and upgrades over the pc7?

Last I heard was early March from SRM in Co Springs.

Possibly the laziest post ever.

"Talked to SRM in New Zealand by phone today and they confirmed PC8 production is starting in March with release scheduled for April. They have only a few athletes at the TDU on them now. "

From a post on Tokyo CC.

It isn't a actual ship date but some additional news.

SRM NEARS LAUNCH OF PC8

Thanks dude!

Interesting to read that the delay, in large part, had to do with the interface buttons. Seems like such a mut point, but clearly it wasn't for them.

SRM in NZ said they plan shipping them in May- that was in response to my warranty enquiry

im having terrible issues with my pc7, i download the software to my macbook then connect the pc7 and it wont read the files i keep getting an error message

SRM says "Finally Released"


I haven't seen dates or prices yet but at least it is some news.

cool! that's kinda exciting!

No...it is not ready yet. Wait until you see it on an entire world tour team's bikes before getting too excited.

(I am an SRM sealer and just as excited as anybody for one of these for personal use.)

Yeah true I just heard rumor says all slot are fulfilled by pros and press so it will be in the market around September?

And no pricing announced

euro price will be 650€, so that is about the same as current model.

Cheers

And my contact told me they will start shipping them by the end of March, but let's see...

I spoke with SRM USA this morning about the release of the PC8. I was told that the parts from Germany were shipping to SRM USA on April 1st and then their production schedule has them shipping out 50 per week to the people that pre-ordered them. They have around 200 pre-orders at this time.

"4 more weeks"................

http://www.powermeter24.com/blog/srm-powercontrol-8-im-review/


German review says in the last paragraph that the GPS isn't perfect and suggests to continue to use the ANT+ speed sensor.


translation via Google translator:
"Even when "scour" the PC8 and the features provided by the supplied Device Agent I was pleasantly surprised. The menu navigation, both on the device itself, as well as in the software is very intuitive and significantly improved compared to the PC7. In addition, the wide range of options regarding the displayed workout metrics (power, pulse, TSS, ...) and the free disposition on the screen, almost all needs for the athlete leaves.
Also, the pair with the ANT + enabled power meters and sensors for cadence and speed, as well as the switch to another profile bike was quick and easy. Only the actual chest strap Suunto read will not pair with the PC8, what does it matter that the ANT protocol is no longer supported. Additional cost, the new Power Control is supplied with its own ANT + compatible chest strap of SRM. What I noticed when driving with the PC8, is that the GPS function is really only for recording the route. The displayed speed makes partially but very strong deviations clearly that stand out even without a comparison value by another cycling computer. Therefore, you should continue to do in terms of speed on the Suunto speed sensor. Otherwise, the new Power Control works with the known precision and reliability of its predecessor and even offers a few extras, like the very successful, graphical representation of the amount indicated on the display."
