Training with power has changed cycling forever
Just a few years ago, power training was reserved for professional teams and top-level riders. Today any enthusiast can access this technology thanks to power meter pedals, an accurate solution that is easy to install and compatible with most bikes.
At 33 Bike more and more customers ask us which Favero model to buy. The answer depends on the type of cycling you do, your goals and how much analysis you want from each session.
Favero has become one of the best-known power meter manufacturers on the market thanks to the accuracy of its measurements, easy installation and excellent value for money. Its range includes specific models for road, MTB and gravel, with both single and dual sensors.
In this guide we analyse the whole range to help you choose the model you really need.
Why train with a power meter?
Many cyclists still train by feel alone or use heart rate as their reference. Although both methods are useful, neither offers the accuracy of a power meter.
Training with power tells you exactly how much effort you are making at any moment, regardless of wind, gradient or temperature. This means more efficient training, better control of training load and progress that is much easier to measure.
Its main advantages include:
- Objective measurement of performance.
- More precise training.
- Better pacing on climbs and in races.
- Real tracking of your progress.
- Compatibility with Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead and Zwift.
🔧 Tip from the 33 Bike workshop
Many customers think a power meter is only worth it if they race. Our experience is different: those who train two or three times a week also notice a big improvement, because they stop training "by intuition" and start training with real data.
Why choose a pedal-based power meter?
There are power meters built into the cranks, the bottom bracket spindle or the chainring spider. However, pedal-based models offer several very interesting advantages.
The main one is how easy it is to move the power meter from one bike to another in a few minutes, without special tools. They also let you keep your favourite cranks and simplify maintenance.
That is why Favero has become one of the benchmark brands on the market.
