4iiii Specialized Crank Carbon Power Meter

A partnership of 4iiii Innovations Inc. and Specialized Bicycle Components has produced the new S-Works Power-Cranks. A collaboration that brings cyclists, according to the folks at 4iiii, the lightest, most accurate power meter on the market. With real-world accuracy at a claimed 1.5%, the S-Works beats the nearest claims by .5%. We haven’t vetted these features yet, but it seems the partners have really put their R&D departments at hard work, and sent their product for independent validation at the Locomotion Laboratory at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

With all the powercranks available, what makes this power meter stand out? A combined dual-sided power meter plus carbon fiber. With two independent strain gauge assemblies on each crankarm, you see the total power you are producing.  Also, along with independent leg metrics, you’ll know how much power you’re putting out with each leg.

If you’ve never trained with power, you’ll likely find that it revolutionizes your riding somewhat. No lag in hitting the proper zone like other methods, and a very real measurement of exactly how much your fitness has changed. Moving from a single-leg measurement to a dual-sided unit, you’ll see maximum accuracy in your power numbers. And with these S-Works cranks measuring at 1.5%, it would make this iteration the ultimate training tool.
