Garmin has unveiled a new power meter pedal family, giving consumers the opportunity to swap the spindle between Look, Shimano SPD-SL and Shimano SPD cleat-compatible pedals.
The Garmin ‘Rally’ pedal range is split between RK (Look Keo), RS (Shimano SPD-SL) and XC (Shimano SPD) style options, with a transferable spindle containing the strain gauge which can be moved between pedal bodies. Cross-compatibility exists between the Vector 3 pedals, too.
In this new Rally family, Garmin drops the ‘Vector’ name. The Vector 3 pedals got 5/10 from CW in a long-term review. They were subject to several updates and ‘fixes’; a new battery door was eventually released to avoid problems with power spikes and drop-outs. In our online review, we speculated that a lot of the issues were caused by cross-threading as a result of a metal battery cover screwing into a plastic body. In the Rally pedals, the metal battery door is now mated to a metal thread on the inside of the pedal.
