Stages Power has carried riders to three consecutive Tour de France victories, plus many more world and national championships. If you believe racing provides the world's best product proving ground, then Stages Power is proven as the world's best power meter. Featuring Active Temperature Compensation as standard equipment, Stages believes that consistency of measurement is the most important feature of a power meter. Stages Power was the first meter to make temperature compensation an automatic process ensuring accurate readings regardless of the environmental conditions. Stages Power meters are calibrated individually to ensure a +/- 1.5% accuracy level which means that you can trust the data produced by their system.

Super easy to install, pair, and calibrate
by PSBiker

My first attempt to add a power meter to my bike was a disaster and I returned it. (PowerPod v3). It was nearly impossible to calibrate the device and I got wildly unreliable readings once I did.
In contrast to the PowerPod, the Stages Power Meter is simple to pair, and periodic calibration is even easier. Obviously installation will require pulling your original left-side crank arm and replacing it with the Stages version. If you don't already have it, you'll need to buy the Shimano dust cap tool (spend a couple extra bucks to get the metal tool vs. the plastic one), but don't be intimidated -- it's a super easy installation process that can be performed in 5 minutes or less.
I'm using the Stages Power Meter in conjunction with a Garmin Edge and Di2. Power readings are reasonable and consistent. If you haven't used a power meter before, it will add an entirely new dimension to your training/fitness regimen. At some point I may add the right side power meter, but for now I feel like I'm getting tremendous value. Highly recommended!

Good power meter option
This power meter is the cheapest option that you can get around the 350 usd, it will work very good in cases when the rider has symmetrical pedaling option if this is your case not looking more.

Great for amateurs and those looking to work with a training program. I find no reason to spend more money on dual side power meters. This unit is foolproof and just works well. I enjoy it the most when I have a headwind as it reassures me that my efforts are still strong even though my speed is lower.

This is the data I needed!

I have wanted a power meter for some time but the prices of all the options just kept me from buying one. The Stages power meter has received excellent reviews and a sudden price drop made this the perfect Father�s Day gift (for me!). It integrates easily with my Wahoo ELEMNT and freed up a cadence sensor for use on another of my bikes. Having the power metric is truly useful on climbs, You can know if you are working too hard before it feels too hard. I think training with power will be effective for me. Also, if you wanted to try indoor training you do not need a smart trainer to get started. A Stages power meter will work with all the popular apps like Zwift and The Sufferfest, you can use a non-smart enabled trainer and still get many of the benefits of these applications. My indoor training options for this winter are improved.

The power meter arm arrived on time, it was an easy fit to my road bike and synced up to my Garmin right away. I've been using it for weeks now and it seems to be working perfectly. Good accuracy and easy installation.

Exceptional Value for adding Power measurements to your training.

I have been using the Stages Power meter for over 2 months and it has been a great product. Very accurately captures my power outputs to help better manage my training activities. I found it to read very consistent with my Wahoo indoor smart trainer power ratings so very happy with the power integration into the crank arm.

Fit and forget
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
After researching a bunch of options for a single power meter I ended up purchasing the Stages one. Great price point, super easy to install (with the right tools) and flawless communication to my Wahoo. The sensor is mounted really nice on the crank and doesn�t require tons of clearance, it really is �fit and forget�.

Easy to install, good app for firmware updates. I use it for power and cadence connected to my Garmin Edge 830. I've compared the power readings results to my Tacx Neo2 and find it within a few watts. Good enough for me.

Reliably provides power data to my Wahoo Elemnt. Just works. Is it accurate? Who knows? But I've seen no reason to question its accuracy, and it helps encourage me to ride harder and more consistently.
