Stages is better than Vector S in the recent Bike Radar test


We already know that Stages power meters are good products. Now the industry guru have tested it and show that it is superior than Vector and dare I say Power Tap. The figure it produces are very close to those on the SRM, even considering that Stages only measure the left crank power.

What still puzzles me is the complaint of battery life. I have ridden in the rain on the Stages and you need to wipe the unit down and even take the battery out. But I have only change battery 4 times in 18 months and last battery lasts from throughout the summer. I am sure there is 200 hours of life in one battery. Main thing is to update the firmware frequently.
