What’s going to be new on the Power Meter front in 2018? We’ve had a lot of new PM products to potentially buy over the last couple of years. Sometimes there is quite a delay between announcement and availability. So I approach this year thinking “It’s going to be a quiet one“. That could turn…
Trainesense have been on the radar for almost a year now and I have briefly mentioned them a few times, including here. It looks much closer to market now. Exciting! So we are looking at a tool which can measure the 3D force vectors from a hand paddle. OK it excludes total drag and propulsion…
It might seem superficially obvious to some people that “the most accurate power meter” might be the best power meter. Or maybe the most repeatably accurate powermeter is the best? But then maybe the most repeatably accurate powermeter involves: a huge sum of money; an inconvenient placement on your bike; and a usage case totally…

“One of the most highly anticipated cycling products in recent memory was the intriguing Brim Brothers Zone DPMX power meter, a clever cleat-based system that promised the ultimate in portability. After eight years in development, a highly successful crowdfunding campaign, and more than a little bit of media coverage, CEO Barry Redmond announced last week that…

The people at Sensitivius make ZWATT along with the rudimentary Sensitivus Gauge Android app. ZWATT is not a power meter as such from what I can gather. Instead they make the electronic power meter bits that they integrate into other equipment manufacturer’s parts. So, for example: the nattily named SG6x has been recently integrated into…
Lots of Shimano Goodies The full announcement from Shimano is <here> but in a nutshell ‘lots of goodies’. Of particular interest to me is their first foray into powermeters with the FC-R9100-P which is a PM-in-a-spider (drive crank body) delivering left- and right-side, dual-band power with strain gauges in each crank arm. It has rechargeable batteries…
Just to be clear, this is from the LIMITS website and not from my testing (I haven’t got one!).

The unit itself has apparently needed two hardware changes to make it physically…
