Seated/Standing Position

You likely have a unique preference for position on the bike during climbs and sprints. Select Garmin power meters can detect and flag riding position (seated or standing) during a ride by comparing forces applied to the pedals. Your compatible Edge cycling computer will then display current position, summaries of how often and how long you have been in the position and power data, all in real time.

After your ride, you can upload your data to the Garmin Connect app. There you can view each position, associated cadence and speed, and you can compare time spent seated vs. standing. Even learn how a certain position affects your power output, and analyze climbs and sprints. This detailed data gives you a dialed-in look at your ride and can be useful when determining position effectiveness and identifying tendencies to move positions during particular moments of a ride.
