Nexga S1

Does anyone have any experience with this? Have seen it pop up in a few places, and as the prop power meter for Passquest and Stone when they are showing their rings. Granted that at this stage, Chinese PMs are a dime-a-dozen, but the specs on this one look pretty good.

Haven't seen it so far and the master mind of power meters, aka GPLAMA, has nothing on his channel as far as I know.

Once he approves it, it would be an attractive option but I'm actually concerned about the charging port. An IPx7 rating appeals nice but riding in the wet requires more.
IPx7 specs the gentle submersion for 30 minutes, resulting in an even pressure on the cover. Riding at high speeds in the rain is very different...
Yet the appeal of USB-C charging is quite tempting.

I've had my eyes on it for months and have discussed it with GPLama - he doesn't see himself spending that much on what he feels would likely be of the same quality as the leoseek one losing calibration after a sprint.
If you are patient, I promise I will pick one up for my next build this summer when I can ride bikes again
available here by the way - https://cyclegears.net/products/nexga-s1-powermeter

Looks like these will cost around AU$500. Factoring in cranks, rings, etc, that's not cheap.

If I buy one before attending Shanghai Cycle and it doesn't work, do you think I can return it to them in person? :)

"Shipping isn’t available in the country you selected."

Well.... I can't order one direct from them.  >:(

You could try here, Shane:

Bit cheaper ($471 at time of writing) and free shipping!

The unit has been released on PandaPodium as well, quite attractive price with US$299.
If only the grand master of power meter could enlighten us mortals if the produced numbers and marketing claims are real.

Would love to know if we can expect some review anytime soon.

i would buy a Favero pedal. or 2.
It's hard to make these things accurate, at scale, reliably. That nexga thing has a million different interfaces, and that's just one pseudo brand that didnt exist last week. The probability things go wrong is so much higher than using an established product from an established manufacturer that has 1 or 2 SKUs. From experience, you want a power meter that's reliable. I wouldn't cheap out on that. It's incredibly irritating to have power meter issues.
There was even a Pogi interview where he straight up said he trained a lot with HR because his shimano PM was beyond useless.

Does that make it the cheapest place to get, as well as an endorsement from them?

Sorry, but why risk and pay for this 290€ when you can get Force E1 spider for 310€, even less used.
Edit: 270€ on bike-components, if somebody needs.  ;)

Nothing to report here. As soon as I have one in my hands (and then on the bike), I can get to work reporting back how it holds up.

Because of using Shimano Chain rings, a 24 spindle and already having a carbon crank set with Easton mount....

Interesting! The results look promising and the readings after the 1200W sprint are matching the Assiomas.

Don't want to sound like a paid influencer, but at this price point why not get p2max? Any interface you want, 2 years warranty, produced in Europe and reliable as a swiss watch.
