I’ve been testing the Magene P715 Power Meter Pedals for over a month now. As many of you know, I usually run MTB cleats even on my road bikes—but since the P715 is road-specific, I had to get a new pair of road shoes from Bont just to make this review and vlog possible.
The version I have is the P715-K, where K stands for Look Keo cleat compatibility. There’s also a P715-S version for Shimano SPD-SL cleats. Even back when I used road cleats more often, I personally preferred Look pedals because the engagement feels more solid to me. The downside, of course, is that Look-compatible cleats and accessories tend to be pricier and less commonly available—though thankfully, they're now easier to find online.

Pedal-Based Power: What’s the Difference?
My main power meter is spider-based, so switching to pedal-based gave me an interesting comparison. I noticed that pedal-based power meters are generally more responsive, simply because they detect force right where it matters—at the pedal. Since your foot is directly connected to the pedal body, the system registers torque slightly faster than spider-based systems.
Another great feature of the P715 is its optimized Q-factor and low stack height. Some power meter pedals tend to be bulky and create an unnaturally wide stance, which can affect biomechanics. The P715 maintains a Q-factor of 55 mm and a stack height of just 13 mm, which helps preserve a more natural pedaling position. Lower stack height also means improved pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
Battery Life & Flexibility
Battery life is impressive—120+ hours per charge, with a magnetic charging interface that takes around 3 hours to top up. The rechargeable system is convenient and sustainable for long-term use.
If you’re someone who rides multiple bikes, pedal-based power meters like the P715 are a smart choice. They're easy to move between bikes—just install, calibrate, and go. No need to swap cranksets or wheels.
Pricing & Availability
The best part? The price.
At an SRP of just PHP 28,895, the Magene P715 offers dual-sided power measurement at nearly half the cost of other leading options on the market. That makes it one of the most affordable yet feature-packed power meter pedals available today.

Final Thoughts
I honestly don’t have any complaints so far. The Magene P715 performs well, offers great data accuracy, and comes at a price that’s hard to beat.
That said, I do hope Magene eventually releases an SPD-compatible or MTB-specific version of the pedal. A lot of riders—including myself—prefer SPD pedals for road bikes, especially with the rise of gravel riding, where MTB-style engagement and walkability are more practical.
If you're looking for an affordable, accurate, and easy-to-use power meter, the Magene P715 is definitely worth considering. Watch out for my full vlog review dropping this afternoon!
