Stages Cycling Launches Dual Sided Power Meter for Ultegra 8100

Stop the presses. Stages has launched a dual sided power meter for Shimano’s latest 12-speed Ultegra 8100 cranksets. That’s not relevant to us at all, but it might be relevant to you, and so we’ll pretend to be enthusiastic about it. Wow! Finally, the 12-speed Ultegra 8100 cranksets are getting some affordable power meter love!

The drive-side Stages R crank arms and dual sided Stages LR cranksets for Shimano’s 12-speed groups feature a new power meter design including new strain gauge placement and sensors. That’s awesome! We always wanted our strain gauge placed differently!

Available Now for $839.99

Units are available to purchase now in varying lengths and chain ring configurations for $839.99. Absolute units! Factory Install service for Ultegra 8100 cranksets is also available now, starting at $529.99. What’s the difference? We don’t know. Maybe we’ll buy both!

Some More Words!

Stages Power meters are built and individually calibrated in Boulder, Colorado to exacting standards of performance, accuracy and reliability. The current Gen 3 Stages Power technology features accuracy within 1.5 percent, active temperature compensation for consistent performance regardless of weather conditions, IPX7 water resistance, and user replaceable CR2032 batteries.

The Ultegra 8100 crankset is compatible with all 12-speed Shimano Hollowtech II road bottom brackets. Customers who have already purchased a left sided Stages Power meter for R8100 can purchase a drive side power meter and pair it to their existing left side to create a dual sided unit.
