ROTOR Power Meters vs Garmin Power Pedals

Garmin Power Pedals โ€“ No Stock, No Answers. Is It Time to Switch to ROTOR?

If youโ€™ve been looking to buy Garmin power meter pedals โ€” the XC100, RS100/200, or RK100/200 โ€” youโ€™ve likely hit a wall: no stock available anywhere.

So whatโ€™s going on?

Garmin hasnโ€™t confirmed if these models are being permanently discontinued or replaced. All we know is the shelves are empty and thereโ€™s no clear roadmap ahead. For riders who rely on accurate, consistent power data, itโ€™s a frustrating limbo.

Thankfully, thereโ€™s a proven alternative โ€” and itโ€™s more than just a stopgap. Itโ€™s an upgrade.


Why Choose ROTOR Power Meters Instead?

ROTOR offers a different approach to power measurement: crank-based systems that are integrated directly into the drivetrain. This means:

โœ… Greater accuracy
โœ… Improved durability
โœ… Better weather protection
โœ… No cleat/pedal interface issues
โœ… Cleaner aesthetics

Trusted by professional cyclists and engineered with aerospace-grade materials in Spain, ROTOR power meters are purpose-built for precision and performance โ€” both on and off-road.

Pedal vs Crank: Whatโ€™s Better?

While pedal-based systems like Garminโ€™s are easier to swap between bikes, they can be more exposed to damage, contamination, and occasional inaccuracies due to cleat position or pedal wear. Crank-based systems like ROTORโ€™s are:

  • Fully integrated into your drivetrain

  • More consistent, as theyโ€™re not affected by shoe/pedal interface

  • Built to last, with IPX7-level waterproofing and sealed internals

For those riding seriously โ€” whether road, gravel, or MTB โ€” the benefits of crank-based accuracy and reliability far outweigh the flexibility of pedal systems.

Final Thoughts

With no stock of Garmin power pedals and no confirmed replacements, itโ€™s time to ask: Do you wait in the darkโ€ฆ or move forward with a smarter, stronger solution?

ROTOR gives you everything Garmin did โ€” and more.
