very good power sensor for the price, which gives me complete satisfaction and which I switch between 2 bikes I was able to progress very quickly I can load it very quickly, so it's a bargain to buy without hesitation.
I will start by saying that I purchased this meter after testing at least 5 other models of various brands, so I have gained some experience. I was recommended these by several people and so I decided to purchase them here on mantel and try them out. As always the site is really top notch, shipped me the product in record time when other retailers used to take even several weeks before they had the product at home. Inside the box in addition to the pedals are 2 power cables to charge them and a transformer, instruction manual, 2 types of shoe cleats, an 8mm hex key to mount them. As soon as they arrived I immediately read the really well written instruction manual, installed them on the bike very easily using the 8mm wrench inside the box, after which I put them on charge and within a couple of hours they were ready to use. Of course as the instructions say before using them they have to be paired and enabled from the app, also a super easy operation. As soon as they were charged I immediately tested them on the road and noticed from the start extreme precision and speed in noticing the change in power and cadence. Let me explain better, I used to use other gauges on both bottom bracket and cranks that were never super accurate on cadence, for example they always oscillated between 2-3 rpm, which is not serious at all but still these do not do, these remain stable even on the rpm and as soon as you pedal more agile they quickly change the data. Then on the power the same thing, it doesn't have sudden drops, when you raise the pace slightly they increase the watts correctly without going up excessively and then coming back down, it goes up steadily and stays as it is. Other note and important thing for me is that using before sensor on crank when I stood up on the pedals I would notice a very big sudden drop in power, I would often get even 50 watts difference between sitting and standing on the pedals, which is really impossible in reality. Whereas with these the power remains the same whether sitting or standing, in fact, in some cases standing on the pedals is even higher as it should be by pushing harder. Also the balance I would say works very well, useful to see on the laps or at the end of the lap how you have pedaled, I did some tests pushing more with one leg than with the other and the pedals immediately noticed the difference giving consistent values. Also the body of the pedal I found it more than excellent, accustomed me to look pedals I did not find particular differences on the attack and detachment, super precise also in this, it is also possible as on the other pedals to adjust them so as to make the attack harder, also as cleats I used those look gray and they did not give me any problem, despite inside the box there are other cleats provided by favero. As battery life I can not yet make my judgment being that after the first charge I have not yet exhausted it, but I do not think they have this kind of problem. To close the review I would like to say that as average values I found it in line with other 2 gauges used, for example stages and power2max having also used them at the same time precisely to compare them, so there is no need to change training references. So really super recommended, for now I am finding myself very very well, complete and defined meter, easy to mount and to move from one bike to another without performing long calibrations, it's just a thing of a couple of seconds. As always Mantel at the top but I had no doubt about that.

I had a Stages single sided crank but got a winter bike that didn't have Hollowtech cranks. So I decided to take the plunge after seeing the top notch reviews of the Assioma duo pedals. I paid less than I did for a single sided Stages & I've been impressed so far. The app is easy to use, pedals very easy to setup & swap between bikes. Wish I'd pulled the trigger & bought these sooner. Cycling dynamics is really handy for finding weaknesses in your pedal stroke & means you can pinpoint the areas you need improvement. Highly recommend & Mantel are very low priced.
