Beginners Guide To Power

What Are Power Meters?

Cycling power meters allow riders who are serious about performance to do structured training, monitor their workload, and track progress. Options like Stages, Quarq, SRM, and Garmin Vector power meters will help you get faster on your bike. Our buyer's guide covers it all.

Crank Arm Power

Power meters built into the crank arm are simple to install and work with your favorite pedals.

Spider Based Power

Power meters located in the spider of a crankset have historically been the gold standard. They tend to be incredibly accurate because they measure both of your legs (double-sided). Spider power meters are sold as part of a complete crankset or as a standalone spider to fit a compatible crankset.

Keep It Simple: Pedal Power

Pedal-based power meters are the easiest to install: Just swap your current pedals with the power meter pedals.
