Why Train with the STRYD Next Gen 2 Power Meter?
Unlike traditional metrics that lag behind your actual physical effort, STRYD measures the exact mechanical power output (in Watts) you are producing at any given second. It factors in real-time variables such as wind resistance, elevation changes, slope incline, and your individual running biomechanics. This gives you an absolute, objective look at your training stress and efficiency.
