With Eurobike in full swing, Quarq has lifted the veil on its new DZero range of power meters. Named after the DZero detector and experiment — a worldwide search for subatomic clues about the building blocks of the universe — the new range of power meters get a new strain gauge design and revised circuitry for better performance, and a simplified product range.

More accurate and more compatible
According to Quark, the DZero has 150 documented improvements over its previous units, but the biggest update comes on the circuit board which has received a total redesign for improved accuracy and an extended battery life — claimed at 200 hours of riding time.
Quark has also switched from a red status LED to a multi-color LED to offer a more concrete measurement of the power meter's health.

Improvements have been made too to Quarq's manufacturing techniques, which includes the use of robots for additional repeatability and a better build quality overall.
The DZero's spider has been optimised for compatibility with more bikes and will now work with BB386EVO (except for the models with forged aluminium cranks), as well as all the other bottom bracket standards that previous units have worked with. MTB cranksets are now available in Boost spacing too.
