      @@Adam-we2bdZERO problems and excellent accuracy. Epic battery life (I don’t remember when I charge it really).The only downside is communication with magene cause in my case setup is a mess with di2 105. But imo is the best powermeter out there.

    if i only had 1 bike and getting into power meters this would be a great item.
    my first power meter was powertap hub now i have a powertap p1 pedals so i can switch between bikes easier.
    Matt your intro and exit was just on fire
    hope your training is going well!

    First, if you are reading this, I hope you hit the like button on the video 😉
    I am personally not really the target market for a PM like this, but I am impressed that a device at this pricepoint provides serviceable results! Pretty sure they beat Shimano's offering by a landslide... For which Shimano should be embarassed...
    I love my Rallys but have typically recommended Favero as a budget friendly option given the expanded metrics you can get from pedal-based meters. It's great to have an even cheaper option that can be recommended. I think my only concern (being early in the market) is their long-term reliability and weather worthiness. But, I have confidence that Magene has done their due diligence.
    I have to give it to Magene, they are coming in strong with solid budget options for the cycling community!

    • @mlegrand
      @mlegrand  6 місяців тому

      I know Shimano's power meter 😬 right? That's been such a train wreck. At this point couldn't Shimano just buy these at $300 and sell them for $1000 and slap their name on it. Hope all is well over there!!!

    Good day!!!! Oh man, what a mess of a name. BUT that price? Shoot!!!
    Such dynamic stock footage in the intro.
    Around 120, is that the park around the lake?
    Oh baby, that comparability with Shimano BB is clutch!!!
    Do you remember when 52/36 was called a 'pro compact'? That made me feel so fast.
    NO WAY- the Shimano rings are compatibility? Man....this is a really well thought out product.
    Tell me what the highest watts you've ever seen? I'm genuinely not sure I've breached 1000 watts...
    The calibration process is also really well thought out.
    Ahahaha "Ah, I don't know, it is a bout 300 watts...whatever..."
    700 watts baby!!!! NICE.
    OHHHHHHH!!!!! The "find my network" feature is snazzyy!!!!
    Oh the transition that went THROUGH the pedals!? That's a really nice cut.
    If I was into the power meters, this would be a strong contender! We have Stages just up the road, so hard not to support the locals, but this would be an excellent option, for sure!
    XOXO buddy

      Well it depends on sizing of each but this crankset is very light weight at around ~ 650g vs Ultegra cranksets which weight a range of : 668 (46-36T) 674 (50-34T) 681 (52-36T) 690 (53-39T).
