It was the peak power output for only 4-5 seconds, the limit of the machine was 999. The position on bike wasn't good.... I heard that Petacchi does more than 1600 watts in a sprint and the indoor riders can go up to 2000 watts ! Remember that is not the average power but the maximum!

  • I'm a former Pursuit cyclist trained to go anaerobic for the race, and in "new speak" at least fluctuate on each side of LT. This AM on the SRM Powermeter during a hard group training ride I attained avg Watts at 327 over 1 hour, my 5 sec peak was 1238, standing sprint, my 30 second peak dropped to 763 and I almost booted in the gutter. you sir didn't get an accurate 999.

    Then again the best gauge is Watts per KG.

  • Thanks for the info! Watts per Kg it's important for climbings and not for flat roads.

  • 933 watts for a minute? so you hold the kilo world record i guess?

  • for only 4-5 seconds not a minute !

see all

  • hahahaha this video cracks me up

  • @purdnimfej I have hit 891 watts peak using arms and legs and 750 watts for around 30 seconds. I saw a woman who can do 500 watts for 5 minutes on the same machine. Subtract 100-150 watts from these figures for just legs. I've heard Lance Armstrong is still putting out 450 watts for the hour after 6 hours of racing!!

  • ahaha i love how ur shaking the machine near the end of ur sprint

  • Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I confused you with the "big words" like average and peak, stupid dumb fuck?

    If you knew how to use Google search perhaps you could have looked up FTP and numbers for various cyclists, which are well known and published, instead of posting your extremely insightful comment here, moron!

  • you put out more watts on an uphill. you're dumb.

  • Wouldn't really trust the calibration on those machines. Try getting an SRM power meter for your bike cranks and then having a go at a 30 sec sprint an seeing what your peak power was. I'd be very surprised if it was more than 600 watts.
