Just got the duo. It was much easier to set up with my Garmin tracker than my Vector 3’s. Longest time was fully charging the pedals every thing else was quick and easy. BTW, 50 hours and 25000 total hours to 20% degradation is just under 50 years at 10 hours a week. I’m sure other components and I will wear out faster.

I've been riding the Duo's for more than two charge cycles. Both lasted 60H before I got the battery low message. Hereafter you have 8h before going dead. I tested that indoors and can verify this. These are currently THE BEST POWER pedals you can be. I have had zero issues - inside, outside, bike 1, bike 2 - doesn't matter. ALWAYS reliable, consistent and accurate. I really love these pedals. One tiny recommedation; use looks grip cleat. These are better than the supplied although the also do the job.

Great review. Just ordered a DUO. Only drawback: they don't come in a hazelnut flavor. Thanks for the excellent, informative, thorough review, Shane!

I got the Assioma Uno, love it, and they have really good support too, they reply within a day and are very helpful!

I have bought a pair of these about 3 to 4 months ago (duo's), they have been absolutely faultless, user friendly, long battery life, well water sealed electronics and battery and having several bikes, fit in perfectly to changing over from bike to bike easilly, can recommend them fully and completely changed my training effectiveness, without a power meter you are training blind.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, another great review

I’ve had these pedals for two years now. I’ve had no issues whatsoever with these. I use them with the KICKR trainer and the power always matches what comes out of the KICKR. The battery life is amazing. The only downside is the charging cable is so unique, I can’t just grab any old usb cable to charge them when I’m traveling. This review is why I bought them.

I'm so glad I gave up on waiting for the back-ordered Vector 3's and pulled the trigger on the Assioma DUOs.

Thanks for your excellent review. I was shopping for a crank-based set-up, but there's nothing on the market for pre- Hollow-Tech cranksets, and I have Ultegra 6500. A pedal-based system is certainly easier to shift onto multiple bikes. If I ever decide to go with a more modern set-up, these will still work, and even if the batteries crap out after two years, for the 650 USD I paid, that's just $27/month to have accurate power data. All one has to do is NOT buy a coffee shop latte and a scone on a half dozen rides each month, and these are paid for. I thought I would never care about measuring my power output, but as it turns out, I do, mostly so I can determine how much I've got in me and can then mete it out over the duration of a ride.

Bought the Duo 2 months ago and they are excellent! Great value and quality - nice to see that confirmed. Great job on the review! Only thing I’d disagree with is the “non-replaceable battery” downside. This will never come up in practice, the battery will last for YEARS given that you hardly ever need to charge them.

As expected Assiomas turned out to be super solid. I'd really choose those over Powertap and Garmin. And I see built in battery as a strong point of these. They dodged a lot of problems with that decision. I wouldn't worry about battery life cycle as they require charging 10-20 times (?) per year. At this rate battery will easily outlast other components of the power meter.

I've had the UNO's for a few weeks now and they've been great! Easy setup and accurate compared to my Tacx trainer. So far so good and I'm very happy with them.

What an excellent review. Very clear, cogent, comprehensive and conversational. I have made the decision to what to buy without looking further. Thanks for your help.

Ordered mine last night. Thanks for the great review.

Just ordered the duo’s today (although they are on backorder). Your review helped me to make my choice!

Just got my FedEx shipment with my Assioma DUO's today. Thanks Lama.

Just bought these b/c of this review, upgrading from vector 2's which were fine, just banged up the "pods", thank you Shane!

The most important part given the focus due to it - peeling off the plastic. That was awesome.

Thanks Shane great review had my eye on these for a while, just needed a helping hand to justify my decision ☺️

Great review. Been using a duo inside and out for over six months. Never missed a beat and keeps its charge really well. Can't fault them.

I've just pulled the trigger on a set of these, thanks for the video @Shane

I have these and the bePRO on a couple of bikes. The bePROs are on a roadie with oval rings and power data accuracy has been spot on. Customer service while in Italy has been quick to respond and language is not a barrier to overcome. Had to ask a few questions, not try and resolve any problems. While I’m not affiliated with them, I highly recommend this brand for your power needs and the Assioma pedals have been very easy to switch between bikes.

