Sapere.

Garmin Edge data field coming

One field. Three modes. The whole ride.

Sistema unites the Sapere ride fields into one Edge data field with a tab bar: Strada (adaptive ride), Storia (efficiency & durability) and Scorta (W′-balance). Switch on the bike — no juggling two data fields.

Coming to the Garmin Connect IQ store (Edge 1050).

What you see

One screen at a time, the mode you need — each adapts to the data your bike actually provides.

Strada — the adaptive ride

Live wind, self-computed gradient & VAM, heart rate and turn cues — and it works without a power meter.

How Strada adapts

Strada morphs to what your bike provides: no power meter still gives you speed, self-computed gradient/VAM, live wind and HR. Garmin doesn’t expose true gradient to a data field, so Sapere computes it.

Honest fallback: a missing source drops its cell, the rest reflows.

Storia — efficiency & durability

The story of the ride: efficiency factor, decoupling, power retention and pedal balance.

The honest caveats

Efficiency factor is a personal trend, not a benchmark. Decoupling is only meaningful on steady rides. These need a power meter; without one the section steps aside.

Decoupling/efficiency reading after Friel.

Scorta — your W′ battery

A live W′-balance “battery” for racing and hard efforts — how much is left above your critical power.

A model, not a measurement

W′-balance is a model, deliberately race-conservative. It reads your critical power and W′ from intervals.icu and drains/recharges as you ride above/below CP. Needs a power meter.

Model: Skiba et al. (2012); Clarke & Skiba (2013).

With or without a power meter

Sistema is as dynamic as your bike. A missing source never breaks the screen — it steps aside.

All three modes light up: Strada’s power cell, Storia’s efficiency/retention, and Scorta’s W′-balance.

Strada still gives you speed, gradient/VAM, wind and HR. Storia/Scorta show an honest “no power meter” note instead of guessing watts.

Honest by design

Every estimate is labelled, and the W′-balance and efficiency numbers are presented as models and trends, not lab measurements. Pedal-balance and ANT+ figures can only be verified on the bike — the simulator can’t feed them.

How to get it

Platform coming

Garmin Edge 1050 data field — coming to the Connect IQ store. Free.

What it needs

An Edge 1050. A power meter unlocks Storia/Scorta and Strada’s power cell; wind needs the companion connection. intervals.icu supplies your CP/W′ and zones.

Languages

English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish — labels switch with your device language; units and metric abbreviations stay neutral.

One family, one brain

Every part feeds one honest daily answer. Explore the family →
