Favero has launched the Assioma PRO MX-2, a refresh of their flagship left/right power pedals. The new model adds Bluetooth 5.4, a longer battery life, and a redesigned spindle aimed at improving bearing durability.

What's newBluetooth 5.4 (vs. 5.3 on the original)150 hours rechargeable battery (vs. 120 hours on original)Redesigned spindle with improved bearing sealsUSB-C charging (same port as original)Same 卤1% power accuracy and 卤1% L/R accuracy

Why the spindle mattersThe original Assioma PRO MX had a known bearing-life issue after 12-18 months of heavy use (rain, mud, power washing). The redesigned spindle on the MX-2 uses a sealed cartridge bearing with better dust and water resistance. Favero claims the new design doubles bearing life in adverse conditions.

Compatibility and pricingMSRP $1,099 USD. Same as the original. Existing Assioma PRO MX owners can buy replacement spindles for $79 each (vs. $99 for the original design).

The verdictThe MX-2 is the right choice for new buyers. The improved battery and bearing design are meaningful upgrades. Existing MX owners don't need to upgrade unless their bearings are failing.
