Operating the Rally XC100

Power and Cadence Tracking

The Rally XC100 is a single-sensing power meter, measuring power and cadence from the left pedal. It doubles this value to provide an estimate of your total power output. This data is transmitted wirelessly to your paired Garmin device or other compatible head units, allowing you to monitor your performance in real-time and analyze it post-ride.

Upgradeable to Dual-Sensing

For advanced metrics such as left/right balance and power phase, the Rally XC100 can be upgraded to a dual-sensing system. Upgrade kits are sold separately and allow you to convert your single-sensing pedal into a full dual-sensing system for more comprehensive data analysis.
