XCADEY Ventus Easton Lite Crankset Power Meter (Black)
ventuseaston110BCD-4S165CL
A carbon crank-based power meter for the rider who wants direct, dual-leg power data without switching away from a familiar Easton-style crank feel, with enough battery life to go weeks between charges.
Overview
The Ventus is XCADEY's carbon-crank power meter, built around a 110BCD 4-bolt spider that reads force at the crank rather than at the pedal or hub. That placement is a deliberate choice: crank-based measurement sits closer to where power is actually applied, and it keeps the system entirely out of the way of wheel swaps, pedal changes, or shoe cleat setups.
The crank arms themselves are carbon fibre, finished in black, with a 110BCD 4-bolt spider that's compatible with Shimano-pattern chainrings. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is built into the spider, rated for up to 150 hours of ride time per charge, and the unit talks to head units, training apps, and the XCADEY companion app over both ANT+ and Bluetooth. An IP67 rating means it's sealed against the rain and road spray that any exposed crank-based system has to live with.
This is the right power meter for a rider who's already decided they want a crank-based system and doesn't want to pay Shimano or SRAM first-party prices to get one - decent accuracy, dual connectivity, and a battery that doesn't demand constant attention.
Why You'll Like It
Crank-based, not pedal-based
Measuring at the crank spider means there's nothing hanging off your pedals to catch on a kerb or swap out every time you change shoes - the power meter stays with the bike, not the shoe.
Dual-protocol broadcasting
ANT+ and Bluetooth run simultaneously, so it pairs cleanly with a Garmin or Wahoo head unit and a phone-based app like Zwift or TrainingPeaks at the same time, with no mode-switching.
Long battery life
Up to 150 hours per charge means most riders are looking at weeks, not days, between charges - genuinely low-maintenance for a power meter.
Sealed against the elements
An IP67 rating means monsoon rides and road spray aren't a reason to think twice about riding with it fitted.
Shimano-pattern compatibility
The 110BCD 4-bolt spider accepts standard Shimano-pattern chainrings, so you're not locked into a proprietary chainring ecosystem to use it.
Who Is It For?
This is built for a rider who's moved past casual training and wants real numbers - power zones for structured workouts, pacing data for longer efforts, or just a way to track fitness progress objectively instead of by feel. It suits someone upgrading an existing bike with a crank swap rather than someone buying power data as an afterthought.
In Indian riding conditions, the IP67 sealing and the 165mm arm length (common on mid-to-larger frames) make this a sensible pick for riders training through monsoon season or on routes with inconsistent road surfaces, where a more exposed or less water-resistant system would be a bigger risk.
It also works well as a second power meter for someone who wants a backup or a dedicated indoor-trainer bike, given the price sits well below first-party crank-based systems from the major groupset brands.
Good to Know
Pair the crank with the XCADEY app first to get a baseline calibration before your first ride - a zero-offset check before each ride keeps the numbers consistent over time.
Because this is a 110BCD 4-bolt spider, stick to Shimano-pattern chainrings in the 34T or larger range for the cleanest shifting performance; very small chainrings aren't supported by this spider pattern.
Charge the unit fully before your first few rides so you get an accurate read on real-world battery life for your riding style and climate.
