From your training bike to your best bike to your static trainer, your power meter comes with you.

Zone DPMX measures your power (watts) and your cadence (rpm) as you ride, and sends the values wirelessly to your standard ANT+ bike computer for display and recording.    

Everything is on your shoes, and installation is as easy as fitting new cleats. There's nothing on the bike, not even a magnet, so you have your own power meter whatever bike you choose to ride. That means you get consistent power measurement and recording every time you ride. No more frustration because your power meter is on your other bike. No more wondering whether different power meters are calibrated the same.

• Wearable - Nothing on the bike.
• Portable - Comes with you on any bike you ride.
• ANT+ - Use with standard ANT+ wireless bike computers.
• Installation - As easy as fitting new cleats.
• Affordable - Get value every time you ride, on any bike.

We've done all the research and development, we've done all the production preparation and planning, and now it's time to manufacture the first batch and deliver to you.

There are 2 versions of the power meter.

• Zone DPMX Single measures power on your left shoe only (upgradable to dual in the future).

• Zone DPMX Dual measures power on both shoes.

Do you wonder why you don't seem to be getting much better even though you ride long miles each week? There's a reason. Focused training will help, and for that you need to measure power.     

• To perform better you must increase your power output. To increase power you must measure it.
• Power measurement is proven to allow you to get more benefit in less training time.
• Next to competition results, power measurement is the best objective measure of riding fitness and improvement. Measures such as heart rate are not enough.
• Power measurement is scientifically recognised as a critical part of training to be a better bike rider.
• Most cycling coaches recommend or even require their riders to use power meters.

Under your shoe, in your Speedplay® Zero cleat, the special sensor plate measures force, and on top of your shoe the pod measures motion. The pod uses all this to calculate power (watts) and cadence (rpm).    

If you have a Zone DPMX Dual then the pods on each shoe talk to each other to calculate the total power and the left/right balance. If you have a Zone DPMX Single then the pod doubles its power calculation to get your total power. The power and cadence are transmitted via ANT+ , and are picked up by your ANT+ bike computer or smartphone for display and recording.

Every movement of each of your shoe is measured by tiny motion sensors inside the pod. It recognises when you are pedalling and when you are not. Your shoe is locked to your pedal, so measuring movement of your shoe allows the pod to calculate movement of your pedal and crank. 100 times per second the pod knows exactly what angles your crank and pedal are at, and how quickly they are rotating and rocking back and forth.    

Watch the Zone DPMX Dual in action in the video, measuring power (watts), cadence (rpm) and left/right power balance (%). Values are sent wirelessly to a standard ANT+ bike computer for display and recording. You can see power and cadence reacting to the rider's efforts, and you can see power balance change when the rider unclips one shoe. Finally, you can see what happens when the Zone DPMX Dual is reduced to a Zone DPMX Single by removing one pod.  

 Someone asked us why we worked so hard on the Zone DPMX power meter, and we thought you might be interested in a few of the reasons we put in our list of "why?":    

• Because we can make a better power meter. 
• Because measuring power is about the rider, not the bike.
• Because people told us it couldn’t be done. 
• Because we know it can be done.
• Because we believe in doing things right, whatever it takes.
• Because it takes hard work to create simple results.
• Because high technology products should “just work”.
• Because great design looks simple.

Zone DPMX is available in two different versions: Single and Dual.    

Zone DPMX Single is fitted to your left shoe only, and measures power and cadence from your left foot. The power measured is automatically multiplied by 2 to give an estimate of the total power from both your feet. It is upgradable to the full dual-sided functionality. The upgrade is not yet available, but will be at some time in the future.

Zone DPMX Dual is fitted to both shoes. It measures total power, cadence, and left/right power balance to give you full accurate power measurement.    

Your Zone DPMX Single includes:    

• A left side sensor plate & base. 
• One pod. 
• Charging dock, with room for two pods. 
• USB wall charger, with international wall plugs. 
• Torque screwdriver for correct tightening of cleat screws. 
• Quick Start guide. 

Your Zone DPMX Dual includes:    

• Two sensor plates & bases (left plus right). 
• Two pods. 
• Charging dock, with room for two pods. 
• USB wall charger, with international wall plugs. 
• Torque screwdriver for correct tightening of cleat screws. 
• Quick Start guide. 

To use the Zone DPMX Single or the Zone DPMX Dual you must have the following:    

• Speedplay® Zero pedals and cleats.
• Shoes that have the standard 3-hole pattern for fixing cleats (Speedplay 4-hole pattern will not work).
• Shoes that have at least one strap (shoes with only lacing will be difficult to fit).
• An ANT+ compatible bike computer or smartphone that can receive and understand ANT+ power and cadence.

Installation is as simple as changing your cleats. When fitting your cleats to your shoes just use the Zone DPMX sensor plate instead of the Speedplay® black plastic adapter plate, and slide the Zone DPMX base onto your front shoe strap. You're done!    

It’s a simple swap – leave out the Speedplay adapter plates and use the Zone DPMX sensor plates instead. Moving the power meter to a new pair of shoes is just as easy.

We've put a lot of time and resources into getting the Zone DPMX to a finished design and preparing it for production, but we need your help to get it over the line and deliver it.    

Almost all the production tooling and samples are completed and tested. The electronic boards, the plastic enclosures, and the software are complete, and pre-production samples have been in test for more than a year. During that time a major focus of our work was on design improvements to the force sensor plate, and now we are working on some refinements to the production tooling and processes associated with that part of the power meter.

All product development and production preparation to date is fully paid for. Your contributions will be used to fund the final tooling adjustments, final production planning, and to manufacture your Zone DPMX power meter.
