METRICS
How often are the power values shown?
ROTOR 2INpower becomes active after pedaling
starts.
Sampling frequency is 200 Hz, which means that
force data are measured 200 times per second.
The data sent to the computer device are from the
last completed pedal rotation. How long a single
pedal rotation lasts depends on the cadence of the
cyclist, for example, if the cyclist pedals at 90 rpm
then the rotation lasts 0.67 seconds.
The power measurement of a rotation is sent
according to ANT+™ protocol: 4 times per second.
How data are recorded and accumulated depends
on the computer device.
Which data related to power are provided by
2INpower?
2INpower processes and provides values of:
Power, Cadence, Left-Right Balance, Torque
Effectiveness and Pedal Smoothness.
2INpower also calculates and shows additional
information that can only be viewed through the
User Software: TORQUE 360 and OCA (Optimum
Chainring Angle). These two parameters are INpower
technology specific.
How can I see Torque Effectiveness and Pedal
Smoothness data?
Both metrics are accessible by ANT+ -compatible
device manufacturers and it is their decision
whether to show them or not on their devices.
TM
Most ANT+ -compatible devices already feature
these metrics' recordings and visualizations.
Check for the metrics supported by your Bluetooth
Smart device.
52 Frequently asked questions
How can I see the TORQUE 360 graph and my
OCA value?
Currently these data are only accessible using the
User Software that can be downloaded for free
from ROTOR's website. Once you have successfully
downloaded and installed the software, you can
use ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart connection to
connect your power meter to the software.

more about TORQUE 360 and OCA.
What is TORQUE 360?
INpower's technology allows us to feature — among
other data, the polar curve of the effective torque
— or force — applied to the pedal, which intuitively
displays the distribution of power exerted at different
angles through a pedal rotation.
The fact that the ROTOR INpower technology doesn't
measure the combined power of both legs same as
other systems in the market, but rather measures
each leg independently, allows us to analyze the
complete pedal rotation and how power is delivered
both in the descending phase of a pedal rotation
(positive) and the ascending phase of a pedal rotation
(usually a negative reference).
The polar display is useful to know your pedaling
pattern to help you improve your pedaling technique.
What is OCA?
OCA stands for Optimum Chainring Angle and is
one of the new data features offered by ROTOR
Inpower technology.
TM
OCA determines the angle in degrees, measured
from the dead spot at the highest point, in which
the effort's barycenter (where the area enclosed by
the torque curve or the force curve is divided by two)
is shown in the TORQUE 360 graph.
