Favero Assioma PRO RS - Review
Posted by Trevor Barrett on
Ever feel like you’re working hard but not getting the speed you deserve? Legs burning, lungs on fire… yet your mate still rolls past you on the false flat?
There’s a decent chance you’ve got a sneaky power imbalance. And yep—one leg might just be along for the ride.
The Favero Assioma PRO RS power pedals are built to expose exactly what’s going on beneath you, so you can stop guessing, start fixing, and get faster with intent.
The Problem: “I Train Hard… So Why Am I Still Stuck?”
Most riders assume both legs are pulling their weight equally. In reality?
Left/right imbalances of 5–10% (or more) are super common—and they quietly rob you of efficiency.
That can show up as:
- Plateaued fitness despite consistent training
- Knee, hip, or lower-back niggles
- Fatigue in one leg before the other
- A pedal stroke that feels smooth but leaks watts
- Without accurate data, you’re basically training blind.
The Fix: Dual-Sided Power You Can Actually Trust
The Favero Assioma PRO RS pedals measure true left/right power, independently, at the pedal spindle—where force actually happens.
That means:
- No estimation
- No guessing
- No “close enough” maths
- Just clean, accurate data telling you who’s doing the work—and who isn’t.
If your left leg is freeloading, you’ll know. If your right leg is overcompensating, you’ll see it. And once you know? You can fix it.
Why PRO RS (and Not Just Any Power Pedal)?
1. Shimano SPD-SL Compatibility (Finally)
If you’re a Shimano road rider, this is the big one.
The PRO RS works seamlessly with SPD-SL cleats, so there’s no change to your setup, no compromise on feel.
Same shoes. Same cleats. Way more insight.
2. Proper Problem-Solving Data (Not Just a Number)
This isn’t just about watts for bragging rights. The PRO RS helps you:
- Dial in bike fit tweaks
- Balance your pedal stroke
- Rehab or protect an injury
- Spot fatigue patterns in long rides
- Train smarter, not just harder
Suddenly those gym sessions and one-leg drills actually make sense.
3. Light, Durable, Race-Ready
Favero didn’t just add tech—they refined everything:
- Carbon composite pedal body
- Slim stack height for better biomechanics
- Excellent cornering clearance
- Built to survive real-world riding (not just Instagram rides)
You get race-day performance and day-to-day durability.
4. Rechargeable & Low-Maintenance (Because Life’s Busy)
Forget coin cells and random battery swaps.
- Rechargeable battery
- Up to 60 hours riding time
- Magnetic charging = easy, tidy, no faff
Charge it. Ride it. Repeat.
5. Rock-Solid Accuracy (±1%)
Favero’s reputation is built on accuracy—and the PRO RS continues that legacy.
You’re getting ±1% accuracy, whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or grinding through a winter base ride.
That means your training zones stay honest, your progress is measurable, and your gains are real.
