What power meter will fit my Cane Creek eeWings MTB cranks?

When it comes to Cane Creek eeWings MTB cranks, the power meter options depend on what version you have. There is an older, 3-bolt design of Cane Creek eeWings and a newer 8-Bolt version. The good news is there are options for both. Let’s check them out!

Cane Creek eeWings 8-bolt

The Cane Creek eeWings 8-bolt design is the latest iteration from Cane Creek. With this version of crankset, the chainring attaches directly via an 8-bolt system borrowed from SRAM. This means most SRAM 8-bolt power meter spiders are compatible with Cane Creek eeWings 8-bolt cranksets. Below are some great spider-based options for your eeWings 8-bolt crankset:

Sigeyi AXO SL SRAM 8-Bolt MTB Power Meter

Sigeyi recently upgraded their spider-based power meters to the AXO SL. This new version offers lower weight, increased stiffness and a new pedal smoothness feature. We are big fans of Sigeyi at Power Meter City and find them reliable and easy to use. If you have the eight-bolt MTB version of Cane Creek eeWings, this is a top power meter option.

Pros: Moderately priced, VERY reliable, don’t have to change crankset, measures both legs and is lightweight
Cons: None

SRAM XX Eagle AXS Transmission Power Meter Spider

Since the new eeWings 8-bolt cranksets use the same mounting interface as SRAM, that means you can choose a SRAM power meter. This particular SRAM XX Eagle AXS Transmission Power Meter Spider uses SRAM thread mount chainrings for a stiff setup with a sleek, clean aesthetic. There is also a growing number of third-party thread mount chainrings available from brands like ALUGEAR and Garbaruk.

Pros: Moderately priced, uses thread mount chainrings, don’t have to change crankset, measures both legs and is lightweight
Cons: None

XCADEY XPOWER-S GEN2 SRAM 8-Bolt MTB Power Meter

The XCADEY XPOWER-S GEN2 is a great value power meter with a strong feature set. It is very accurate and lightweight while being relatively inexpensive when compared to other power meter options. For an easy way to upgrade your training data while running a Cane Creek crankset, this would be a solid option.

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, accurate to 1.0%, don’t have to change crankset, measures both legs and is lightweight
Cons: Shorter battery life, manual zero calibration

Cane Creek eeWings 3-bolt

The Cane Creek eeWings 3-bolt design is the more common setup from Cane Creek, and applies to older generation MTB eeWings cranksets. With this version of crankset, the chainring attaches directly via a semi-proprietary 3-bolt interface. This does reduce options somewhat, but there are still some options to add power meter training data.

power2max NGeco Cane Creek MTB Power Meter

The power2max NGeco Cane Creek MTB Power Meter is our go to power meter for Cane Creek eeWings 3-bolt cranksets. power2max makes wonderful units – we use them on many of our own bikes. They are accurate, extremely durable, measure the power from both legs, are reasonably priced and allow you to keep your current eeWings crankset.

Please note, the power2max uses a 104 BCD chainring configuration. So, you will need a power2max compatible MTB chainring as well.

Sigeyi AXO SL Cane Creek eeWings 3-Bolt MTB Power Meter

Sigeyi makes a very similar spider-based power meter for Cane Creek MTB 3-bolt cranksets as well. Sigeyi recently upgraded their spider-based power meters to the AXO SL. This new version offers lower weight, increased stiffness and a new pedal smoothness feature. It also measures power from both legs, installs quickly and is overall a great power meter. However, we note that the Sigeyi AXO Cane Creek eeWings MTB Power Meter is a bit more affordable than the power2max.

SRM Cane Creek MTB Power Meter

SRM also makes a spider-based power meter for Cane Creek cranks. Like the ones above, it mounts to Cane Creek 3-bolt MTB cranksets, measures power from both legs and is very accurate. However, it is more expensive than the power2max or Sigeyi versions. If you’re an SRM fan, you’ll like this unit. Otherwise, you might give the power2max or Sigeyi a try and save some money.

The SRM also uses a 104 BCD chainring configuration so you will need a compatible chainring. We offer them on our product page along with the power meter.

Pros: Moderately priced (SRM is more expensive), VERY reliable, don’t have to change crankset, measures both legs
Cons: None

Power Meter Pedals

MTB power meter pedals are also a great option as they can easily be installed on any MTB crankset and can be moved between bikes if necessary. Therefore they are an option for both 3-bolt and 8-bolt eeWings cranksets. We carry every option available including the Favero PRO MX, LOOK X-Track, Garmin Rally XC, SRM X-Power and SRM X-Power Flat Pedals.

Pros: Easy to install, works on any bike, can move from bike to bike, don’t have to change crankset
Cons: Some versions are pricey
