WRECKED & Rated MBUK
HOW WE TEST THE KIT
It starts with a detailed product check in the workshop. Next we hit the trails… hard! We test in real riding conditions, incorporating feedback from multiple testers, and don’t stop until we have the complete picture.
WHY OUR TESTS ARE THE BEST!
Our test team is made up of some of the most respected bike and kit testers in the world. We have unrivalled knowledge and experience, and spend a vast amount of time making sure we get it right. We tell you the truth and aren’t influenced by PR or advertisers.
ABOUT OUR TEST TEAM
Our technical-editor-in-chief, Rob Weaver, gets new products in as soon as they’re available and coordinates all the testing through our vastly experienced band of reviewers.
Rotor INspider power meter £585 (£799 inc. crank, axle chainring & bumper)
power meter mounts directly to a number of Rotor’s alloy and carbon crank arms to give combined left and right-leg power data (on paper making it more accurate than one-sided power meters, where the output of the other leg is only estimated). Fitting was fairly pain-free, although we had to play around with the BB and axle spacers to get the deeper-than-normal spider to avoid fouling the chainstays on our full-suspension XC bike. This left the chainline a couple of millimetres further out than optimal, but the shifting seemed unaffected. The device beams to your phone or GPS unit via ANT+ or Bluetooth, and we had no issues with connectivity or calibration. Charging is done via a proprietary magnetic connector, and we’re yet to run down
