Look for one that says PowerTap 2.4 SL Wireless on the box

The comic in the UK (Cycling Weekly) gave it 10/10 in a short review in the 21.08.208 edition. They said:

"Having used all the power systems available, the PowerTap is the most user friendly and the 2.4 wireless the best of the best. There may be more expensive options, but after just one ride, the SL 2.4 is clearly the best if you don't have a sports science degree"

That said, in the end, you pick the one you like best that comes within your (or your team's ) budget and does the job! They all have pros and cons that have been docmented many many tmes by many many knowledgeable and experienced users, Google will provide!

Cheers,

PBUK