Bought these pedals over the Garmin vector 3. Overall great experience so far. zero dropouts. super reliable. only problem is clipping on may be tricky as they spin around quite easily

This is so great man, thank you.

Your reviews are spot on mate, just subscribed.

Thanks for giving me a ride on yesterday mate 👍. Made the suffering a little easier

Thanks for pointing out the firmware update. I had missed that the last time I checked the battery level in the app. Looks like they made these great pedals even better.

These pedals are just such winners. It's crazy to me you can get (singles) for just a few hundred. It was not remotely that long ago PMs were more than a lot of (not low end) bikes. Great advancement.

We need an update to compare to the new Garmin Rally!

One thing you can do with the Assioma after the two year warranty is the user can repair them, as all the parts are available for purchase from Favero . I have used mine for about 6 months without any problems and have just brought replacement cleats from Favero as they are very well priced. Thanks for your review.

In depth and easy to watch as always. Yet to test mine against my Tacx NEO, but I would have put money on them being bang on before watching this video. Glad to get confirmation! I like everything about them except the weird charger. Now to go upgrade the firmware before my next ride.

Awesome after having a bad experience with Power Tap & my Vector 3s pedals now unreliable readings with drop off power or low continuous power data I think I will try these, I require a pedal power meter to switch between bikes easily, these look promising. Thanks for the review, great content.

Considering the extremely buggy firmware of the Garmin Vector 3, which I unfortunately own (and any Garmin product in general), these are a much better buy.

Thank you, Great video with a lot of practical information

Great review, as usual. I am seriously considering these pedals

I’m in the market, great review thanks

Great review. Very informative. Many thanks!!

Great review. Nice to see truth in advertising from a manufacturer

I think you sold me on these ones mate. I will retire the Watteam G2's this year and get these, cheers

Thanks. Ordered a pair from an Aussie online shop.

just bought them.. and they are slick.

Great review as usual. Thanks Shane

Mine are 2.5 years old and no longer work. Never been dropped, always maintained. Contacted Favero and customer service was pretty ordinary. Took weeks of emails with me chasing them up for help / customer assistance only for them to finally tell me, they’re broken sorry.

Awesome review...as usual!

I own these, quarq and tacx neo. All highly recommended.

Great review Shane. I've had these for a few months now. Love the functionality. Not a fan of the pedals, not sure if I am just goofy. But I really struggle to clip in with these - which was never an issue with my look keos...maybe just need to ride more ;)

Just got mine. Only surprise has been that the Strava calories calculation of my rides has halved! Makes no difference in the real world, but it means I need to ride twice as far or adjust my apple Watch Fitness targets!

Best powermeter pedals out there bar none

Mine arrived today, replacing the Powertap C1. No bloody choccies in the box though :)

Please tell me you bought those Ferrero Rocher just for the purpose of the video. Lol

Great vid, although after watching, all I want now is a adjustable measuring tool thingy...

Spectacular video! Subscribed!

You're awesome Mate!!

People's obsession with q factor is cray. Shane isn't doing it...but some people freakout about 2 mm difference. You would never feel that on the bike in reality.

Brilliant review,but the company haven’t learn nothing from your reviews,the next generation is not like we expected 65 mm🤭💥🥊

Awesome video and really helpful - thank you.

I love your reviews, small update starting firmware 4 it does support single Bluetooth Chanel

I've been using the Assioma Duo for a few weeks now and they have been faultless. Compare very well with my powertap hub also.

nice review Shane! I have the P1 and saw what you did there with the right side power missing LOL kinda makes me wanna switch camp also for the extra weight savings and flatter pedals. I didn't know there is an option in telling PM that I have an oval chainring, will check to configure that in my Garmin tonight, cheers!

Thorough review, thx. Technically speaking, when the rechargeable batteries die, the option exists to replace the pedal axle with new ones sold by Favero. They cost less than new pedals, but the way engineering and products progress it's doubtful replacement would be the best option. I am very pleased with mine. Just recharged for the second time since purchase logging 98 hrs. So, the 50 hr/charge spec seems to be accurate.

The debacle with the Vector 3 pedals is going to help the sale of these.

