SRM's new spindle-mounted power meter just got revealed at the unwrapping of pro team Bahrain-Merida's new bikes in Croatia, and it looks set to be one of the lightest options available on the market.
SRM has a history of working with a number of exotic crank manufacturers including THM, and although SRM claims it is producing these cranks, they appear at least visually to be another collaboration with the ultra-lightweight German carbon specialists.

SRM claims that the carbon version of the cranks weigh in at a ridiculously light 99g per crank arm, which should make for a competitively light complete package when paired with with the same spider as is used on its Dura-Ace power meter.
The current prototype weighs 599g, with final production weight still to be determined. For context, the Shimano 11-speed SRM power meter weighs 768g, and a Quarq Red power meter is 778g.
SRM also claims that the cranks are its “most compatible system yet”, with the spindle-mounted power meter unit making for easy swaps.
