February 24, 2023This product has been discontinued. We recommend the 4iiii PRECISION Shimano Ultegra R8000 Power Meter.
4iiii Podium Shimano Ultegra R8000 Power Meter
Introducing the all new 4iiii Podium Shimano Ultegra R8000 Power Meter. 4iiii has combined their patent pending 3-D tri-axial strain gauge technology with Shimano’s best of breed Ultegra R8000 groupset. The result is one of the lightest, most affordable and most accurate direct force power meters available.
The new Podium features a lithium ion rechargeable battery with 60 hours of battery life. The new pod also has a slimmer profile, with its thickness reduced approximately 10% from 8.2 mm to 7.5 mm.
Like the previous generation PRECISION, the 4iiii Podium Ultegra power meter determines your total power based on the power that is generated by your left leg. The new Podium remains extremely lightweight, adding only 7.5 grams to your crank arm. The power meter is compatible with both ANT+ and Bluetooth SMART devices and is accurate to +/- 1.0%.
Highlights

The Podium is accurate to within +/- 1.0%. This compares to average accuracy of +/- 1.0-2.0% for most other power meters.

Easy to Install
Installation is a breeze. Just swap it out for your current left-side crank arm and you’re ready to ride! Installation takes minutes…not hours.
Rechargeable
The Podium features a lithium ion rechargeable battery with an impressive 60 hours of battery life.
ANT+ & Bluetooth SMART
The power meter transmits data via both ANT+ and Bluetooth SMART so you can use it with a wide range of devices.

Recently purchased the Podium power meter for the Ultegra group. After several rides you wonder how you rode without a power meter. It works seamlessly with my Garmin 830 edge head unit, supplying crucial information for your rides. The amount of information that it shares with the Garmin head unit is amazing. Really gives you great insight into the metric of your riding abilities. It is valuable information if you want to improve the level of your riding and your output.
