Sigeyi AXO Shimano MTB Power Meter
The Sigeyi AXO Shimano MTB Power Meter is a spider-based power meter that is compatible with Shimano direct mount MTB cranksets. The Sigeyi power meter measures power from both legs, is accurate to +/- 1.0% and is lightweight at only 83 grams. In addition, it easily bolts up to your existing Shimano crankset. Therefore, there is no need to buy new cranks or replace your bottom bracket.
The power meter also features a rechargeable battery with 300 hours of ride time, auto-zero functionality (so your data is always accurate), left and right leg power balance and a 2-year manufacturers warranty. Of course, you also get Bluetooth SMART. This allows you to use the power meter with your favorite indoor training program or app.
Important Tool Needed
If you are purchasing the 1X 100×8 version, you will need the Sigeyi Chainring Bolt Tool for Shimano 100×8, unless you already have the same type of tool. The bolts on the these chainrings require a specific hollow tip tool for removal and installation.

This is my second Sigeyi power meter. Why did I buy another? My other bike is my fun bashing bike- and I wanted an affordable, dead on power meter. I got just that- again. I took off the 8 security bolts- which was a pain, but I was able to do it. It’s super easy to strip them, so bring your patience and don’t rush them. I got the new spider on with my 34t and on my bike it went. I charged it to 100% and paired it easily with my Garmin 840. Super happy with this meter. And of course- even more important- I am happy with power meter city. Great people to deal with.

This is not a long term review since I’ve only had this a couple weeks and done a few rides with it. Overall very happy so far. I was a little skeptical not having ever heard of this company before, but after reading some credible reviews online I decided to try it out. The setup was very simple once I had the proper security torx bit and spider tool to remove the stock spider and then separate it from the chainring. FWIW, the spider tool can be had for less than $10 and I found the right torx security bit at my local Ace for $4. Accuracy was my big concern but after having done some testing of this vs my Assioma Duo pedals as well as on the Saris H3 trainer, both indicated this power meter was well within 1% of the readings from both of those other sources for any interval over 30 seconds (accuracy measurement on intervals less than 30 seconds always shows more variation across all power meters in my experience) so I haven’t even needed to adjust the power scaling on this, but I’m glad I have that option via the app in case it ever becomes necessary. That’s actually quite impressive accuracy in my experience and I’ve had quite a few power meters over the years, most quite a bit pricier than this. Its worth noting that even though this is dual sided measurement, the power balance metric accuracy has its limits because its trying to measure left side power sensing the strain registered on the spider which is on the right side: some calc adjustments are involved there. I think this makes the overall power measurement even more impressive really, but you can very quickly see where the balance calculations fall apart if you try pedaling with just one leg: the result is not 100%/0%. But as long as you’re pedaling with both legs and don’t have a balance skew worse than maybe 65/35 this thing tends to be right on point so from a practicality standpoint there’s really nothing to criticize here. I also like the design of this power meter for MTB purposes because its almost entirely out of harm’s way. And for the price, is there a better value out there? If you want power on your MTB then I would not hesitate to suggest this option. If I had to pick all over again, I’d go right back and buy this same thing.
