Quarq SRAM Red Power Meter Crank Arms BB30

You've been hearing about the benefits of training with a power meter from your ride buddies for a few years now, and we don't blame you if you've found it exhausting to sort through the plethora of hyperbole from manufacturers claiming to have the best power meters on the market. For whatever reason you've found yourself here, looking at Quarq's SRAM Red BB30 Power Meter Crank Arms, and we can say that if you'd like to blend a self sponsored price tag with pro level training functionality, this power meter is the place to start. Any power meter will employ a slightly different thinking mechanism to actually measure watts, and in the case of the Red Power Meter, the thinking is carried out by five strain gauges strategically arranged throughout the Exogram Hollow spider.

Quarq decided to make them ANT compatible as well, so you won't have to deal with swapping out head units or wearables to adapt the crank arms to your existing setup. Taking into account that most of us have a stronger leg, the SRAM Red crank arms use proprietary Power Balance technology to chart the power you're generating in both crank arms separately, giving you the advantage of being able to analyze weak spots in each leg as you ride familiar climbs and tackle grueling interval sets.

One of the most notable features of the Red crank arms is their 10k dynamic temperature compensation feature, which was developed to address power meters' weakness in the face of rapidly rising or falling temperatures.
