XCADEY makes a spider-based power meter called the XPOWER-S for road, gravel, track and mountain bikes. We carry the second generation of this power meter which has been updated to be lighter and more accurate. The XCADEY power meter bolts directly onto your existing crankset which allows you to keep your current cranks and bottom bracket. In addition, this power meter measures power from both legs, is +/- 1.0% accurate, features left/right balance, has active temperature compensation and uses Bluetooth SMART. XCADEY makes models for many different cranksets including SRAM, ROTOR, Easton, Race Face, Shimano and more.
