In this video I put the new SIGEYI AXO SL spider power meter through some solid testing out on the road, including around 15 hours of riding during the Festive 500, to see how it stacks up. While previous AXO units have tested well, this updated SL version revealed a major cadence-sensing issue that completely breaks sprint data, along with wildly inaccurate left/right balance estimates that make that metric unusable.
Are you aware that your critic of the powermeter has been addressed, and that the new firmware are as accurate as the earlier version, that you have previously tested and was impressed about.
As many are reading your posts and seeing your videos, I think its pretty important that you are following up on these things, so your review reflects the reality.
Hearsay until we see the data. And in regard to following up on tech with updates – I do this more than ANY other bike tech reviewer.
What I have to deal with it companies like Elilee releasing a multi-page press release regarding my test results, and claiming everything I identified was resolved. Further testing showed they had not fixed their product. They lied to their customers. I wasted my time re-testing and they’ve not been in communication for two months since.
Back to Sigeyi – I have had NO communication from them on this update. You’d think that’d be a priority for them, even before releasing any update. I’m willing to re-test and confirm issue resolution. I first need to know about these updates. I also need to evaluate if it’s worth my time. If not, then I’ll seek out others who have tested this update and provided verified data.
Claims of improved accuracy are easy. Data is what matters. If there’s independent testing showing the issues I documented have been resolved, I’m all ears. Until then, nothing changes.