Bit late to the Assioma party but looking at these as my single power crank arm looks like it’s going to be a tight fit on the new bike order , thinking of these as an upgrade , judging by comments it looks like it’s worth it

Hello, I have a pair of Assioma pedals for over 2 years now and have been pleased with them. I did have to get new bodies as the bearings disintegrated and embedded themselves into the plastic. The pedals have been paired to Wahoo Bolt v1 and have been fine. I replaced the Bolt v1 with the v2 because it’s shiny and has colours. :slight_smile: However, on a ride if I have stopped for over the 5 minute shut off and start off again I have no power reading. I carried on with the ride but noticed the left pedal lights are completely off, but the right pedal lights are fine. The only way to get the pedals to wake up is to connect them to the usb charger. Now, it doesn’t happen every time and I thought it was related to BLE connecting instead of ANT+, but I made sure the Bolt is connecting via ANT+. I seem to have fewer dropouts when the Wahoo companion app is not opened as it connects to the pedal via BLE. Favero has analysed the pedal data and concluded the left pedal’s battery is faulty causing random shutdown, but my experience is that it only started with a change of head unit. By the way, the cost of replacement is over 200 Euro. Does anyone else have similar problems? Any help is much appreciated.

Got the Favero bePro S pedals and they have been really good. These will most likely not be worse. They do however require a Smartphone to activate.

I went for the Garmin RC XC200 instead. The Garmin were 25% off on my country, they are still marginally more expensive than the Assioma DUO but what sold me the Garmin XC200 was how regular they look, no big ass sensor that can be bumped and NO built-in internal rechargeable battery, in my experience internal batteries on the long run will fail and you lose all the component along with it, AND replaceable bodies. Granted, I know the replaceable batteries on previous iteration of the Garmin power meters had some issues, but everything I've read about the XC200 shows that Garmin got the battery compartment nailed down this time and no issues for the reviews I've read. Knock on wood with my pair.

Great vid. Thanks!

I love Assioma. I've bought 3 month ago and they are the best power meter with the best price. I've done a video review to explain all about them.

Thx for another great review 👍

I got the UNO version and I am pretty happy with them. Two litte issue I would like to mention, I was very surprised, that the included cleats got no axle mark, so it is a little bit guessing to adjust them. And the other thing is, that I have seen a variance of -15/-20 watt compared to the values of my Elite Direto in Zwift - I assume the reason is my paddeling technique.

Favero pedals are self serviceable, which is a huge plus for me as bearing will need replacement as much as battery. Yesterday I gave a look to the vector 3 of a friend and after 3 months they were already less than acceptable smooth for me. About batteries, Favero sells the complete sensor+battery alerady. cycling.favero.com/shop/left-pedal-axle-with-sensor-assioma Quite expensive when you compare to the full pedals, but as you noticed with the quark technology advances and in 3-4 years there might be advantages upgrading. Finally, Li-ion batteries of the Assioma ages in cycles (most often 500) which leaves a lot more time than 3-4 y as described in the video for an average cyclist.

Made in Italy apparently by the way

great video

i was watching another video and saw this older one on the right. thought id make a comment to help others thinking of buying: ive had the assioma for about 2 years now (around 12000km) and so far they have been aces. coldest day was probably -15C, been though asian monsoons x10, and +40C heat plenty. they are found instantly by my garmin 520+ (and my really old 500 for a few months before i got the 520+). they are also found instantly by my tacx neo. also-I actually crashed at about 40kph and totaled a rd, handlebar, right shifter, and the right assioma pedal. turned out it was the body only (it was just a matter of not being able to click in well). i bought a new body (yyou can find them on a few web sites inc. the assioma site) and swapped it for the one that crashed (i think it was 50 dollars - imo, not cheap but not outrageous either and i was just grateful it was an option). it took about 5 minutes with a multitool, maybe 10 max, to swap the body (but using the old spindle-where the sensor is). hopped on the bike, tested with neo -bam! all the same numbers as before the crash. that was 6 months ago and everything is going perfectly to date. ps-i use the grey look cleats

With the Shimano Patent for the SPD MTB pedal expired on 4/6/2019,, after 20 years, do you think they will come out with a SPD MTB pedal body to suit the pod and shaft?

