I bought these pedals to get power number while I ride my gravel bike. I have Shimano SPD cleats and these work just fine with them. So far I've ridden my gravel bike with these pedals a total of 6 rides in 1. 5months. Three of those rides were on gravel and the other three were just riding around town. These pedals connected very quickly to my Garmin 1030 and they stay connected - no drops or connection issues so far after stopping and starting mid-ride. I'm not a huge fan of the app but luckily you only need to use that during initial setup and whenever you want to update firmware which I do not plan to do more than once every quarter. I haven't had to charge them yet after 8-9 hours of riding on them. I wouldn't def recommend these to folks who don't have the budget to purchase the dual sides pedals.
The crank installation was easy with only one special tool required. You can find lots of videos on line about replacing a crank and it was a simple process. Once the crank was on, I zeroed it out and went for a ride. I love the fact that it also replaced my cadence sensor so now my bike has a much cleaner look since you can't even tell that there is a power meter on the crank. A huge upside to this purchase is that it also connects to apple find my devices so it takes the place of adding an apple tag with the added advantage that this crank will not alert somebody that there is an apple tag. Lots of videos on how to modify a tag to add to your bike, but this product has it already done for you! It connected easily to my Garmin and gives a great read out of my power. The battery is a bit weird to change now that they added a child protective feature, but you can watch their video on how to remove it. You have to go through a pairing process that requires removing and re-installing the battery several times.
I own a pair of road dual sided-power pedals (different brand) and they have worked well for me. However, when I was looking for a durable gravel/MBT pedal for racing, all my research pointed to the Favero Assioma Pro MX. After installing the pedals (easy), I put them to the test at the Iceman Cometh MTB race in N. Michigan. In spite of the rugged, fast conditions, the Pro MX worked flawlessly. As a quality MTB pedal, they functioned as expected. The pedals were easy to adjust and I had no issues clipping/unclipping. As far as pairing them to my Garmin head unit, again, no issues. The power data was spot on w/ Zero dropouts. Additionally, I have run them on my gravel bike, and they have worked great every time. The pedals are solidly built, and you can feel the quality right out of the box. I was able to get these for about 15% less than other competitive brands, and I feel like I made a wise choice.
I�ve been using the Favero Assioma pedals on all my bikes, and they�re fantastic. The installation is incredibly easy�just like installing any regular pedal. Once they�re on, you�re good to go, with no complicated setup process. The battery life is outstanding; I can ride for weeks without needing to recharge them, which is perfect for long rides or frequent training sessions. Most importantly, the power measurement is super accurate for both legs, providing reliable data that has really helped me fine-tune my performance. Overall, they�re durable, efficient, and well worth the investment for anyone serious about power-based training.
