Power Isn't Just For Roadies

The Stages Cycling Shimano XT M8100/8120 Single Leg Power Meter measures power and cadence extremely accurately and easily integrates into Shimano XT cranksets.

Stages Power meters are ridden by world and national champions in every discipline of cycling. From weekend warriors to mountain bike Olympians, Stages power meters are for ridden by the best athletes in the world.

The Shimano XT M8100/8120 Single Leg Power Meter uses active temperature compensation as standard equipment. Consistency of measurement is the most important feature of a power meter.

This power meter also uses individual meter calibration for the most accurate results. Stages power meters are calibrated individually to ensure a plus/minus 1.5% accuracy level. Individual calibration means that you can trust the data produced by Stage's system.

Power is key

Works well and appears to give numbers that are reasonably close to what I expect. Probably one of the cheaper options on the market.

But this design may be too dainty for MTB use. On my second ride I smacked the unit hard enough to dislodge the cap. A while later I found the battery had fallen out. Stages sent me a couple of replacement caps. It sounded like this was a fairly common occurrence.

Yes, the strain gauge is mounted on the inside of the crank arm. Rock must have smacked it pretty good.

Tried Rally pedals - heavy and sloppy but true dual sided power and dynamics is interesting, and helped to resolve a pedalling issue. Actually, the data showed I had an issue and after some time with a bike fitter the data showed the issue was gone. Save $1k and simply go see a fitter.

Currently running an Easton cinch bb power meter on my gravel bike. Clean install with nothing hanging out to get hit but may not be ideal for non-desert climates. Don't know how well the cap will keep water out if one needed to ford a stream.

Tried a spider based power meter too but seemed kind of silly to put a spider on a cinch mount and then bolt on a chainring to the spider.
