In a little over 10 years, power meters have gone from being an ultra-premium accessory only found on the bikes of pros to being commonplace on most bikes we see on a daily basis.
Although power meters are most useful to those of us who are looking to do focused interval training, they’re also a fun way to gauge effort, and look back on stats from your last ride. The power meter market has become very crowded in recent years both in terms of brands and models, but also in terms of types of power meters.
The Favero Assioma's flexibility is a big draw for them. Being able to swap between bikes and knowing they'll be compatible with any future bikes is great. As the one-person warranty department at Bici, I also know that Fevero is our least wararantied Power meter brand.
I've spent most of my time riding using a single sided power meter. I started with a Gen-1 Stages many years ago, and have had lots of other Stages and 4iiii's ever since. I've experimented with double sided units from some major brands but I always end up just defaulting to a single-sided unit since I don't end up using all the fancy metrics that more expensives units give me.
The modern power meter market is vastly improved to what it was even 10 yeasrs ago. There are now various options cater to the different preferences and needs of cyclists. While each type presents its own set of advantages and limitations, three main takeaways emerge:
When selecting a power meter, consider factors such as compatibility with your bike's crank model, your budget, preferred data measurement method (e.g., single-sided vs. dual-sided), and whether you prioritize ease of installation or comprehensive power measurement.
Most pedal-based power meters are compatible with popular cleat systems such as Look Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, and Speedplay Zero. However, it's essential to check compatibility with your specific cycling shoes before making a purchase.
While some power meters, like pedal-based options, offer the flexibility to be easily transferred between bikes, others, such as crank arm-based and crank spider-based units, are specific to the crank model and may require additional installation steps or adjustments when switching between bikes.
Power meters vary in accuracy depending on the type and brand. Generally, modern power meters provide reliable and precise data for performance analysis and training purposes. However, factors such as calibration, environmental conditions, and individual riding dynamics can influence accuracy. Regular maintenance and calibration can help ensure optimal performance.
