Reviews & Ratings
![そのパワーメーターは信用に足るか？測定精度を徹底検証 [MAGENE TEO-P515]](/youtube-cycling-reviews/1292.png?1785919406)
The reviewer tests the Magene TEO P515 power meter crankset, the carbon crank version, against a Favero Assioma Duo power meter. He finds the power measurements to be very accurate, with average power differences under 1% in steady-state tests and in real-world riding. He praises the aluminum crank version for its cost-effectiveness and the carbon version for its low weight, but notes the carbon version is much more expensive and has proprietary parts. Overall, he concludes that the P515 is a reliable power meter for training, with the aluminum version being the best value.
