The only difference to be aware of is that the two companies sell different crank arm configurations, and in the case of FSA you have to pay extra for a firmware update to enable Bluetooth Smart. While Shimano started out with their high-end Dura-Ace, everyone in the industry knows how this story ends (by going to cheaper models eventually). Is there a 2019/2020 edition planned for the guide?

Yet other days it’s oddly low (compared to 2-3 other power meters that are well trusted). You’re lucky if you raise your leg fast enough to keep from producing a downward force on the rising pedal.

Strain guages can absolutely be programmed to measure deflection based on multiple parameters and in single or multiple directions dependent on the placement and type of guage being used.

Could you recommand Vector over Assioma for the same price ? Mounted and since then they are running smooth without any kind of Problem. It doesn’t do cadence well however, as that’s just an estimate. Pricing is competitive with other full left/right units currently shipping. This year also didn’t see major price shifts. If there’s anything I want to change in the industry it’s the mindset that there is a single perfect power meter for every consumer. At present no independent media outlet (or any outlet/person/pigeons for that matter) has tested the unit yet. Thanks from Rio de Janeiro. As part of the shift to the Stages LR product, Stages also refreshed their left-only power meters, to their new ‘Gen3’ models. The spikes might have been fixed in a later firmware, though…. Powertap chainring not compatible with my cranks. According to the campaign update from yesterday (Nov 12th) shipping will start as planned on Nov 29th and they’re compiling an update with data information. Thanks! The only downside compared to Vector is that it’s not quite as sleek, nor does it have Cycling Dynamics. Note that even with true left/right power (below), there’s actually very little in the scientific community around what to do with the data. Sounds like they’ll be hitting market early next year. The power meter’s numbers are all over the place, even with 3 second averaging. That platform works by essentially splitting your crank in half and assuming that any power recorded while pulling up is actually coming from the left side, whereas pushing down is from the right side. Hands-on: WatTeam’s New Gen3 PowerBeat Power Meter (July) Hey Ray, thanks for the in depth reviews, this is awesome. But assuming you get it installed, it’s mixed. What are your thoughts on oval chainrings, I had no idea where to look these up? I currently own a Trek road bike and Cannondale mountain bike, both with Stages single sided power meters. BTW – the link at the start to the training peaks article in this sentence: “For those, start here with these posts.” is out of date and just leads to a trainingpeaks “page not found” placeholder page. Advantages: Lower upfront cost, a few different power meter attachment options, company has experience as an OEM to other brands – so not really an unknown startup. The general trend I see here is that it’s more of a rider preference thing. What’s more important though these days (if looking to buy Vector 3) is how many new customers are having issues. Correct, Stages Gen 2 and Gen 3 L-only power meters CAN BOTH be converted to true LR units by purchasing a Stages R model and linking them in the Stages app. The attraction of this system is it allows for a variety of chainring sizes and would be perfect for my all-road bike. Each time it cost $150 and that doesn’t even include the shipping of the wheel. I know this question has been asked to death on previous Vector 3 reviews/buyers guides, but is there any possibility of a shimano spd-sl compatible vector 3 (or 4?). Also, their website mentions the Zpiders as out of stock and on hold for next gen. My first powertap wheel was like that, and then it went wrong for me. If I saw them without knowing they were refurbished, I would have thought they were brand new. If you know the answers to how the measurement takes place, it would be great if you could share that knowledge. In spring 2017 (when the first units started shipping) that was a killer deal as far as I’m aware with most L/R options in much higher price brackets. Starting off on straight road bikes, they’ve expanded to other areas including track and cross bikes. What are your least favorite countries/places? I’ve had the Garmin Vector 3 for over a year and only wish I had gotten the double sided instead of the single sided. Also, the battery life is more limited than some other power meters.

