Whether you're looking to take your training to the next level or you simply want a better way to measure energy expenditure, a power meter is your best bet. And the Power Cranks Ultegra Upgrade Kit are no exception. With our lightweight power sensors on a Shimano Ultegra crankarm, it's the perfect way to enter the power meter game.

The development of Power Cranks began with our Human Performance Team looking at riders in realistic scenarios on the bike. Historically, power meters have been validated by two different methods—one is by measuring the produced torque by applying a static, linear load to a crankarm or chainring, while the second uses a power generating motor to pedal the bike. Well, cycling is neither static nor linear, and humans apply power much differently than a machine. So, we found that neither of these methods answer the "real-world" accuracy question.

To get the best test for accuracy, in all types of riding scenarios, we built our own cycling treadmill, the WinMill, to measure power output to a known truth. This new benchmark lets us evaluate accuracy under all riding conditions—seated versus standing, various power and cadence levels, different weights, and a myriad of gear. This data acquisition process is our gold-standard for testing power meters, and through our testing and external validation from the Locomotion lab in Boulder, Colorado, Power Cranks have been proven to have the highest accuracy in real world scenarios (+/- 1.5%).

The Power Cranks are also easy to live with, with class-leading temperature compensation firmware and waterproof enclosures. Calibration is only required during seasonal-type fluctuations in temperature, and the included wrench makes battery swaps a breeze.

  • +/- 1.5% real-world accuracy tested on the WinMill and validated by the Locomotion Lab in Boulder, CO.

  • Works with ANT+ and Bluetooth® devices.

  • Easy set-up and diagnostics with the Specialized Power app. (iOS and Android versions available).

  • Shimano 8000 generation Ultegra left-side power measurement.

  • Right crankarm and chainring NOT included.

  • Available in 170-175mm crankarm lengths.

Improved accuracy

When the Specialized ap only smartphone said there was a firmware update for my power meter, I thought it was worth trying to download it. I did so, and then recalibrated my power meter, and the readings have been where I expected them to be. Now, I wonder if it was originally set up at the bike shop as if it were a dual power meter, since there was such a difference. I would completely change my former rating now as I am pleased with the device.

Inaccurate

My old bike burned up in a house fire. It had a Quark power meter, including both left and right pedals, and was accurate with my Garmin Edge 520. My new bike is a Specialized Roubaix, which I like a lot. I got the Ultraga one sided power meter to go with it. The readings on my Garmin are around double what they should be. So, I find myself ignoring them. Not a great investment.

Amazing power meter.

Worked straight out of the box. Used the app to calibrate. Using Strava as a head unit. Works like a charm.

Bummed

Just got the crank installed this past Sunday, and have not been able to get it able to sync to my phone. I have tried three different batteries, have put it in both ways just make sure I wasn't making a simple mistake, and have re-downloaded the app three times. Every time I go to try and sync it to my phone it claims that there are no devices to be found... very unfortunate. I have also looked online for trouble shooting and there isn't much other than to ""make sure to remove the plastic covering from the battery"". This leads me to believe that Specialized doesn't generally have any issues being as there are not very thorough instruction on how to troubleshoot them. I am hoping that I will get it sorted out very soon but would be very bummed if I needed to wait another week in order to try out the power meter for real. I'm guessing I just have a dud or that I some how miraculously messed up installing a battery (three times), so with that being said its hard to say whether or not I would be able to recommended this to a friend or not. I enjoy all Specialized products and it has a sleek design so based off of that alone, sure go for it, but that has no impact on the performance of the unit at all...

Excellent Upgrade

I had a left sided power crank added to my brand new Tarmac Disc Pro 2019 when I bought it. The power crank has just worked. No calibration. No faffing. It connected to my Garmin with ease and also to my phone and the app so I could see the configuration and diagnostics if I needed them (I didn't). The power readings on my ride seem very consistent and I'm really delighted. This is exactly how power meters should work.
