ower vs INpower ?

ROTOR
INp
ower measures
®
generated by the left leg. The power value that's
shown is the result of extrapolation (default operation
to multiply by two) power measured in the left leg.
ROTOR 2INpower® keeps INpower® technology and
adds strain gauges to the drive-side crank, which
allows the measurement of the power applied by each
leg independently. In addition to the new metrics that
ROTOR INpower® introduced for pedal analysis and
monitoring:
TORQUE 360
Chainring Angle), ROTOR 2INpower® goes further
allowing analysis for each leg separately and
providing balance information.

How do I know if my frame is compatible with the
INpower axle?
®
INpower is equipped with the UBB30 axle system,
®
which was introduced by ROTOR.
UBB30 is a 30 mm diameter axle which is
compatible with almost all standard frames in the
market (when used with the correct spacers).
ROTOR INpower can be installed on your bicycle
®
even if your current cranks are 24 mm diameter.
UBB30 is compatible with the following
standards: BB30 (68/73mm), PF30 (68/73mm),
BSA threaded, ITA threaded, BBright and BBright
Direct Fit, BB86, BB386 EVO, BB89 and BB92.
The only frames not compatible with the UBB30
system are BB90 and BB95 (both for 24 mm
diameter axle). These two standards use bearings
that are directly pressed into the frame, without
using any intermediate bottom bracket.
How does ambient temperature affect
power measurement?
Ambient temperature does not positively or
negatively affect how ROTOR INpower works.
INpower gives accurate and stable power
®
measurement no matter changes in temperature
during a ride (e.g. long climbs with higher
temperatures at the beginning and lower
temperatures at the end).
It is not necessary to calibrate INpower due to
temperature changes.
