What is Power-to-Weight Ratio?

Power-to-Weight Ratio (PWR) is a crucial metric in cycling that measures your power output relative to your body weight. It's particularly important for climbing and acceleration, where carrying less weight for the same power output results in better performance.

Your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is the highest average power you can sustain for approximately one hour.

Performance Categories:

  • Beginner: Less than 2.0 W/kg
  • Fair: 2.0 - 2.9 W/kg
  • Good: 3.0 - 3.9 W/kg
  • Very Good: 4.0 - 4.9 W/kg
  • Excellent: 5.0 - 6.0 W/kg
  • World Class: Above 6.0 W/kg

Disclaimer: These categories are general guidelines and individual performance may vary based on factors such as experience, training, genetics, and environmental conditions.
