Magene P715 SPD-SL Pedal Power Meter Review
Shane Miller - GPLama
April 15, 2026
The Magene P715 delivers solid, within-spec power data and performs well as a pedal, backed by excellent battery life and solid durability. However, in a competitive market, its external pod design, limited feature set, and now price parity with stronger alternatives make it a tougher sell. This video dives deeper into the data than anyone really needs, including the latest updates on the new pedal body replacements.

AI-Summary
Pros
- Dual-sided power measurement (no guesswork about left-right balance)
- Excellent power data accuracy within specification during typical pedaling
- 120-hour battery life described as 'exceptional'
- Option of either Shimano SPD-SL or Look Keo road pedal bodies

- Data includes power, cadence, left-right balance, and additional cycling dynamics metrics over ANT+
Cons
- External battery/pod design considered older technology
- Design limits spindle to road pedals only
- Weight (322g on reviewer's scales), Q factor (55mm), and stack height (13mm for Shimano version) are slightly greater than competitors like Assioma Uno
- No cleats supplied in the box
- Does not measure or account for PCO (Pedaling Center Offset) - affected by extreme PCO differences
