How to Update Favero Assioma Firmware — Step by Step
Owning a power meter isn't just about training — it's also about keeping the device working at its best. Favero regularly releases software (firmware) updates for its Assioma pedals that add new features, improve connection stability and increase measurement accuracy. Updating is dead simple and takes only a few minutes.
Why update the firmware?
Manufacturers like Favero keep improving their products. Updates can bring:
- New features: Such as advanced Cycling Dynamics metrics (e.g. IAV Power Phase, IAV Rider Position).
- Bug fixes: Ironing out small connectivity or data-reporting issues.
- Algorithm improvements: More precise power and cadence measurement.
- Better power management: Longer battery life.
Updating the firmware step by step
All you need is a smartphone with internet access and the Favero Assioma app installed, plus your pedals.
- Get the app: If you don't have it yet, download the "Favero Assioma" app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
- "Wake up" the pedals: Turn the cranks a few times to activate the sensors in the pedals. The LEDs should start flashing.
- Turn on Bluetooth and connect: Make sure Bluetooth is on in your phone. Open the Favero Assioma app and search for your pedals. After a moment they should appear in the list of available devices.
- Check for an update: Once connected, the app checks the firmware version automatically. If a newer version is available, you'll see a clear notification with a button to start the update.
- Start the update: Tap the update button and follow the on-screen instructions. Important: keep your phone close to the pedals for the whole process and don't close the app. Updating both pedals (on the DUO version) usually takes 5 to 10 minutes.
- Check the status: When it's done, the app confirms the update succeeded. You can open the pedal settings to make sure the firmware version number matches the latest available one.
Summary
Checking for and installing firmware updates regularly is an easy way to keep your Favero Assioma pedals running at full performance with the latest features. It's worth getting into the habit of checking for new software every few weeks.
