XCADEY POWERMETER REVIEW

I have been fortunate enough to ride with the Xcadey power meter for the past couple of months.

I installed the Xcadey Xpower-s Sram 3-bolt 104bcd on my Titan Cypher that is specced with Sram AXS Eagle.

Installation was very easy and simple, the crank based unit fitted on the crank arm the same way your Sram blade would be installed and there was no hassle. After fitment I charged it through the USB cable provided for roughly 3 hours

After the charge was completed I connected the powermeter to my phone via Bluetooth and the Xcadey app. I made sure the firmware was up to date via a simple selection and also calibrated the unit seeing that it has just been installed.



One of the cool things on the app that I noticed was that you can adjust your power reading of the meter. This could come in handy if for some reason the unit does over-or under-read during your ride. You can adjust the reading to read higher or lower to get more of an accurate reading. I have played with this just to see how it reacts the reading, but I have kept my unit on the standard setting after the first ride and have not seen any abnormalities when doing intervals or during the past couple of races that I have used it. The reading of the Xcadey has been very similar to my previous power meter and I have not had any spikes or dropouts in power during the past two months of use.

The unit is waterproof and comes with a Li-ion Battery that clames a battery life of up to 150h of use. Thus far I have done about 80h of riding on my mountain bike with the unit and it is at 40% battery life.

Xcadey Xpower-s also has ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connection.

The power reading range is from 0-2500W and cadence reading from 30-220rpm.

The unit has a weight of 101g for the Sram edition.

Xcadey brings a range of units to the market that suits most of the groupsets we have in South Africa, they have units for Sram, Shimano, Cannondale, Specialized and Rotor. They make bringing power to your bike quite accessible and affordable.
