Wahoo Powrlink Zero pedals

£549.99 single-sided, £849.99 dual-sided, wahoofitness.com

Wahoo acquired pedal brand Speedplay around the same time that Wuhan acquired the coronavirus. Despite the ensuing disruption caused by the pandemic, the sports tech company has used the time to produce the Powrlink Zero pedals.

This is the first power meter in Speedplay’s lollipop pedal guise and looks almost identical to the standard Speedplay Zero pedal. The cleats are cross-compatible and the only changes to the pedal bodies are a 2mm increase in spindle length and a 1.5mm increase in stack height.

There are single and dual-sided versions. Both track power and cadence, and the dual-sided option records left-right power balance too. Wahoo claims +/-1% accuracy on the pedals’ data and those numbers are said to be unaffected by large changes in elevation and temperature. LED indicators show Bluetooth and ANT+ connections and when the battery needs charging, which the brand says should be after 75 hours of use.

The additional tech doesn’t add much extra weight. Wahoo says a single-sided pair (right-side power, left-side dummy) weighs 250g, just 28g more than a pair of Speedplay Zeros. On our scales, the dual-sided pair weigh in at 270g.
