They're finally here. https://www.magene.com/en/power-meters/220-p715-pedal-based-power-meter.html
500USD. No europe pricing yet. Available in both SPD-SL and Look KEO. Only 8 grams heavier than assiomas
Pretty good on paper, let's see if they're as reliable as assiomas
Looking forward to that GPLama test! :D
Expensive compared to the spindles, wondering what Ali price will be with coupons :-)
I'd rather buy two P505s than pedal based power meters.

I've come to the same conclusion. The 24mm PES crank will work well with basically anything, is accurate and consistent, is ridiculously cheap and allows me to use my preferred Shimano pedals. While pedals are easier to move between bikes, a crank is really not much harder.
If the new assiomas drop the pods and don't add too much to the price, these could be DOA.
I got my current Assiomas (dual sided) for £400 so not sure what the USP is here.

Not everyone gets "the best" all the time, shimano assiomas are WIDE.

Most people get 'the best' when the price is the same, though.
I just got some of the pedals, the cranks and the GPS and radar from Magene. Been testing them all and so far super impressed.

I know they have been out. Where do I get the THAT cheap?!!?!?

Yeah whatever that deal is, it's like for one pair. Not dual sided
Any reviews?
I've been riding these for a couple of months now. no issues or complaints.
I'm not a tech tester, I don't 'test' products. I buy to use, if it works it stays, if not I moan. I've not compared it to any other readings, but the readings I'm getting look sensible. I've been switching them between 2 bikes without issue.
Is there any plan to make these also for SPD gravel/mtb cleats?
My set just arrived I got put on the bike last weekend. Did two 150km rides over the weekend. The numbers look proper comparing to Faveros or the P505. This week I start another training block so we will see how they operate under those conditions.
Wonderin if pedal body could be changed to SPD?

Any news on that? or has anyone done that yet?
Honestly kinda surprised they havent released an spd version

The external pod is the problem. It might not allow enough clearance between a SPD shoe/cleat. It'll also get knocked around a lot off-road. I did the Assoima DUO SPD hack a while ago and needed to modify my shoe for clearance... and the pod on those got dinged up a lot (although it still worked fine).

That makes a lot of sense. Perhaps in version 2. Thanks Lama, helpful as always!

The SPD-SL version exists now. It's on Taobao though.
P715S:
Edit: Also is an option on Aliexpress too.

They said SPD (the mountain bike cleats), not SPD SL (road)
Is the Q factor of the SPD-SL version the same as on Look, or is it wider (like Assioma Duo-shi)?

The q-factors are the same. 55mm.
Yes, the product description indicates compatibility with SPD-SL https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010472291880.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3FSD22v)

I should write this as a heads-up in case anyone decides to order from Taobao (probably in China, to save money etc whatever).
These pedals are what I presume to be region locked. I asked the seller if it was possible for me to purchase them in China and bring them back to Canada, and they said no. So I can assume that their power-meters are region-locked sadly. I gather that the Aliexpress storefront is where they sell their products to the west. Maybe it's different for their bike computers, but that's another topic.
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).
https://youtu.be/VyQj0ZzByz4?si=cVBBbph4LFdHMA4b
can do in depth technical review but cant post a link? :D
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.
