Power increase in "out of the saddle" position
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2016 10:33 am
Hello,
I have the Ibike Newton power meter since 6 months and i'm very happy with it.
However, i have noticed a "strange" power readings behavior when i'm in the "out of the saddle" position. For the same speed and pace, the Newton displays 50 Watts higher in average than the sitting position.
I'm a climber, and i used to train in the mountains with long climbing sections. And so it's important for me to alternate the two positions.
Why the Watts are higher in "out of the saddle" position? It is normal or is there a logical explanation?
Thanks in advance.
