Cycling Watts per Kilo (w/kg)

The Great Equalizer: Power-to-Weight

In the flatlands, raw wattage is king. But once the road tilts upward—like the relentless switchbacks of the Anaga Mountains or the volcanic slopes of Mount Teide—gravity becomes the ultimate arbiter. This is where Watts per Kilogram (w/kg) takes over. It is the purest metric of cycling performance, stripping away the noise of equipment and body size to reveal your true climbing engine. For cyclists and multi-sport athletes alike, understanding your w/kg is about more than just a number on a screen; it’s about understanding your “velocity potential.” Enter your current FTP and weight below to see where you stand in the global hierarchy of speed.
