If you're in the market for a value-oriented Garmin Vector 2 Power Meter pedal, please check out the Vector 2 Single Pod for $699.00. These single pod power pedals can be upgraded to dual pods at a later date.

The Garmin Vector 2 Pedal Set with Two Pods is now the complete version of the Vector series. With both pedals measuring power force you can rely on direct left/right accuracy, left/right balance data and other data features. There is no need for the system to approximate power. This Vector 2 system includes left and right pedals with the axle-embedded power meter, the two pedals pods and all related hardware.

The Vector 2 system installs like a pair of pedals with just the added step of the pod placement. In fact, the only difference between the Vector and Vector 2 is a simplified pedal pod design that is much easier to install. There's no need for a mechanic, or no downtime while your bike is in the shop. There are no complex drivetrain or wheel tradeoffs, or no external sensors to install. Plus unlike its predecessor, there are no tricky washers to worry about. That means you can even swap it between bikes quickly if you desire.

The Garmin Vector 2 Powermeter measures power at the pedals, where it matters. It sees the whole force of the pedal stroke on each side and delivers reliable, accurate power data via wirelessly via ANT+. The Vector system calculates power and cadence.

At the heart of the Vector are silicon strain gauges mounted in glass which maintain their calibration better than foil strain gauges used on most of today's other powermeters. These gauges are located on the spindle which rotates on one bushing and one cartridge bearing. The carbon fiber pedal body is compatible with Look Keo cleats. The included pedal pod sits next to the crank arm and is held in place when the pedal is attached to the crank. The pod contains a replaceable 2032 battery, microprocessor, accelerometer and an ANT+ radio transmitter.

The Vector is compatible with all ANT+ head units. One key piece of information: only head units that have been updated to differentiate ANT+ left/right power will show left/right power. Garmin's Edge 500, 510 ,800, 810, 1000, Forerunner 310XT, 910XT, 920XT support left/right power when firmware is up to date, but the Edge 705 does not.

Included in the box: Vector pedals, two Pedal pods (standard thickness, 44mm wide version), cleats and hardware, USB ANT+ Stick and manuals.
