Optimus has new version of the Crux in the making, the Crux Light. Apparently the folding mechanism has been removed to shave some weight. They also have a few new pot sets coming out. Here is a video.

From looking at the image of the EtaPower stove I think the burner looks alot like my old Primus Micro burner (Not the latest version) that weights 89g. The pot looks like my Primus LiTECH Trek Kettle that weights 255g. Some very simple math gives a total of 344g.
So if I were to switch to the new EtaPower Express I would gain a windscreen (something I already miss today), a heat exchanger that reduces the boil time with 1.5 minutes. Best of all I would only add 74g (The express weights 418g) to my packing, nice..

As reported before, Primus will be releasing a new lightweight variant of their EtaPower stove called Express. Now the nices guys over at Trail Gear Blog has uncovered some more info.
The stove will have a packed weight of 418g and a boil time of 2.5 minutes. It will be interesting to see this stove go head to head with the MSR Reactor and the JetBoil stoves.

Next year Swedish outdoor gear manufacturer Primus will be releasing a Multi fuel version of their EtaPower stove, that will run on gas, benzine, petroleum and kerosone. The name of the multi fuel version will be “EtaPowerTM FM”.
There will also be a new product called “EtaPowerTM Trail”. This will be low priced set with a stove for 2-3 persons.
Finally there will be a small lightweight version called “EtaPowerTM Express” suitable for 1-2 persons.

I have noticed that alot of people are looking for information about Primus EtaPower stove, so I though that I would help out a bit and collect some links and videos.
But first some information from Primus local Swedish competitor Optimus, I spoke to one of their representives a few weeks back. He claimed that even though the EtaPower stove has a windshield and heat exchanger the burners in the Optimus Crux and Stella will require less fuel due to higher efficiancy. Since the Crux and Stella is lighter than the EtaPower, combining one of them with the pots from EtaPower should make a great pair… I don’t know what is true, but a test would be interesting.
