The Quarq Prime Cranksets will be available in carbon (above) and forged aluminum (below), whereas RED uses Exogram hollow carbon arms. The new cranksets will be distinguishable by a decal indicating “Power Ready” on the arm and laser-etched Power Ready on the spider. These cranksets don’t come with the DZero spider power meter but will allow for an easy after-market install by replacing only the spider, similar to SRM and Specialized. Quarq expects this will provide more consumers the opportunity to easily add a power meter to their new bikes that often don’t come with a power meter.

The soon-to-be released DZero power meter spider will integrate with their new DZero power meter platform which Quarq describes as “everything that we know how to do in a power meter, done all at once.” They have released a cryptic video along with a forum thread DZero. Slowtwitch will have more details when it is released at Eurobike 2016, including any upgrade options for current Quarq owners.
