Power meter pedals are great, especially when you can quickly switch from road to off-road (all in the same power spindle), like the updated Garmin Rally V2. For those who are powermeter curious and weighing the pros/cons of crankset versus pedal power meters, price is the biggest barrier to entry. Both are slightly expensive, but the crankset (or non-drive-side meter) is usually too much mechanical mayhem for some entry-level cyclists to navigate. Most land at the pedal option, but then come more questions: dual- or single-sided power, road and/or off-road, and what about other manufacturers? Garmin is looking to make some of the decision-making easier by lowering the prices all around on their newest Rally V2 Road and Off-Road power meter pedal (All Photos/Garmin)Dropping Power The Garmin road power meter versions (RS/RK) go from $749 / $1199 down to $599 / $899, while the XC versions follow the same trend, from $799 / $1299 down to $599 / $899. Thats a big enough shift to move these from nice upgrade territory into something a lot more riders will seriously consider. Is it a different design? No, and nothing about the system itself has changed.The Rally pedal is still built around that same swappable platform. Road one day, gravel or XC the next, different bike for race day, etc. We like the system because you dont need multiple meters on different bikes, AND you can easily travel with the pedals and put power into the rented beach cruiser during vacation (only slightly joking).If youre not familiar with the Garmin Rally pedals, check out our news and reviews here were pretty big fans. Accessory and Maintenance Price Drop Garmin also trimmed pricing on the supporting pieces, which is honestly just as important. Rebuild kits, replacement bodies, and conversion kits all saw significant drops, with some at nearly 50% off.
