I'd like to replace my Ultegra 6800 crankset with QUARQ DFour powermeter. But I don't know how to choose between BB30 and GXP versions. I have Shimano Pressfit SM-BB92-41B bottom bracket. Do I need to replace my bottom bracket or use some adapters?

Your Shimano SM-BB92-41B is a BB92 standard bottom bracket.
Quarq's page lists GXP, Press Fit GXP, BB30, Press Fit 30, BBright, BB386EVO, BB30A, PF30A as compatible bottom brackets.
I believe the Press Fit GXP from SRAM is a BB92 standard bottom bracket. See https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/bottom-bracket-standards-1#article-section-4.
So the GXP version is the one you want. It would be nice if Quarq provided a better compatibility guide.

Thank you for advice. I decided to buy the GXP version. If it's not compatible with my BB, I will replace the bottom bracket and update my comment. Jan 23, 2018 at 11:35
Finaly I ordered GXP version and SRAM GXP PressFit bottom bracket. Now all works fine. My old Shimano BB not compatible with GXP cranks.

Thanks for the feedback about how this worked out - although I'm disappointed I was wrong about the compatibility. Can I ask how was the crank not compatible with the Shimano BB bearings? Feb 5, 2018 at 18:45

While bearings from Shimano BB have the same internal diameter, bearings from Sram BB have the different. Sram bearing on non-drivetrain side has slightly smaller internal diameter. Sram bearing on drivetrain side has the same internal diameter as Shimano bearings. Feb 6, 2018 at 7:47

Very useful info - thanks. I think Park Tool's info meant that GXP PF fits into a frame designed for BB92. Feb 6, 2018 at 12:06
