Pioneer would like everyone to know that their SGY-PM9100 Series Dual Leg Power Meter is now compatible with Shimano’s Dura-Ace R9100 Hollowtech II crankset. And if you already have Dura-Ace 9000 or Ultegra 6800 cranks, Pioneer can retro fit them for you with their SGY-PM9100C Power Meter Kit.

“Our technology has been put to the test, meeting durability and performance standards required by pro riders competing at the highest levels and the most adverse real world conditions. For more than three seasons, UCI WorldTour® pro teams have been riding with Pioneer’s Dual Leg Power Meter system. The new Shimano DURA-ACE R9100 power meter is manufactured to the same specifications and will deliver the same benefits and results,” said Russ Johnston, executive vice president of marketing and corporate communications for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “We are excited to expand our dual leg offerings with the highly-anticipated Shimano DURA-ACE R9100 HOLLOWTECH II crankset and are on track to be one of the first manufacturers to ship a power meter with the flagship crankset.”

All this tech talk makes us even more apprehensive about riding with power. Have to be an electrical engineer to keep all this stuff running. For the official word from Pioneer (including all the tech details), please follow the jump.

For more than three seasons, UCI WorldTour® pro teams have been riding with Pioneer’s Dual Leg Power Meter system.

SGY-PM9100 Series Dual Leg Power Meter Crankset
Pioneer’s Dual Leg Power Meter is the most advanced dual leg power meter system on the market, going beyond the standard ANT+ power metrics by measuring force in all directions at 30 degree intervals, 24 times per rotation, helping the rider develop pedaling balance and minimize power loss. When the power meter is combined with Pioneer’s SGX-CA500 GPS Cycle Computer, riders have access to HDPower Metrics for enhanced power data and analysis. The Cycle Computer with the Dual Leg Power Meter enables the rider to see comprehensive performance analysis and highly detailed data gathered from 24 points of measurement and displayed graphically in real-time on the display of the Cycle Computer, including Force Vectors and Torque Vectors graphics and Pedaling Efficiency.

The SGY-PM9100 Series Dual Leg Power Meter adds only 62 grams of weight to the original Shimano crank, making Pioneer’s system one of the lightest crank-based meters. The power meter is also compatible with ANT+® devices, including ANT+ sport watches. Riders with ANT+ computers will be able to see all ANT+ standardized power metrics supported by that computer.

· Chain ring configurations: 53/39, 52/36, 50/34
· Arm length (in millimeters): 165, 170, 172.5, 175
