Power meter specialist Quarq has unveiled two ‘bold new power meters that pack enhanced accuracy and versatility into sleek, unified chassis.’
ELSA 10R
As noted by Quarq, the top-flight ELSA 10R (US$1995 / €1787) brings fresh crank lengths, unyielding strength and Power Balance, and shuns weight. A subatomic spider and SRAM Exogram hollow carbon crank arms generate just 735g (172.5mm, GXP, 53/39).
Offering a boon for bike fit and fast finishing triathletes, ELSA 10R also comes in lengths from 162.5mm to 177.5mm.
RIKEN 10R
The ‘rock-steady’ RIKEN 10R (US$1595 / €1428) features durable, integrated electronics, a CR2032 battery and improved clearance for oversize bottom brackets.
Quarq notes that ELSA 10R and RIKEN 10R are accurate to +/-1.5% and employ Omnical, which separates power measurement from chainring selection. Here, riders can swap from road to TT ‘rings without recalibration. Plus, ‘an LED and visible ANT+ ID make installation and operation a breeze.’
ELSA 10R is available now. RIKEN 10R will be available on 22 February.
