Power Meter Pedals for Road

Additional Information:

Brands

We carry every power meter pedal available. This includes pedals from Favero, Garmin and SRM/LOOK. All of these companies have been making power meter pedals for a number of years. They release new versions every 2 to 3 years.

Power Options

As mentioned above, these road power meter pedals come in single- or dual-sided versions. With both versions you receive a left and right pedal (with the exception of the DUO-Shi, discussed below). However, single-sided pedals have a sensor in one pedal only (usually the left). Therefore, these power meters measure power from just one leg. They double left leg power in order to approximate a rider’s total power output.

Dual-sided pedals have a sensor in both the left and right pedal and therefore measure a rider’s total power. These dual-sided versions cost more, but are usually more accurate due to the fact they measure both legs. In addition, they are able to measure independent left/right leg power.

Favero Assioma DUO-Shi

We wanted to point out an important difference with the Assioma DUO-Shi. The DUO-Shi consists of power meter spindles that you insert into Shimano pedals bodies that you already own. So, unlike the other power meters on this page where you receive a set of pedals, with the DUO-Shi, you receive power meter spindles only.

Clean Options

With road power meter pedals, you have your choice of LOOK Keo or Shimano SPD-SL compatible versions. The Favero Assioma, Garmin Rally RK and SRM/LOOK EXAKT use a LOOK Keo style cleat. LOOK Keo original cleats can also be used with the power meters. The Garmin Rally RS and Favero Assioma DUO-Shi use Shimano SPD-SL cleats. Please also note, none of these pedals are compatible with Speedplay cleats.

Quick Product Comparison:

Price

The Favero Assioma is the most affordable power meter pedal. You can buy the UNO (single-sided) for $459. If you would like a dual-sided version, the most affordable option is the Assioma DUO-Shi at $629 (spindles only) or the Assioma DUO $719 (ready to ride pedals).

Installation

The Favero Assioma and Garmin Rally all install just like a normal pedal. Therefore, the installation process is very simple and only takes a minute. This also means you can move them from bike to bike easily.

The SRM/LOOK EXAKT is a bit more work to get installed and configured correctly. It requires that you use a special tool (supplied) and the app to manually set the installation angles. However even with this pedal, installation can usually be done in about 5 minutes or less.

Power Measurement

The single-sided version of these road power meter pedals measure power from one leg. The dual-sided versions measure both legs. The dual-sided versions are also able to measure independent left/right power.

ANT+/Bluetooth SMART

All of these power meter road pedals are dual ANT+ and Bluetooth SMART compatible. Therefore, you can used them with any bike computer, smart phone or indoor training app such as Zwift.

Batteries

The Favero Assioma and SRM/LOOK EXAKT use a rechargeable battery. The Garmin Rally uses a coin cell LR44/SR44 or CR1/3N battery.

Weight

The Assioma DUO is the lightest power meter pedal at 149.5 grams per pedal. The SRM/LOOK EXAKT is next at 155 grams per pedal. This is followed closely by the DUO-Shi at 157 grams per pedal (PD-R8000 pedal body) and then the Garmin Rally at 160-163 grams (depending on the version).
