Power Meter Pedals for Road Overview
This page contains our power meter pedals for road bikes. Power meter pedals are one of our most popular power meters. They are accurate, easy to install and move between bikes. In addition, you can use them on any bike. With most of these pedals, you have your choice of single- or dual-sided versions. Single-sided pedals have a sensor in one pedal (usually the left) and measure power from one leg. Dual-sided pedals have a sensor in both the left and right pedal and measure a rider’s total power. These dual-sided versions cost a bit more, but are usually more accurate due to the fact they measure both legs.
Additional Information:
Brands
We carry power meter pedals from Favero Electronics, Garmin, PowerTap and SRM/LOOK. All of these companies have been making power meter pedals for a number of years and typically release new versions every 2 to 3 years.
Options
As mentioned above, you have the choice of a single-sided pedal that measures power from one leg, or a dual-sided pedal that measures power from both legs. Dual-sided pedals are usually more accurate. In addition, they are also able to measure independent left/right leg power. Please note, PowerTap only offers a dual-sided pedal.
Important Notes
These pedal-based power meters all come with their own, LOOK Keo style cleats that you must use with the pedal. Original LOOK Keo cleats can also be used, with the exception of the PowerTap. The PowerTap P2s require that you use their own cleats only. Please also note, none of these pedals are compatible with Speedplay cleats.
