It’s been a few years since PowerTap introduced their pedal based power meter system, the P1. That’s why the company is on hand in Kona to introduce something new. While the P2 power meter pedals aren’t a huge departure from the originals, they are substantially improved – if you care about things like weight and battery life (of course you do).
Thanks to a new pedal body design, the P2 pedals have shaved 34g while retaining the same functionality. That puts a pair just under 400g, at 398g. Better still, the pedals receive a 33% increase in battery life, now making them capable of providing up to 80 hours of ride time.
The P2s still use a Look Keo compatible cleat interface, and offer dual sided power measurement with left and right specific power and advanced pedal metrics. The P2s will be available soon for $899.99 a set.
