Boost Your Performance: Wahoo 4DP Results Enhanced by Shorter Cranks
Short cranks (160mm) gave me a better Sprint Performance, better Aerobic Power, better FTP and likely also better Anaerobic Capacity on the Wahoo 4DP Full Frontal Cycling Fitness Test.
After months of delays due to my second COVID event and an extended Shimano crank recall duration, I've finally done the Wahoo Full Frontal 4 Dimensional Power Test on short 160 mm cranks, then one week later on long 175 mm cranks. The Sufferfest indeed!
Here I show how even at 6 foot 4 inches, I get better all around cycling performance on the short 160 mm cranks.
I'll show you all of the results from the individual segments and explain in depth the context of each result. I've been riding on 160 mm cranks for 6 months now and will never go back to the longer cranks I always used before.
