Favero Assioma Duo Dual-side Power Meter Pedals

Well, I would not say a solid 5-stars but maybe a solid 4.5 for sure. They do appear well made and the installation process could not have been any easier. In fact, the reviews I read and instructions were perfectly on the bullseye for that aspect. If you have installed any pedals on your bike, these are no different. I have heard things like the brains central of the unit is rather unsightly and large. I really have no issue with what Favero has done and the design. The fact they are resin filled with no rubber plug to have water ingress is the biggest plus. The estimated longevity as far as the battery is concerned will outlive most riders and if not, and you get the predicted number of years before natural battery failure, you won! Go buy another set and start ... MoreWell, I would not say a solid 5-stars but maybe a solid 4.5 for sure. They do appear well made and the installation process could not have been any easier.

The estimated longevity as far as the battery is concerned will outlive most riders and if not, and you get the predicted number of years before natural battery failure, you won! Go buy another set and start over. As to the clipping in and out......well, I have no issue with the Look Keo cleat platform. It does however take some time to get use to the new cleat format. I came from Time Iclic pedals and cleats and they were some of the easiest I have ever done and my preferred. However, after half a dozen rides, I am learning the pedal and the new cleat. Unclipping is as easy as any to me. My biggest issue with the pedal is the back weight of the pedal. I do wish they were more balanced as when you need to clipfast crossing a intersection it can be quite concerning! But once again, you have to get use to the new location and layout of this pedal. The metrics and all the data it reads is impressive. Now let's add a caveat to my review.....I have nothing to compare these pedals to. These are my first power meter pedals so as to + or - in a apples to apples side by side with others like Garmin Vector or SRM Looks or others, I just don't have that expertise in those. But what I have read and seen personally, they seem to be working as intended. I believe anyone looking to get into power meters and needing to read the metrics should really take a look at these. My only other concern has been every time I went to ride the crankarm setting (I have 175 mm crank arms), it would default to 172.5 and if I did not check it prior, I rode with that default setting. I have kept inputting that variable and the last time I just activated the pedals and read the settings on my phone app it seemed to be holding the 175 I inputted. We shall see. Overall, very happy. Longevity, we shall see.

I had been hesitant to buy a power meter for a long time, mainly due to the high cost and issues with reliability among some of the market leaders. Took the plunge with these and have not been disappointed. They have taken my training and racing to a new level, are easy to switch between bikes and very easy to set up. Numbers are consistent with what I would expect, and have had no issues with reliability. Was particularly attracted by the fact the battery on these pedals is integrated, resulting in a sealed unit and therefore no concerns about water ingress. Only slight gripe is the weighting on the pedals makes it slightly difficult to clip on than my old SPD-SL's, which can be a pain at the start of a crit or TT, but I've got used to it pretty quickly.In ... MoreI had been hesitant to buy a power meter for a long time, mainly due to the high cost and issues with reliability among some of the market leaders.

If you're hesitating like I did, don't - this is a purchase you won't regret!

They are accurate with a good battery life. I have no idea how long the battery lasts. Each time I suspect it might be about time, they are still well over 50%.Their app isn’t crazy sophisticated by any means but gives just what you need to maintain them. Shipping to the states takes a bit, but that’s to be expected.Easily pairs with my Garmin and provides almost everything the Garmin meters provide. I believe platform offset is the only metric missing. Hopefully someone can correct me if I’m mistaken.
