Reviews over the
Stages Dura Ace 9000
4 / 5
Simple, effective and light
I really rate the stages power meters, having had the ultegra one for several years. When the new bike came with Dura Ace didn't hesitate to upgrade to this model. Minimal setup and giving vital data straight out the box for a mere 20g weight penalty.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Excellent
Fit's easily and is a simple to setup. It paired to my Garmin unit without any hiccups. It's too early to tell whether it will stand the test of time but I'm happy with it so far.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very good powermeter and cheap(ish) option
Great powermeter with consistent readings. It's easy to install meaning you can swap between bikes quickly. Competitively priced compared to some of the other brands on the market. I would give it 10/10 if it was better at resisting water ingress. Even the 2nd generation model still does let water into the battery compartment which flattens the battery over night. Top tip - Using Krystal grease on the battery compartment seal helps limit this and keep things dry!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good product - ideal for serious training
Best value power meter and the newer mark 2 version seems more robust than previous. Only downside is the range of ANT+ signal when using on Zwift - ok if usb dongle is within 60 cm of the crank, then it'll work ok.
