Differences
The power2max, Sigeyi and Magene all share many of the same features such as power measurement, installation and general functionality. However, they are not without their differences.
Cost
The power2max NGeco represents a great value for what you get. We are big fans of these power meters and use them on many of our bikes. For $490 – $590, you get a very reliable and accurate power meter that measures dual-sided power. However, the Sigeyi and Magene are both more affordable. The Sigeyi has become one of our best-selling power meters and is priced at $380. The Magene is new to the U.S. market but already has great reviews and is even more affordable at $365.
Power Balance
The power2max NGeco measures power from both legs right out of the box. However, if you want to see your power balance, you must upgrade the power meter in order to access this information. Both the Magene and Sigeyi power meters comes with power balance ready to go.
Weight
The power2max power meters weigh around 120 to 160 grams based on the version ordered. The Sigeyi comes in at 83 – 105 grams and the Magene weighs 110 grams. These differences aren’t much in the grand scheme of things, but if weight is a priority for you, the Sigeyi and Magene would be great options in order to save weight.
Models
While not in the table above, we wanted to touch on the different models power2max, Sigeyi and Magene make. power2max offers the widest range of models. For example, they offer a track power meter, multiple gravel power meters as well as a power meter for Campagnolo. However, we note that Sigeyi and Magene offer Cane Creek and SRAM 8-bolt road and MTB cranksets, whereas power2max does not.

Which One Should I Buy?
power2max, Sigeyi and Magene all make great power meters and they all benefit from good customer reviews and feedback. Crankset compatibility might play a role in which power meter you buy as these brands make slightly different versions. However, if you have your pick, you can never go wrong with a power2max. It is the most established brand and is very reliable, but it also sells at a bit of a premium to the other two. Sigeyi is a newer power meter, however as stated previously, it’s quickly becoming one of our best-sellers. Magene is the newest addition to our power meter line up. It is the most affordable and doesn’t lack any key features. Take your pick and enjoy accurate, reliable, dual-sided power!
