SpinScanTM
Pedal Stroke Analyzer is an exclusive feature of CompuTrainer and Velotron
that helps you increase power and efficiency. The multi-color torque graph
represents one full 360° revolution divided into 15° segments. The
left/right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal
in "circles". It will identify "flat" or "dead" spots in the pedal stroke
where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike
fit utilizing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and
guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle)
displayed on the Polar Graph helps you adjust your position for optimum
power.
SpinScanTM can be viewed in a
multitude of ways

The high "peaks and low
valleys" or flat spots represents a choppy, pedal mashing style
of cycling that does not maximize power distribution.
The flat and more even bar graph
shows more 'even' pedaling mechanics as reflected in the "SpinScan"
number of 75.
The Polar Graph of SpinScan for
this cyclist's non-symmetrical power output shows up as an
"unbalanced" peanut shaped display as well as a 35/65 power split
between each leg - an additional piece of bio-mechanical performance
data which relates to overall performance efficiency.
