Combining the Favero Assioma PRO RL-2 power axles with the Assioma PRO MX off-road pedal bodies creates one of the most versatile, high-precision power meter setups on the market.
Because Favero engineered the Assioma PRO series around a modular spindle/axle design, the internal electronic core can be swapped into different pedal shells.
Here are the primary advantages of pairing these two components:
1. Seamless Dual-System Switching (Road ↔ Off-Road)
· One Spindle Set, Two Bikes: By owning the RL-2 power axles and the MX bodies, you don't need to purchase two entirely separate, expensive dual-sided power meters for your road and gravel/MTB bikes.
· Easy Conversion: You can run the axles inside the RL-2 road bodies (Look® Kéo compatible) for road season, and then swap the same power axles into the MX bodies (Shimano® SPD compatible) for Gravel, Mountain Bike (MTB), or Cyclocross (CX) season.
2. True Dual-Sided Power Accuracy (±1.0%) Across All Terrains
Regardless of which body shell the axles are installed in, you retain Favero’s top-tier power measurement features:
· Independent L/R Measurement: True dual-sided tracking that reveals your Left/Right Power Balance.
· Advanced Cycling Dynamics: Full access to metrics such as Torque Efficiency, Pedal Smoothness, and Platform Center Offset (PCO).
· Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Delivers benchmark ±1.0% accuracy whether you're climbing asphalt under hot sun or navigating cold, muddy forest trails.
3. Tailored Ergonomics and Durability for Off-Road Riding
· Superior Mud Shedding & Retention: The MX pedal bodies feature an open off-road binding design that clears mud effortlessly and provides reliable engagement with recessed SPD shoe cleats.
· Impact Resistance: The MX body shell is reinforced to withstand rock strikes and heavy off-road abuse without risking damage to the spindle.
4. Sealed Protection & Low Cost-of-Ownership
· Internalized Electronics (IP67): All strain gauges, batteries, and transmitters are housed inside the solid steel axle shaft. Dirt, water, or mud from off-road riding won't reach the delicate components.
· Inexpensive Body Replacements: Off-road pedals naturally take a beating over time. If you wear out or break an MX pedal shell on a technical trail, you only need to buy a low-cost replacement pedal body—your expensive power axle remains completely intact and safe.
Summary
Using the Assioma PRO RL-2 power axles with Assioma PRO MX bodies gives you a future-proof, modular dual-sided power meter that saves you money by effortlessly bridging the gap between Road (Look Kéo) and Off-Road (Shimano SPD) disciplines.
