Magene P715 powermeter pedals

[gplama]

My review of these is finally up. I can't get the YouTube link working on here.... so... find it over there. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

It's a little deeper on the tech/data than other reviews to date. There's also a few changes that have recently dropped (replacement pedal bodies!). Any questions let me know over there in the comments or here. Happy to answer questions about these (and my testing, etc).

can do in depth technical review but cant post a link?
I agree on the pricing of these, the PES 505/515 found room in market's vacuum at their price point, for the 715 totally different ball game now that others have repositioned themselves. And the PSC crankset had also another benefit, arguably nicer looking than Shimano!

heh.... nope. It was throwing up a grey box on here with 'player error' and I didn't want to screen spam people if that occured for everyone.

Well my tech knowledge allow me to post a link but embedded video outside of my skillset! lol

The proprietary interface as the only option on the 515 isn't ideal (505 had a few options). TEO cranks are nice... but limited to DUB. If they made one additional SKU of the 515 with an Easton Cinch interface I'd be happier.

Yes for sure that a bi*ch. if they could sell the PM with Easton interfere at 200$ it could potentially be the market reference.

I really don't get the price of the pedals now. I paid ~£300 in November but at £500 there's other options.

YOu can get the favero one for the same price

I don't understand why they went proprietary only with the 515. It makes no sense to me. I've got a 505 with the 3 bolt GXP mount and it makes switching cranks easy.

I'm still likely to buy a Geoid PM500 for my next bike since it seems to be nearly identical to a 505 or 515 at a considerably lower price, proprietary interface or no.  At least I know the Senicx cranks it comes with are decent, since I've got them on two of my bikes and they work just fine. Any chance of a review from you in the next couple of months? I'd love to know your thoughts on it before laying my money down on it.

As I understand it the Geoid PM500 is a rebranded Magene P515. Since Shane already reviewed the P505 back in 2022, I would not think a review of PM500 or P515 are on his testing backlog.
Unfortunately Magene discontinued the S1078, S1103 and S1108 options of the P505, if you are okay with the Senix crank get the PM500 or buy the P515.
