Favero Assioma PRO RL brings the Assioma PRO series measurement technology to the Look Kéo pedal standard. This is an important release especially for road cyclists and triathletes who have wanted the PRO-series construction without having to move away from the Look Kéo system.
The most interesting aspect of this release is not simply that there is a new name on the market. What really matters is that Favero is expanding the same PRO platform into a new use case. In practice, the technical core remains the same and only the pedal body changes. That is precisely what makes this launch immediately relevant.

Same PRO platform, now Look Kéo compatible
Favero Assioma PRO RL uses the same spindle technology as the PRO MX and PRO RS models. This is essentially the key piece of information in the entire release. The electronics are located inside the spindle, just like in the other PRO models, meaning the fundamental measurement architecture remains unchanged.
From a user perspective, this is a positive development. When the measurement foundation is already proven and reliable, a new model does not start from scratch. What is new is the Look Kéo compatible pedal body, developed by Favero in-house. That is a strong signal in terms of overall quality, as both the measurement system and the pedal body come from the same manufacturer.
RL-1 or RL-2, what is the practical difference?
Assioma PRO RL comes in three versions. RL-2 is the dual-sided model, measuring power from both pedals. RL-1 is delivered with two pedals, but the power sensor is located only in the left pedal. In addition, there is the RL-UP upgrade kit, which allows RL-1 to be upgraded to RL-2 later on.
This is a very sensible way to structure the range. Not everyone needs dual-sided measurement from the beginning, but for many riders it is important that an upgrade is possible later without replacing the entire set.
RL-1 is a strong choice when the goal is to get high-quality pedal-based power data for training in the most straightforward way. It works extremely well for load monitoring, threshold sessions, race pacing and structured training in general.
RL-2 is the clear choice if you want dual-sided data from day one and prefer to monitor left and right leg balance without a later upgrade step.
How does PRO RL compare to PRO RS and PRO MX?
Many riders also wonder how Assioma PRO RL fits within the broader Assioma PRO range. In practice, the choice comes down to pedal standard and intended use.
PRO RL is for Look Kéo users. PRO RS is for Shimano SPD-SL users, and PRO MX is for the SPD standard, meaning gravel, MTB and other off-road applications. From a measurement logic perspective, all of them belong to the same PRO family. The key question is which pedal system you are currently using and where the pedals will be used.
This makes PRO RL particularly interesting for riders who have considered Assioma before but did not want to change pedal standards. That limitation no longer exists.
First batches and availability
With new product launches, early availability is always a factor. The first shipments to dealers are leaving today, and the first batch will arrive at Toni’s Online Store in the coming days. If you already know these pedals are right for you, it makes sense to place your order early to secure delivery as soon as possible.
DUO and UNO remain unchanged
One important point is that Assioma DUO and Assioma UNO models remain unchanged with this release. Favero has confirmed that they will stay in the lineup with the same availability and pricing.
This is a smart decision. PRO RL does not replace the previous best-sellers. It simply adds a new option for riders who want Assioma PRO technology in a Look Kéo compatible format.
Conclusion
Assioma PRO RL is a highly anticipated release precisely because Favero did not change what already works. They extended the same PRO platform to a new pedal standard. This type of development is usually the most user-friendly approach, as the new model builds on an already proven technical foundation.
If you ride Look Kéo pedals and have been waiting for the Assioma PRO series in this standard, this is a very compelling option.
RL-1 is a clear choice if you want straightforward access to high-quality power measurement.
RL-2 is the right choice if you want dual-sided data from the very beginning.
Both models are now available in our store.
