Favero Assioma Upgrade Kit

In a sport where marginal gains and training optimization are everything, power meters are no longer reserved for the elite. They have become a natural part of the equipment of many ambitious cyclists and triathletes – and Favero power pedals in particular have become popular for their precision, reliability and ease of use. With the measurement directly in the pedal, you get data from the place where the power is actually transferred – and this means more accurate and realistic measurements compared to other locations such as the hub or crankset.

Favero has managed to combine high precision with a lightweight and robust design that is perfect for both everyday and competitive use. The Watt pedals are easy to install on your own, can be moved between bikes in minutes and are compatible with most systems and platforms. For triathletes and road riders who want to closely monitor their training and optimize every step, Favero is one of the most reliable choices on the market.

One of the big questions when looking at watt pedals from Favero is whether to choose single-sided or double-sided measurement. The single-sided solution measures the power in one pedal and doubles the data, while the double-sided solution measures each foot individually and shows the real distribution. For most exercisers, a single-sided solution is enough – you get precise numbers and the ability to control your training by watts, FTP and intensity.

However, for the more dedicated triathlete or cyclist who wants insight into asymmetries, pedaling technique and muscular balance, double-sided measurement is worth its weight in gold. It can help identify weaknesses, improve technique and prevent injuries. Favero allows you to start with one pedal and later upgrade to two – this provides flexibility and makes it easy to adapt your setup as you develop as an athlete.

The pedals communicate seamlessly with most bike computers and training apps via both ANT+ and Bluetooth, making them ideal for both outdoor training and home training on smart trainers or virtual platforms like Zwift and TrainerRoad. The data is stable, and the battery lasts for many hours of riding - with easy charging via magnetic connector.

Training with power meters is no longer just for the pros – it’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to understand their training better and get more out of every hour in the saddle. Unlike heart rate, which can fluctuate depending on sleep, stress, temperature and caffeine intake, watts are an objective measure of the exact amount of work you’re putting in. This means you can plan, structure and analyse your training much more precisely.

For triathletes, wattage is especially useful on the bike portion, where pacing is crucial. By staying within a certain wattage zone, you can avoid going too hard and ensure you still have energy left for the race. In addition, wattage allows you to track your progress over time and see if your training is actually working – something that both motivates and builds confidence in the process.

Favero makes power measurement available in a form that is easy to use, accurate and affordable. The combination of low weight, precise measurements, long battery life and simple installation has made the pedals a staple for both exercisers and competitive athletes. And with the ability to remove the pedals and move them to another bike in minutes, it is a flexible system that fits perfectly into the everyday lives of many cyclists and tri-people.
