How to calculate cycling power to weight
Power-to-weight ratio in cycling measures sustained power output relative to body weight — a key performance metric for climbing and overall cycling ability.
How the calculation works
Power-to-weight = Cycling power ÷ Body weight.
Example
250 watts at 70 kg: 250÷70 ≈ 3.57 watts/kg.

Pro Tips for Cycling Power To Weight
- Elite cyclists can sustain power-to-weight ratios well above 5-6 W/kg for extended efforts, though this varies by effort duration and rider category.
- Track this ratio over time as both fitness (power) and body composition (weight) change, since both affect the result.
Common Cycling Power To Weight Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing power-to-weight figures measured over very different effort durations (5-second sprint power vs. 20-minute sustained power), which aren't comparable.
