As pedal-based power meters evolve, they are bringing new levels of flexibility to rider’s training. Power pedals like Favero’s Assioma series are opening up meaningful data-driven training to a wider range of riders.

How? Assioma’s interchangeable pedal body design and a more accessible price point mean more riders can unlock power-based training without having to choose which bike, and which training rides the record and which rides they’ll be forced to ride without power.

Making every ride count

As any coach or good training plan will tell you, consistency a key element to maximizing the potential of a training plan. That includes consistent and reliable data collection and monitoring. Making one power pedal that can follow you from road season to gravel, or from gravel to mountain bike training, enables riders to make every ride count as they try to achieve their full potential.

Personally, I now spend most of my time on either a mountain bike or gravel bike. That’s made moving the Assioma PRO MX from my cross country whip to my gravel bike, where I spend many longer off-season hours, quick and easy. But if you’re moving from road to gravel, Favero makes it just as easy to measure power consistently between bikes.

One sensor, multiple pedal bodies

How does Favero make one set of power pedals work for every bike and every ride?

The entire power meter system — strain gauges, electronics, rechargeable battery — lives inside a sensor spindle. Since all the electronics are contained in the spindle, you can switch between SPD cleats and Shimano SPD-SL or Look Keo cleats by switching just the pedal body. Favero’s Assioma PRO RS, PRO RL  and PRO MX pedal bodies are all interchangeable so one set of power pedals can measure power on every bike.

Power pedals that get better with you

After releasing the Assioma PRO MX, Favero didn’t sit back and leave it to riders to get better. The Italian brand is still hard at work making its power pedals better. The latest update is a massive increase to battery life. Favero’s streamlined how the Assioma PRO power pedals work, allowing them to get an impressive 160 hours battery life out of a single charge. That battery life update is not just for new pedals, either. The running update is available as a firmware update to existing Favero customers, too.

Taking regular and frequent charging out of the equation isn’t just a matter of convenience. It’s a matter of performance. It means that, if you’re as forgetful as I am, you’re far less likely to be caught with power meter pedals that run out of juice mid-ride. I won’t remember to charge every part of my bike every ride and I’m not likely to remember every other ride, either. But even I can remember to charge a pair of power meter pedals once every couple of weeks!

Strain gauges that stay safe from weather

Favero uses a design that positions force sensors inside the patented spindle rather than externally. This isn’t just a matter of convenience when switching pedal bodies. It’s essential to keeping your power meter safe from the elements.

Gravel and mountain biking often involve long hours on the bike with pedals exposed to sometimes extreme weather conditions. Rain, mud, dust, pedal strikes and debris flying up from the trail or gravel road? All part of an average day out.

The replaceable pedal body on the Assioma PRO MX is made out of 6061 T6 aluminium body, engineered to withstand off-road abuse. That sits on an aerospace-grade stainless steel spindle body designed to protect all electronics from any impacts, weather, and regular wear.

This design also makes Favero’s Assioma PRO-family pedals easy to service. Since all the electronics are contained within the stainless steel spindle, you can service your Assioma PRO MX like any other non-power pedal.

Favero gives easy access to all the data Assioma PRO MX power pedals provide
IAV Cycling dynamics: work the world beyond Watts

Using Favero’s proprietary IAV Power system, the PRO line transmits advanced ANT+ Cycling dynamics data, including:

Platform Centre Offset (PCO)

Shows force distribution across the pedal. Useful for spotting cleat misalignment or pedaling asymmetry.

Power Phase (PP)

Identifies where positive torque is generated in the pedal stroke and pinpoints the peak power sub-phase.

Rider position

Tracks seated versus standing time — helpful for analyzing climbing efforts or sprint intervals.

The data conforms to ANT+ standards and works primarily with compatible Garmin head units, while the first two metrics are viewable live in the Favero Assioma app.

For data-driven riders, it’s a meaningful expansion beyond left/right balance.

With the ability to transfer your Assioma PRO-series pedals from bike to bike, all this information travels with you. You don’t have to leave quality data behind for off-season training or choose whether you measure data in your gravel or cross country racing. Or even buy a second set of Favero pedals. This significantly lowers the cost barrier to meaningful training with quality, reliable data.