Favero....PLEASE make these Shimano cleat compatible. Shane....any chance that may happen in the future??

Hi Shane you offered some advice on your live stream the other day for some power accuracy issues i was having with my assioma duo's and after removing two spacers on each side and reinstalling the app, the power discrepancy has gone and it now matches up perfectly with my kickr core. Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it. 👍

Hi Shane! Merry Christmas and Happy New year.. Im thinking of getting my first power meter- Is there any performance difference in getting UNO (as its cheaper) versus the the Duo? So basically go for the UNO or wait and save up for a Duo? Thanks

Another great review Shwne (anyone catch that?)!! ;-)

Very useful

Another great review nice S Works cranks I’ve got those didn’t realise Quark made a power meter what model is that if you don’t mind saying thanks

Hi Shane, thank you for the really precise comparison on the different measurement systems. I just got me a pair of Favero Assioma for one of my bicycles. Now, what I'm a bit confused about is that your using a Quarq spider mounted on a pre-2013 S-Works crank. I always thought this is impossible! So, what Quarq spider is it you're using??? I own the same crank and I'd like to upgrade it, too. Thank you for your answer in advance! Stephan

Shane, I am waiting patiently for my new Assioma Duos to arrive this week. I have a Garmin Edge 1030+ , would data screen would you recommend I use? I also use the Traffic Radar field for my Varia. cheers

great review. will the fererro rocher review come out anytime soon ?

These Favero Assioma power meter pedals with a encased integrated pod, and a simple pedal body with no electronics, that can be cheaply replaced if damaged, or replace worn bearings yourself is stunning!!! With the Shimano Patent for the SPD MTB pedal expired on 4/6/2019,, after 20 years, do you think they will come out with a SPD MTB pedal body to suit the pod and shaft?

Hi Shane, just got the Assiomas and they are great. Quick question, do you reckon you need to use an additional washer on Ultegra cranks? There is a small recess but there still appears ample room between the pod and the crank without the washer. Cheers. P.S. Awesome review.

Mr Lama man. Thanks for the review. If I’m super lazy. Can I use them independently on two bikes. Or is the right pedal only functional by being a left master. Hence the uno left.

I saw you are using Shimano RS80 C50mm Clincher, just want to ask How many mm of your Tire using right now? 😊 Btw I like your review of this power meter, last time You are the reason why I choose Wahoo cycling unit 😉

Are the centers of these pedals further away from the crank arm than "standard" pedals? If not, can they be used with the "limb-saver" pedal extensions?

Hi Shane, thanks for the great review! Would you recommend a pedal power meter over a crank power meter? Much appreciated!

These with Shimano cleats and I'm sold

quite a good review! can you regrease and service the bearings by yourself?

Thanks for the awesome review! Just a quick question: Do you know in which country it is manufactured?

I wish there were a way to search comments. You wouldn't happen to know how to do a factory reset on these, do you? I just installed mine. I registered first, and updated the firmware, but had problems and it went to the bootloader. Upon riding around, I have no power, no cadence on my Garmin 830. I rode around for more than an hour, so it's not the initial setup thing. I loaded up the Wahoo Fitness app, paired it, and it says N/A for power and cadence, so something is definitely wrong.

Great review, Shane. Now that all things are practically equal, would you recommend these or the PowerTap P1 pedals? I've been staring at my computer screen for a week and can't decide. The only thing I am hesitant about on the Duos is the possibility of damaging the pod. As for the P1 pedals their only downside seems to be their size.

Mine are in the mail. :)

Okay Shane...just charged and then installed the Assioma Duo’s today. Went to update firmware and both pedals said that the firmware is up to date. Did a zero offset calibration and thought I was good to go. Until I saw that there is a choice to make as if you want the data to be transferred single through the left meter or individually via left and right. Which is the best way for the data to be transferred to your head unit? The default is via the left pedal only. Your expertise is needed here!

Wow. Stack height changes so much between pedals. Can't believe people obsess about their crank length so much when it can be completely offset by something like this.

Good work Shane. Are any of the axle bearings on the Pedal based PM's adjustable? I've never had pedal bearings that have really failed and needed replacing, but I've had to adjust plenty to remove play.
