£789, garmin.com £359, hammerhead.io

Garmin’s latest pedal-based power meter provides +/-1% accuracy and has a sleeker design, completely rebuilt in-house. It provides data for individual pedals, plus a wealth of performance metrics from Garmin Cycling Dynamics. The 120-hour battery life is great for enduro rides, while Vector 3 is easily transferable between bikes. ANT+/ Bluetooth hooks up with your bike computer and watch.

The Karoo bike computer’s headline feature is a high-resolution, scratchand glare-resistant touchscreen that’s highly responsive, but smart enough to ignore raindrops and mud. Routing skills include planning, accurate navigation and automatic rerouting. Battery life is 14 hours and it’s also a connectivity king with Bluetooth, ANT+, Wi-Fi and a cellular SIM card. Naturally, it pairs with power meters and apps such as Strava.

The ‘plus’ in Bike Plus adds strength and flexibility workouts to those wildly popular spin classes. Whether it’s yoga or bootcamp, varied sessions come via a larger 24-inch HD display – complete with powerful speakers – that can be rotated and tilted. There’s also a front-facing camera for mid-workout banter among friends. The revolutionary Peloton bike remains the main event, but Bike Plus opens up doors to a more rounded training regimen.
