VAM calculator cycling

Meters of climbing per hour. The W/kg figure here is gravity only.

Worked example

Worked example: 1,200 m/h. VAM. Gravity only: 3.27 W/kg. Change the numbers and the result updates immediately.

How to use it

  1. Enter the climb's elevation in meters, not the kilometers.
  2. Enter the time you took.
  3. The big number is VAM. The W/kg beside it is gravity only.

VAM is the elevation gain divided by hours. The W/kg that follow are gravity only: wind, tires and accelerations are not in the number. For a whole course, use Kyrie.