Stages power meters … Do you know what the model number is for the new pioneer power meters that have the bluetooth smart? Worth watching and the GCN folks seem to know a little about what they are talking about. Would I buy it: No problem at all here, as noted above – it’s probably the best deal for a complete (captures all power, not just left) power meter on the market today, primarily the NG ECO. As I change power application the vector mapping shows changes and I can keep an eye on the efficiency of each leg, output of each leg and L/R balance simultaneously. I don’t know. Ceased bearing races and electrical issues. Thus why we see it on pedals, as well as the more expensive crank-arm or pedal based power meters. I haven’t heard from them since then. I won’t say that it’s any better or worse than the other meters but it is precise and consistent. I was looking at a pricing chart they sent over inclusive of the new models, but apparently that oddly didn’t include the send your stuff in option. The Powertap works great and as you mentioned is set and forget. Interestingly, they commissioned what I’d regard as the most detailed and insightful power meter accuracy test to date. The reliability is generally very good. Once you ditch the power smoothing you realise just how inconsistent humans are and a “smooth” feeling pedal stroke is not all that smooth! Up until last year, other manufacturers couldn’t display this, but Garmin has effectively opened the standard up last fall, however at present it’s yet to be implemented. I find that PDF versions of online/living documents don’t tend to age well. After working flawlessly the older one recently stopped working (the power reported dropped to less than half what it should and calibrating the meter would produce an error). It’s also a good option for those that travel and are stuck with hotel bikes and want to get some mileage with Zwift on an otherwise non-useful hotel bike. Ok, with all the core power meter features covered, let’s dive into the brands available today. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

The one exception is SRM’s crankset units which use a built-in battery that needs to be sent back to the factory every once in a long while. In some cases, you can check independently (count and time your pulse, compare to mile markers). Polar also has a variant of this in some of their new cycling units as well with their own pedals. I aim to leave no stone unturned. Thank you as always for the great review/guide. It sounds like the number of customers that did have issues was likely in the 10-20% range. Dan G, thanks for that constructive comment. I was wondering if you had noticed anything around life expectancies of the various types. Has anyone tried them? Team Zwatt launched two summers ago via crowdfunding with a few different power meter options. The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. And that for a third of the price of the now available SRM SPD powerpedals! Albeit with somewhat mixed results. He was saying that one of the major disadvantages of a pedal based system is that due to the use of inferior materials and plastics that these wear over time, become soft and therefore make power measurements useless. However, just like last year, I don’t expect to see any further price drops this year, with the first round likely not coming until probably Spring 2019 – dependent entirely on whether or not IQ2 can put forth a viable product. Many of the products in this post can produce just as consistently accurate power as SRM (which again, SRM is good at doing). Of course, at the same time, most other power meters are fairly accurate as well – but Infocrank seems to be more hassle-free when it comes to that side of things. Then there’s a list of companies that I don’t see as being in business anymore – either because they’ve said so, or because they’ve gone silent. There are certainly other views out there (all wrong of course), but this comes from my perspective of trying out all the products below and hearing feedback from literally hundreds of people per day. Is it based on an average or total force per revolution? I want to know if the power measurement is cumulative, average, or peak per revolution. Since then they’ve repeatedly driven down the costs of power meters in the industry, and gained significant market share in doing so. My old rear wheel will be dedicated to a Stac Zero Halcyon ( and it’s weights) each winter. They started shipping in various beta states last spring, though have ramped up shipping in more of a production status this fall. I would not recommend Vector 3 pedals and being one of the owners with issues, I'm sad to see Ray recommend them. Not mechanically inclined The lead times for both were several months. If 6mm, you want a non-boost power meter … The new single-sided Stages Power L meter is built on to a non-drive-side Cannondale SiHG crank arm and is compatible with all Cannondale Si and Hollowgram SiSL2 drivetrains. Is it based on the maximum force being applied per revolution? C) I’ve never heard of the rotation speed making things less accurate. Actually, as you can see from the above comment, you can upgrade by purchasing the R only. Oh, and they had great pricing. Should I be changing my pedals every few months, that’d be pretty expensive!! Yes power smoothing is/was enabled.the bigger issue i had with the Vector pedals was not just the jagged, but how jagged it was. It’s also offered both as an add-on for new bikes, but also straight from Specialized within their accessory store online (meaning, you don’t have to have a Specialized bike to buy it). Last summer they repeated that performance with their Assioma pedals (seen above). I stuck my Assioma’s on the bike and the first thing I noticed was that my warm-up stared at 200 watts. Truly a gift. For example, I’d be less concerned if you had a close friend that used a PowerTap for six months and then decided to swap it out for something else due to changing their rear wheel for a disc. Their site just states “No prices available” for anywhere other than US and Canada. it is probably an “obsolete” product compared to crankset/pedals based PM but still makes to use if if you owns one…, SRM While they did introduce some data analytic options over the past year or so, we haven’t seen them add in Bluetooth Smart support yet, which is becoming a competitive requirement for all power meter vendors. I’ve also had issues with batteries draining in a single day too – but that seems to be transient. Cannondale Slice TT Bike & Power Meter (Bonney Lake) $1,500. You’ll thank me in time. Advantages: Accuracy is solid, super easy to use. Additionally, in the following section after this, I’ll cover announced but not yet shipping units that are on the road to market.
