Key Product Details

Compatibility:

This power2max is compatible with Shimano MTB direct mount cranksets using a 1x chainring. This includes the M9100, MT900-1, M8100, M7100, M6100 and MT610. Regarding chainrings, it requires a 104 BCD 4-bolt MTB chainring (which is different than the direct mount chainrings found on many Shimano MTB cranksets). If you don’t already have a 104 BCD 4-bolt chainring, we offer several to choose from. See Compatibility tab for more information.

Power Measurement:

The power2max power meter measures power at the spider and is therefore able to measure power from both legs. This NG version is also able to measure your left vs. right leg power balance.

Key Features:

Dual-leg power measurement, accurate to +/- 1.0%, 150 hours of battery life, rechargeable battery, left/right power balance, ANT+ and Bluetooth compatibility, auto-zero (automatic calibration), 5-year warranty. See Specs tab for more information.

Advice From Our Staff:

This is a super solid option for Shimano MTB direct mount cranksets. Sure you have to change your chainring to a 104 BCD version, but this power2max measures power from both legs, is accurate and reliable. We believe the price also represents a good value for what you get (even for this more expensive NG version). We highly recommend power2max power meters and use them on many of our own bikes.
