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!
