Favero Assioma PRO RL Released: RL-1 or RL-2 Look Kéo Power Meter Pedals
Updated September 4, 2026: This article now includes the new role of Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 and RL-2 power meter pedals in MyWhoosh Sunday Race Club racing.
Favero Assioma PRO RL brings the Assioma PRO series measurement technology to the Look Kéo pedal standard. This is particularly relevant for road cyclists and triathletes who want the newer PRO architecture without moving away from the Look Kéo system.
The key idea behind PRO RL is that Favero has expanded the same PRO platform to another pedal standard. The technical core remains familiar while the pedal body changes.
You can find both models at Toni's Online Store:

The same PRO platform, now Look Kéo compatible
Favero Assioma PRO RL uses the same spindle technology as the PRO MX and PRO RS models. The electronics are located inside the spindle, just as in the other PRO models, so the fundamental measurement architecture remains familiar across the range.
From a user perspective, this is a significant advantage. A new pedal standard does not mean starting again with an entirely new measurement platform. The Look Kéo compatible pedal body is combined with Favero's established PRO spindle concept.
The modular construction is also one of the most interesting characteristics of the PRO series. The measurement electronics are located inside the spindle while the pedal body remains a separate component. This makes replacing a worn pedal body easier and gives the platform greater long-term flexibility.
RL-1 or RL-2, what is the practical difference?
Assioma PRO RL is available as a single-sided or true dual-sided power meter system.
RL-2 measures power independently from both pedals. RL-1 is supplied as a complete pair of pedals, but the power sensor is located only in the left pedal and total power is calculated from the left-side measurement.
The Favero Assioma PRO RL-UP upgrade kit allows an RL-1 system to be upgraded to dual-sided measurement later.
Not every rider needs dual-sided measurement from the beginning. The ability to upgrade later without replacing the complete pedal system is therefore a clear advantage.
RL-1 is a strong choice when the goal is high-quality pedal-based power data at a lower entry price. It works well for training-load monitoring, threshold sessions, race pacing and structured power-based training.
RL-2 is the clear choice when true independent left and right measurement is wanted from day one.
How does PRO RL compare with PRO RS and PRO MX?
The choice between Assioma PRO models mainly comes down to pedal standard and intended use.
PRO RL is designed for Look Kéo users.
Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 is designed for Shimano SPD-SL users.
Favero Assioma PRO MX-2 uses the two-bolt Shimano SPD standard and is intended for gravel, mountain biking and other off-road riding.
From a measurement perspective, they belong to the same PRO family. The main question is therefore which pedal and cleat system you use and where the pedals will be ridden.
Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 and RL-2 in MyWhoosh Sunday Race Club
In September 2026, MyWhoosh and Favero Electronics announced a new collaboration that gives Favero Assioma PRO power meter pedals a central role in power measurement and verification within MyWhoosh Sunday Race Club racing.
From October 4, 2026, all Category 1 Sunday Race Club riders and Category 2 riders who have earned more than USD 2,000 in MyWhoosh prize money during the relevant qualification period must use an approved dual-sided Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 or PRO RL-2 setup to remain eligible for prize money.
For riders using Shimano SPD-SL cleats, the approved option is the Favero Assioma PRO RS-2.
For riders using Look Kéo cleats, the approved option is the Favero Assioma PRO RL-2.
For affected riders, the Assioma PRO pedals become the primary in-game power source. Power measured by the pedals controls the rider's in-game performance and provides the official power data used for race results and post-race verification.
The smart trainer remains connected and continues to provide resistance and gradient simulation. Trainer-reported power, however, no longer determines official race power for the affected riders.
This effectively reverses the traditional e-racing setup. Previously, the smart trainer generally provided the primary in-game power signal while an external power meter acted as a secondary verification source. Under the new system, the Assioma PRO pedals become the primary measurement device while the trainer concentrates on resistance control.
The single-sided PRO RS-1 and PRO RL-1 models are not among the approved models for this Sunday Race Club prize-eligibility requirement. Riders purchasing pedals specifically to meet the requirement therefore need to choose between RS-2 and RL-2.
Affected riders without a compliant pedal setup are still allowed to participate in Sunday Race Club events, but they are not eligible to receive prize money until the hardware requirement has been met.
MyWhoosh also strongly recommends Assioma PRO for other Sunday Race Club participants.
MyWhoosh and Favero are also introducing a dedicated MyWhoosh eSports Race Mode. Once available, affected riders will need the required Favero firmware and app updates as part of the approved setup.
DUO and UNO remain part of the range
PRO RL does not replace the original Assioma UNO and DUO models. They continue to provide alternative Look Kéo compatible options alongside the newer PRO RL platform.
One of the key differences with PRO RL is the newer PRO architecture, where the measurement electronics are located inside the spindle and the pedal body is a separate replaceable component.
Conclusion
Assioma PRO RL is interesting precisely because Favero did not abandon a proven technical concept. Instead, the company expanded its PRO platform to another pedal standard.
For riders already using Look Kéo, the RL series provides direct access to the Assioma PRO platform without changing cleat systems.
RL-1 is the logical choice when high-quality power measurement is the priority and single-sided measurement is sufficient.
RL-2 is the right option when true independent left and right power data is wanted from the beginning. It is also the approved Look Kéo option for riders covered by the new MyWhoosh Sunday Race Club prize-eligibility hardware requirement.
For Shimano SPD-SL users, the corresponding MyWhoosh option is RS-2.
