Reviews & Ratings
The ThinkRider PP6 Power Meter Spider & Carbon Crankset is a new power meter from ThinkRider, positioned as a successor to the PP5. Forum discussion reveals it was first spotted via beta tester recruitment on RedNote and WeChat, and later appeared on AliExpress through third-party sellers before an official launch. Early impressions from a YouTube short were poor, with users calling it a 'random numbers generator' and worse than the PP5, but a follow-up test ride showed numbers within about 1.2% of Magene pedals after a break-in period. The product is noted for its very low price (around £65 for the spider), which some see as a potential market changer if accuracy holds up. Key concerns include whether it fixes the PP5's drift and residual torque issues, the legitimacy of early listings, and the lack of detailed information on its torque analysis feature. The charge port has changed from the PP5, but the crankarm interface appears the same.
