Product news: Quarq with new power meters for Shimano and Specialized

July 31, 2017 by Florian Nowak

Market: With the new DZero-based power meters from Quarq, the aim is to increase the compatibility of the power meters in order to give even more cyclists the opportunity to use a high-quality power meter. With the new models DZero Specialized and DFour91, the Quarq Spinder can now also be used with the new S-Works carbon cranksets and the Shimano Dura-Ace R9100.

With over 10 years of experience, Quarq has grown together with SRAM to become a real force in power measurement technology. Both models come with features such as dual Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+ wireless data transmission, Quarq's latest measurement technology and the Qalvin BLE app. There's also an AxCad accelerometer for cadence and a 2-year warranty. The easily replaceable CR2032 battery offers a great advantage. The power meters are manufactured at Quarq's ISO 9001 certified facility in Spearfish, USA, where the PowerMeter, ShockWiz, Qollector and the QuarqNet and QuarqRace Intelligence software platforms are manufactured.

The GXP and BB30 versions are compatible with every popular bottom bracket including BBright and BB386EVO. If you already have a power meter with the 8-bolt interface, you can update it with the DFour91 Spider.

The traditional 5-arm spider is compatible with 2013-2017 Specialized S-Works Carbon Road crank arms. A special locking ring tool is required for installation, however, since the spinder of the conventional crank simply has to be replaced. The DZero will be available in 110 BCD and 130 BCD.



Quarq Dzero features:

  • Bluetooth low energy technology
  • ANT+ wireless data transmission
  • AxCad - no cadence magnet required
  • 10K temperature compensation
  • Battery - CR2032, 200 hours of battery life, change without tools
  • OmniCal - Swap chainrings without affecting accuracy
  • 2 years warranty
  • IPX7 waterproof rating
  • Accuracy - within 1,5%, measurement of both legs
