Our recommendation:
Go for power2max classic if…
- You aren’t worried about saving the last gram but want to save $200
- Don’t plan to use compact aero chain rings
- Don’t have a Cannondale, SRAM, or Specialized crankset
Go for Type S if…
- Weight is a priority for you
- You want to have the most elegant and compact solution
- You want to use compact aero chain rings
- You ride a BB386EVO frame
- You have an existing Cannondale, SRAM or Specialized that is compatible
Have fun choosing your power2max!
