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.

wow, all Ptap and CycleOps are doing for product development is change colors, spend 2 days in SolidWorks and putting an N+1 number at the end of the part title

What function in SolidWorks improves battery life in a complex circuit?

Are you sure the cleats are Keo compatible?

about the 14 mm stack height:
– is the stack height of the pedal alone?
– or is the stack height of the entire system, meaning pedal plus cleat?
thanks!
