Possibly?
I mentioned a few months back that Shimano was planning to release thier own Power Meter technology on to the market very soon and it seems that they are displaying the finished and ready to roll model in January 2013.
The unit is based in the spider of the cranks as per SRM however the addition of a very well placed sensor in the BB cups will allow pedal scan capabilities to see where any difference may lay within your pedal stroke and if there are any major inbalance between left and right legs.
Not only that but it seems that Shimano has also taken this time to release adapters for the BB30 and other "off size" that Shimano previously didn't support - great news for those that prefer Dura Ace BB or want to upgrade to the new unit.
The unit is ANT+ so will work with Garmin and other head units that use the protocol including indoor training units such as Taxc, Elite and Lemond systems that are able to record data.
Currently no news about compatibility between models yet but by looking at the images existing owners of Dura Ace products and possible the new Ultegra will beable to make the upgrades.
Now lets just see what the RRP will be!
