CNC-machined chromoly axle and an LSL bushing with sealed bearings.  The binding is formed from strong and light chromoly, dual-sided and tension adjustable. It also has four replaceable grip pins.  An LR44 battery powers the cadence function. Reflectors are included. The Formula RP-M2C has a die-cast 6061 CNC-machined aluminum body, a CNC-machined chromoly axle and an LSL bushing with sealed bearings.. It has 10 grip pins on each side. The Formula RP-M1 has a die-cast aluminum body, a CNC-machined chromoly axle and an LSL bushing with sealed bearings.  The binding is formed from strong and light chromoly, dual-sided and tension adjustable. It also has four replaceable grip pins.  An LR44 battery powers the cadence function as with all the models. Reflectors are included. The Formula RP-M3 has a die-cast aluminum body, a CNC-machined chromoly axle and an LSL bushing with sealed bearing.  There is a binding on one side—the PT-CO1F cleat fits this. On the other side there are 10 replaceable pins. A LR44 battery powers the cadence function. Reflectors are included.
