Favero Assioma PRO RL power pedals offer Look Keo compatibility

Favero has officially launched its new Assioma PRO RL power pedals, offering dual-sided power measurement with direct compatibility for Look Keo cleats. This release marks a significant expansion for the Italian brand, moving beyond their traditional SPD-SL/Shimano cleat interface to cater to a broader segment of the road cycling market. The pedals are available now, providing a long-awaited option for riders committed to the Look Keo system.

This development is noteworthy given Favero’s established reputation for accurate and reliable power measurement, often at a more accessible price point than competitors. Until now, Look Keo users seeking Favero’s technology were limited to third-party spindle conversions or switching cleat systems entirely, a barrier for many. This direct integration streamlines the process, potentially drawing new customers to Favero and intensifying competition within the power meter market, particularly against established players like Wahoo and Garmin.

Ultimately, Favero's move into Look Keo compatibility is less about innovation and more about market capture. A sensible expansion, certainly, but one that simply addresses a long-standing omission rather than breaking new ground.
