power2max Type S – the power meter of Movistar Team
All riders from the best cycling team in the world in 2013 will ride with power2max Type S power meters this year. power2max and Movistar Team have signed a sponsorship agreement starting 2014 that will the world’s best cycling team of 2013 train and race with power2max Type S power meters for Campagnolo 11-speed cranks. power2max has developed two specific new models of its top of the line Type S power meter: Type S Campagnolo 135 and Type S Campagnolo 110.
The Type S Campagnolo power meter was developed specifically for power meter compatible Campagnolo 11-speed Ultratorque cranks and will be used by Movistar Team on its Canyon Aeroad, Ultimate CF SLX and Speedmax team bikes. Of course the Type S power meter retains the qualities that power2max power meters are known for: designed2fit, simple2use, built2resist, ±2% precision, Made in Germany, ANT+ left-right balance.
“We train and race with power at all times to maximize our performance. Accurate and consistent power data is a key piece of the puzzle,” says Eusebio Unzué, director of Movistar Team. “As the world’s best cycling team in 2013 we want a strong power meter partner that provides us with an outstanding tool and stands behind us 100%. power2max is our partner of choice as their power meters are precise, reliable and very simple to use. This is exactly what we want and need. It allows our riders to focus 100% on their job,” he continues.
From February power2max Type S power meters can be seen in action at UCI races – from the spring classics to the grand tours Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta d’España, among many others. We wish Movistar Team all the best for its 2014 racing season – of course with the help of power2max Type S!
The Power of Strasser Part 2 – 207 Big Macs to cross the USA
In our last article we looked at Christoph athletic profile and fatigue curve. With a 370w FTP (4.8w/kg) he is a fast cyclist, but not quite at the level of a domestic pro over short distances. But when the going gets long his 5 to 6% fatigue curve means that he can push big numbers for a long time, which is the name of the game in ultra cycling.
The Power of Strasser – Part 1
We are proud that the most prolific ultra endurance cyclist of the moment – Christoph Strasser – is using power2max power meters. For those who don’t know Christoph yet: he is a two-time winner of the toughest ultra endurance race in world, the Race Across America (RAAM) and the only man who has ever done it in less than 8 days. In 2013 he completed the crossing from the west to the east coast in 7 days, 22 hours and 12 minutes. Christoph has kindly shared his power data with us so we can show you some of the numbers behind the record.
