Power-to-Weight (W/kg)Sports Science

Determine cycling performance power-to-weight ratio (W/kg) and benchmark against official Coggan power tier profiles.

Parameters & Inputs
Absolute Power Output (FTP / Interval)280 Watts
Rider Weight72 kg
Physiological InsightPower-to-weight ratio is the decisive metric for climbing speeds in cycling. Maximizing W/kg allows racers to scale steep inclines faster.
Interactive Analytics & Output
Calculated Power-to-Weight Ratio
3.89W/kg
Based on 280W output for a 72kg cyclist.
Coggan Level: Very Good (Cat 3)

Strong club rider, local competitor.

Coggan FTP Watt/kg Reference Limits (MALE)
World Class Pro:≥ 6.0 W/kg
Exceptional (Cat 1):5.3 - 5.9 W/kg
Excellent (Cat 2):4.4 - 5.2 W/kg
Very Good (Cat 3):3.7 - 4.3 W/kg
Good (Cat 4):3.0 - 3.6 W/kg
Moderate (Cat 5):2.4 - 2.9 W/kg
Scientific Sports ConditioningUse these metrics to systematically optimize athletic performance. Heart rate targets help structure endurance capacity, while power ratios and mechanical variables allow fine-tuning efficiency.
