Dual-Sided
Dual-sided power meters have power meter pods installed on both the left and right sides of your bike. These are paired together and combine the individual power measurements from each leg to show you your total power output.
This is the ultimate and most accurate training tool. You can get advanced metrics like left/right balance, torque effectiveness, and pedalling efficiency.
Drive-Side
Drive-side power meters involve a single powerm eter pod installed on the drive-side crank arm. It measures the power created by your right leg, and multiplies by two to give you your total power output.
A drive-side power meter is a great option for those who are just getting into training with power. If you have tight clearance between your chainstay and crank, a drive-side factory install will eliminate any clearance issues.
Non-Drive-Side
Non-drive-side power meters involve a single power meter pod installed on the left crank arm. It measures the power created by your left leg, and multiplies by two to give you your total power output.
A left-sided power meter is a great option for those who are just getting into training with power.
