Stages Shimano XT M8120 Driveside Power Meter

If you currently have a Stages Shimano XT M8120 left side crank arm, this Stages Shimano XT M8120 Driveside Power Meter allows you to upgrade to a dual-sided power meter. With power sensors on both the left and right crank arms, you can measure and record total as well as independent left power.

Also, some bike frames cannot fit a left side crank arm-based power meter due to clearance issues with the chainstay. In these situations, this Stages driveside power meter is a perfect solution! It allows you to quickly and easily add power to the right side of your crankset where clearance and compatibility issues don’t exist.

The power meter is extremely lightweight – adding only 15 grams to the weight of the crank arm. All Stages power meters are compatible with both ANT+ and Bluetooth SMART devices, which means you can use your favorite bicycle computer as well as a smartphone or tablet.

The Stages Generation 3 power meter features radio antennas that are 6x more powerful than the previous version. This means better compatibility with both bike computers and watches. The new versions also feature improved accuracy (+/- 1.5%) and have an LED indicator light on the housing for improved ease of use.

Common Questions and Answers

Question: Does this power meter come with a left crank arm too?

  • No, this power meter is a Stages right side crank arm only. Assuming you currently have a Shimano XT M8120 crankset on your bike, you swap out your right side crank arm for this power equipped version, and you keep your current left side crank arm on the bike.

Question: How do I pair my new Stages right side power meter with my current left side?

Question: How do I determine what length my current cranks are so I can make sure I get the same size?

  • Your crank arm length should be printed or stamped on the inside of the left crank arm, usually near the pedal end.
