Favero

Italian Engineering. Real-World Power.

If you train with power, the pedals are the simplest place to put a meter. You can move them between bikes in minutes with a 15mm spanner, you don't need to match cranksets or bottom bracket standards, and — done properly — they'll measure both legs independently to a level of accuracy that genuinely changes how you train. Doing it properly is where Favero come in.

Favero Electronics is a family-run firm based in Arcade, just north of Treviso in Italy. They've been in sports electronics for more than thirty years, and they've focused exclusively on power meter pedals for the last ten — long enough to pioneer the things every other manufacturer now copies, like rechargeable batteries inside the spindle and podless installation. They don't make computers, they don't make trainers, they don't make GPS units. They make power meter pedals, and they make them better than almost anyone.

The current Assioma PRO range covers every kind of riding you're likely to do — Shimano SPD-SL road, Look Keo road, and SPD for gravel and mountain. All three share the same internal spindle, which is the actual power meter. That means you can move a single set of Favero electronics between road and off-road bikes by swapping the pedal body — no need to buy two complete power meters, and no compromise on accuracy whichever cleat you're running.

Across the whole Pro range you're looking at ±1% accuracy, IAV Power (Favero's own algorithm using a built-in gyroscope to measure your true pedal stroke), up to 160 hours of battery life on a single charge, and a full set of advanced metrics — left/right balance, Power Phase, Platform Center Offset, Torque Effectiveness and Pedal Smoothness. Made in Italy, fitted on your kitchen floor in about ten minutes.

Assioma PRO RS — Shimano SPD-SL

If you're already running Shimano SPD-SL cleats on your road bike, the Pro RS is the most straightforward upgrade you can make. The pedal body is a properly engineered SPD-SL platform with a stainless-steel contact surface and needle roller bearings, weighing 124.8g per pedal — light enough that it's not really a weight conversation. Stack height is 10.5mm, Q-factor +53mm, and it'll feel familiar from the first pedal stroke.

Available as the PRO RS-1 single-sided (power meter spindle on the left, dummy spindle on the right, with left-side power doubled) or the PRO RS-2 dual-sided with true left/right power. The single-sided is the entry point into power for plenty of riders; the dual-sided is what you want if you're working with a coach, doing a bike fit, or chasing pedalling efficiency. Either way you can upgrade later — Favero sell a spindle-only kit that converts a single-sided to a full dual-sided system.

Assioma PRO RL — Look Keo Compatible

The newest member of the Pro family, launched in March 2026. The PRO RL takes the same internal spindle as the RS and wraps it in a Look Keo-compatible pedal body — meaning if you're already running Look cleats (or your shoes are Look-drilled and you'd rather not switch), you can now have a Favero power meter without changing cleat systems.

It's the lightest Look-compatible power meter on the market with adjustable release tension — 130g per pedal — and it has the largest contact surface in the range at 755mm² for genuinely planted, stable power delivery. Comes in PRO RL-1 single-sided and PRO RL-2 dual-sided. Compatible with official Look Keo cleats, or Favero's own cleats which they reckon offer up to 30% more grip.

Assioma PRO MX — SPD for Gravel & MTB

The Pro MX was the first of the new podless Assioma PROs to launch back in 2024, and it remains the obvious choice for gravel racers, cyclocross riders and mountain bikers who want power data without compromise. SPD-compatible, ±1% accurate, and built to handle the abuse of off-road riding — Favero rate it to DIN EN ISO 4210 Category 3 (rough terrain, drops up to 61cm), which is rare for any power meter pedal.

Available as the PRO MX-1 single-sided and the PRO MX-2 dual-sided. Particularly worth thinking about if you do indoor training on a smart trainer over winter — paired with a road bike on the trainer running the PRO RS or RL, and a gravel bike with the PRO MX, you've effectively got year-round power data with one set of electronics.

Why We Stock Favero

The accuracy, as well as the price-to-performance ratio, is outstanding — independent reviewers consistently rate them as one of the most reliable references available. The 160-hour battery life means you charge them every few months rather than every few rides. They install in ten minutes.

If you're not sure which range is right for you — or whether to start with a single-sided system and upgrade later — call the shop on 0141 552 0841, email sales@billybilslandcycles.co.uk  or drop in and we'll happily talk it through.
