Garmin Rally vs Other Power Meters: What’s Best?

Garmin Rally Pedals vs Other Power Meters: What’s Best for You?

Crank, spider, hub or pedal? If you’re choosing your first (or next) power meter, here’s why many riders pick Garmin Rally pedal-based systems—and where other formats still shine.

Offer: All pre-order Rally items are 10% off automatically at checkout.

Why Choose Pedal-Based (Garmin Rally)

  • Fast installs & bike swaps: Move your power meter between bikes in minutes.
  • Shoe/cleat alignment insights: Dual-sensing Rally models provide platform center offset and power phase.
  • Fits your current ecosystem: Choose RS (SPD-SL), RK (LOOK KEO) or XC (SPD).

Where Crank/Spider/Hub Can Win

  • Dedicated race bikes: If you rarely change bikes, a crank or spider unit can be a “fit-and-forget” solution.
  • Track or TT setups: Some riders prefer spider-based symmetry and chainring stiffness.
  • Budget builds: Second-hand crank power meters can be cost-effective—when compatible.
