The Team here at Cycling Weekly are big fans of Favero pedals, not only for their excellent value, but also for their incredible reliability. Back in 2020, CW Editor Michelle put the Favero Assioma Duos to the test for the first time, testing them for nearly 6 months before penning her thoughts, at which point they hadn’t missed a beat, awarding them 4.5 stars out of 5.
More recently, when updating our guide to the best power meters (of which the Assioma Duos are our best overall pick), I was discussing with Aaron, Tech Writer and our power meter expert, that he had a pair of Assiomas that were over 7 years old. Despite their ages, they still held almost the full 50 hours of battery life and, aside from needing more regular firmware updates, continued to provide accurate and reliable data.
The Assioma Duos might be our best overall pick for power meters. However, they narrowly missed out on the full 5 stars for two very small reasons. Firstly, for those who favour Shimano pedals, the Assiomas are compatible only with Look cleats. While this isn’t an issue, if these are your only pedals. If you have other Shimano bikes, it makes things more complicated.
Aside from that, they aren’t the best-balanced pedals, meaning the pedal can fall the wrong side up, which was the only real niggle Michelle had with them. She did, however, back this up by saying it’s only a problem if you’re in heavy traffic or, like her, you do lots of bike photoshoots, repeatedly clipping in and out.
If either of those things concerns you, you could go for the newer Assioma Pros, which basically solves both issues. Of which, the single-sided version is also on discount in the Amazon Spring Sale.
If you’re not in the market for power meter pedals, thats no trouble at all. I have been busy all week hunting down the best Amazon Big Spring Sale deals for cyclists. Head over to the hub for 37 bargains that I think are worth checking out.
There are other cycling tech deals as well from the likes of Wahoo; they have hit the Amazon Spring Sale pretty hard, offering money off all their best bike computers, which you will need if you decide to grab some of these Favero pedals. See my roundup of the 9 Wahoo Deals you shouldn’t miss!
