I can wholeheartedly recommend the assioma duo power meter. Significantly cheaper than Garmin, slightly lighter and I have none of the complaints Taren pointed out in his video. They consistently read within 1-3 watts of my kickr (I check once or twice before each race as I mostly train indoors). I have no connectivity issues, super easy to charge and batteries last very long. Bottom line: If you're looking for a good pedal power meter, do a bit of your own research. Garmin is just one of many good solutions out there and others with the same or better quality can be significantly cheaper!

Thanks for this, I decided to go for the Garmin because of the Q factor that the assioma have.

Agree. Rechargeable & Reliable batteries put Assioma on top for me.

I've had my rallyxc's for a 4 months and zero issues! I live the ability to move pedals from bike2bike. Big fan!!

Thanks Taren. I know this review is about a year old but this really helped me make my decision. I be purchasing these pedals very. Thanks again. Steve 👍

I have had great results with the Garmin Vector 3 (road) and Rally 100 (dirt) pedals. The pedal bodies are easy enough to replace.

Just ordered the XC100’s.. Great Review.. 🇺🇸

As Taren mentions, DC Rainmaker is the go to resource for all things bike and tri tech.

Nice advertising ! Let's asskiss Garmin more ! Garmin vector 3s never needed a torque wrench to put on. That's why there's a "calibration" option in software to detect current strain gauge deformation. Garmin vector 3 was actually more precise than rally (maybe they cut cost on components) - looking at the forums. The PCB is exactly behind the black "window" - where the led is. All the guts are in the spindle (not some). Garmin actually REBRANDED vector 3, changed the name and the housing to have metallic threads so they can't be stripped so easy. The powermeter is EXACTLY the same. I am amazed that they bothered to change the name in the firmware. I repaired a few of theese for battery depletion problems - and can't wait to open up a rally spindle. I am sure the BT/CPU from Analog devices and the strain gauges are exactly the same. So .... same product. Different name. Double the price. Your best option is to get garmin vector 3 and use the spindle with an XC (or whatever) housing from the upgrade KIT that they sell ! Cheapest option. Same shit.

great review. looking the XC200s for any MTB since I am already int the Garmin eco system. Also considered the SRAM X power. Thanks for doing the work to allow us to make informed buying decision.

Thanks for the review. Your content is consistently good and helpful.

I have the xc100 and it's totally off if not tightened properly. I had about 30-40w lower power when compared to my trainer. Tightening the pedal fixed the issue. Also sw update is not possible with Edge 830 or Android phone.

The biggest issue I had with the Vector was stripping the threads on the battery housing. About the 3rd or 4th battery change the plastic threads just gave up. Have they addressed this issue?

Don't overtight them. Easy.

Check out Favero as a better alternative. I love Garmin for GPS and edge head units and those link well with Favero pedals.

What are the two washers for? Can't even find it in the manual

Will these only work with Garmin head units?

Have you tried them on your FatBike ? I’m curious to know if they can deal with below -20C temperatures Thus far, Stages don’t and Quarq do in my experience. Bummer for that rust though.

I have tested in -12C degrees. During the ride I had performance calibration failed -message. Showing -7 number. Normal calibration was ok and the power reading felt correct. Snow clearance was very good, much better than in original shimano pedals.

@@Jcool721 thanks for sharing. Back then I went ahead and bought a set of XC100. It’s not been a very cold Winter and only rode a couple of times in -10 to -15c temperature and all was good.

Own a pair of vector 3s. Never had any problems. Very correct power. Use a little too much battery thats all

I had the same problem and Garmin switched me to the long batteries along with new computer boards. So far it seems to have helped out quite a bit.

IQ2 offers pedals which are at least as good at a much lower price 😂 I ordered a pair a few years ago, I am sure I will get them very soon.

lol, you reminded me - they promised SPD pedals from day1 !

After knowing the price I’m like nah

Its going to be funny that my petals is going to be worth more than 3 times more expensive than my bike.

Hard to trust Garmin after so many failed attempts and years of unreliable pedals - Assioma Duo pedals are much better

power mtb pedals is great until you bash them on a rock, bye bye $2000
