SRM has released the world\u2019s most expensive flat pedals, which double as a power meter.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac1,756 X-Power flat pedals have an anodised alloy body and weigh a claimed 205g each.<\/p>\n

According to SRM, the flat pedals are accurate to +\/- 2 per cent. This is slightly less than most of the best power meters available today,<\/a> which typically offer an accuracy range of +\/- 1-1.5 per cent.<\/p>\n

Until now, mountain bikers who prefer flat pedals to clipless<\/a> didn\u2019t have the option of using power meter pedals.<\/p>\n

For those riders, spider- or crank-based power meters were the only ways to track power output on the trails.<\/p>\n

The power meters appear to contribute little weight, since the X-Powers are no heavier than the best mountain bike pedals<\/a>. For example, the Deity TMAC flat pedals<\/a> we scored five stars weigh 454g.<\/p>\n

The one-sided power meter pedal costs \u20ac797.48 and the dual-sided option rises to \u20ac1,755.63.<\/p>\n

Single-sided pedal sets can be upgraded to dual-sided with the \u20ac671.43 X-Power extension.<\/p>\n

These anodised alloy pedals also come in black, blue and silver.<\/span><\/figcaption> SRM<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The German brand\u2019s new flat pedals incorporate an identical steel spindle to its SPD-compatible X-Power power meter pedals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have asked SRM if this means the pedals are interchangeable, allowing a rider to switch between pedal bodies. We will update this article when we receive a reply.<\/p>\n

In addition, we are waiting for SRM to confirm the pedals\u2019 dimensions.<\/p>\n

The spindle contains the power meter that fits in the flat-pedal body. SRM says the body is replaceable if damaged in a crash.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer claims the X-Powers have 30 hours\u2019 battery life and recharge using a USB cable.<\/p>\n

They should connect to the best bike computers<\/a> as well as iOS and Android devices via ANT+ and Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new about the SRM X-Power flat pedals?<\/h2>\n

The power meter\u2019s claimed 30-hour battery life should last most of us for weeks of riding.<\/span><\/figcaption> SRM<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

While there are multiple power meter options for road bike pedals<\/a> or for Shimano SPD<\/a> cleats, there were previously no flat pedal options.<\/p>\n

As a result, mountain bikers who didn\u2019t want to clip in would have previously only been able to record their watts on spider- or crank-based power meters.<\/p>\n

Although a fine solution, there are specific benefits to power meter pedals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re easy to switch between bikes, if you own several. You\u2019ll only need simple tools, such as an Allen key and spanner.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, you may need to change your bike\u2019s bottom bracket<\/a> to install a crank- or spider-based power meter.<\/p>\n

In addition, you\u2019re not wedded to a particular crank length or bottom-bracket system with power meter pedals.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
