  • The Favero Assioma PRO MX is an all-new design power meter pedal that follows in the footsteps of the very popular Assioma DUO/UNO series. With no compromise in pedal stack height or q-factor, the testing I've done with these over the last 12 months indicates these are without question the BEST SPD power meter pedals on the market today.

    we're truly in the golden age of power meters for offroad. just think, a few years ago if you were on mtb and wanted to track power you basically had to move heaven and earth to make it happen. now not only are offroad pm pedals readily available, but you have multiple brands to choose from. what a time to be alive!

    12:24 - That's the Gravel Fondo event in Lorne (VIC) on 9 September 2023! I was there and saw you but didn't want to bother you.
    Pretty cool to know that you were actually testing these pedals at the time!
    That gravel event was insane and I pretty much walked up the whole way on that section of 20% in muddy conditions. I think I just made the cut by about 10 minutes as no one else arrived at the rest station (after I'd rested for ~10mins).
    I even did the Medio Fondo (60km on the Great Ocean Road) the next day and managed to finish 19th! I was pretty happy with that! 😁

Looking forward to adding these to the stable. If they used the same spindle technology on a new road pedal then I'd make an altar to them in the back yard devoted to whichever Roman God they took a fancy to. No rabbit holes. always good.

    Assioma, accurate, rock solid and not too pricey. Another one that will sell well I imagine.

I still love my assioma duos four plus years after getting them and the built in battery lasts for ages between charges.

    My second pair of faveros just got an expedo upgrade. I went with CXR’s this time which are almost as wide as shimano pedals but not these! These look as stable as xtr feels . The expedo titanium body’s where so slim they barley gave anything to stand on and did not last long. Its very cool favero thought of that and provide affordable replacement’s. About a year ago expedo was sold out of all pedals that could be used for faveros and I ended up wearing road shoes all summer. I was clip clopping in and out of offices and always got looks. Everyone assumed I was someone wearing heels and not a delivery driver dropping off packages. 😅

I have to completely cover them in white lithium grease to stop it. It makes them so dirty, so annoying. The Garmins are also loose. I'll definitely get these when they are in stock.

      One person's issue is another's feature. This is exactly what i've been waiting for, and I'm shopping for new pedal/PM setup as we speak; _however_ I need a slightly wider Q-factor (as do many) and hoped these would have that, like some of the Shimano SPD / SQLabs /Crankbrother platforms and the Duo-Shi.
      Alas this would probably yet again require solid spacers, which have some issues.... fk

      This new PRO max uses needle bearings. The only way to make a spd sl powermeter pedal is to use shimanos own pedal bodies due to patents I believe. So it would be hard to make the bearing set up work. I think a look system would be possible though?

    Would you recommend going for the FV Pro MX pedals or modding a pair Duos.
    Running gravel shoes and can’t see myself changing but the few hundreds saving on the mod is nice.
    Or for the few hundred dollars more let the factory do it.
    Suppose having the option to change back to spd if I ever wanted to is a thought.
    How do these rate vs the duos?

      Single sided is accurate for what it measures. That being just the left side. If you’re 50/50 balanced at all times on the bike (nobody is), it’ll be spot on. For everything else you’ll have a power number that’ll be pretty close to what you’re doing, but you can never be sure. There’s a whole can of worms here that gets opened and argued about on forums.

    Other than left /right balance info, there does not seem much to gain in going for duos. Everything is within a few watts and repeatable with the single sided systems or unos etc. Am I missing something. Most of the time I am looking at training repeatability, the numbers could be anything as long as repeatable. OK sure it is nice to know how you stack up against others I guess, but even the one sided solution is offering fantastic accuracy beyond drive chain loss.

    Favero are claiming stack height is 11.2 mm yet Shimano states their XTR is 15.1 mm. Does that seem correct to you? Also how did you find the stability of the pedals? (mtb shoes use the tread to engage with the pedal body and provide lateral stability, my Sworks shoes were rubbish with Shimano spd pedals as the tread blocks were too short to engage with the pedal and I had to swap to eggbeaters where I can adjust them with the pedal contact sleeves).

    • @gplama

    Hi Shane, how do you find installation and removal of these pedals? Recently 8mm hex is de-facto standard but this pedals requires pedal wrench or spanner. That can be a deal breaker for me. I think nobody is really able to properly torque them... though I do have pedal wrench torque adaptor which I hate to use. (need torque conversion or calc so never be accurate, like you do with ChatGPT.)
    Also I have really bad experience from spanner to remove pedals. Cutting hands by chainring when removing pedals, or strip pedal axle.
    With dedicated pedal wrench the angle of torquing is quite safe but it's really hard to source outside my house a day before event, so probably will use such as 17cm spanner as you do in the video. I am simply terrified by it... And powermeter is in pedal axle so I don't wanna strip it.
