Bahrain Victorious Quietly Switching Power Meters at the Tour de France
Team Bahrain Victorious is officially partnered with ELILEE, but riders have been spotted using Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 power meter pedals at the 2026 Tour de France (and Tour de Suisse).

The Magene P515 has been one of the most requested power meters to hit the Lama Lab recently, and after two months of testing across both the PES alloy and TEO carbon cranksets, the results are in. And unlike a few recent competitors, this one actually held up well when put under pressure.

ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Update TESTED // Manufacturer Confirms Issues
Follow-up testing on a second ThinkRider PP5 with updated firmware confirms the same issues: inconsistent power, residual torque after efforts, and drift at higher wattages requiring frequent manual zeroing.

Coospo S10 Power Meter Review
A few weeks ago the ThinkRider PP5 became the cheapest spider power meter I’d ever tested at around $100 — and unfortunately it failed due to residual torque issues that caused inflated power readings after hard efforts.

The missing piece of the Favero PRO lineup has landed – the Assioma PRO RL, a Look KEO–compatible pedal built on the proven PRO spindle.

ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Review: $100 Power Meter TESTED!
The ThinkRider PP5 is one of the cheapest spider-based power meters I’ve ever tested. I paid just AU$136 (US$100). On paper it promises ±1% accuracy, ANT+ & Bluetooth, 300-hour battery life, and full left/right balance. That kind of spec at this price should shake up the market. But after deep testing against a trusted baseline, […]
