CX/Gravel Power Meters Overview
This page contains our favorite power meters for cyclocross and gravel riding. Cyclocross and gravel power meters fall somewhere in between their road and MTB counterparts. Unlike a road power meter, it must be able to withstand the abuse of off-road riding. We’re talking dirt, mud and rocks. However, unlike a MTB power meter, it needs to work on a drivetrain with larger gearing. For example, a CX power meter might feature a 1x 38-42T chainring, whereas a gravel power meter might feature a 2x 48/35 or 50/34 chainring.
