Quarq
Quarq powermeters are characterized by high quality production and materials. The measuring accuracy is within the range of comparable top devices with a deviation of +- 1.5%.

The data transmission of the Quarq Powermeter is carried out according to the latest standards, namely via ANT+ Sport technology. You no longer need a cumbersome cable on the bike to transfer data. In addition, this technology is very power-saving and can be used well with mobile devices. Another advantage of the Quarq powermeter is that it can be combined with various cycling computers, such as Garmin, O-Synce and all other ANT+ -enabled cycling computers.

ANT+ is a 2.4 Ghz wireless network with standardized communication between devices such as bike and power sensors, speed sensors, cadence sensors and heart rate monitors. You could call it Bluetooth for the bike. ANT+ allows not only manufacturers and producers like Quarq many possibilities to develop independent sensors and computers, but also athletes who can put together their system according to their own needs. The simple but secure battery cover allows you to change the battery of the Quarq Powermeter without any problems.

The Quarq Powermeter is a crank-based measuring system in which the measuring device is located in the crank spider. This is how the Quarq Powermeter measures power directly where it is generated
About Quarq
The first Quarq powermeter was created because the founder, Jim Meyer, wanted a powermeter for his triathlon but couldn’t find a suitable one on the market. In the meantime, Quarq offers a wide range of crank power meters, which are characterized above all by very high accuracy and very power-saving technology. As with the SRM Powermeter, the measuring technology of the Quarq Powermeter is built into the Spider. The Quarq power meters are characterized by a very accurate and robust measurement technology. Quarq power meters have been well proven in professional sports for many years. Thanks to ANT+ transmission, the Quarq Powermeter is compatible with all common bike computers and fitness watches. At XP Sport, we particularly recommend the Garmin and Wahoo cycling computers for use as a head unit with a power meter, as both have proven themselves in practice over many years. But also newcomers like the Lezyne bike computers or O-Synce bike computers are fully compatible with the Quarq powermeters.

In 2005, Jim Meyer quit his job as general manager and began training full time for triathlon. Lacking the money for a power meter, Jim simply decided to build a power measurement system himself. After several hours of soldering and wiring, the first CinQo Quarq powermeter prototype was created. A year later, the Quarq company was founded in Spearfish, South Dakota. Jim became Managing Director and Quarq developed into a successful power measurement systems company. Since October 2010 the US manufacturer Quarq offers its power measurement systems also in Germany.
