Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s the difference between the Assioma PRO MX-2, PRO MX-1, and PRO RL?

  The PRO MX-2 is a dual-sided MTB/gravel pedal (Shimano SPD®) that provides full L/R metrics and typically weighs ~195.3 g per pedal; the PRO MX-1 is a single-sided MTB option for riders who want a lower-cost or lighter dual‑leg compromise. The PRO RL (road) uses a carbon-tech polymer body for the lightest weight (~123.5 g per pedal) and fits SPD‑SL/Look Keo systems, while all models share the same sealed spindle, IAV + gyroscope power system and ±1% accuracy. Choose MX variants for off‑road durability (6061‑T6 aluminum body) and the RL for road racing/lightweight setups.
• How accurate are Assioma pedals and do they work with oval chainrings?

  Assioma pedals use Favero’s IAV (Instantaneous Angular Velocity) algorithm plus a built‑in gyroscope and thermal compensation to deliver ±1% accuracy, and that accuracy is maintained with oval chainrings. The sensors are sealed in a robust spindle (IP67), so readings remain reliable in mud, rain and a wide temperature range.
• Which Assioma model is best for gravel, cyclocross, and XC mountain biking?

  For gravel, cyclocross and XC the PRO MX family is purpose‑built—MX‑2 gives full dual‑sided metrics for serious training, while MX‑1 is a single‑side option if you only need one power source. Both MX pedals use Shimano SPD cleats, a shock‑resistant 6061‑T6 aluminum body and IP67 sealing, making them well suited to muddy, technical terrain; pick MX‑2 if you want Power Phase, Pedal Smoothness and L/R balance for detailed pedaling analysis.
• How easy is it to install, swap, and charge Assioma pedals?

  Assioma pedals install like standard clipless pedals and the modular design lets you swap bodies (road/MTB) on the same spindle without complex setup; cleat interfaces match each model (SPD for MX, SPD‑SL/Look for RL). Batteries are rechargeable Li‑ion with magnetic charging (no exposed ports) and deliver about 50–60+ hours depending on model, so routine transfers between bikes are straightforward.
• What advanced metrics do Assioma pedals provide and how do I access them?

  Assioma pedals broadcast power, cadence and L/R balance plus advanced Cycling Dynamics such as Power Phase (PP), Pedal Smoothness (PS), Torque Effectiveness (TE) and PCO, and they include stroke analysis via the gyroscope. Data is available over ANT+ and Bluetooth to head units and apps (Favero and major third‑party platforms) so you can view live metrics, record rides and analyze pedaling in training software.
