We've been spending a lot of time scanning deals here. And one thing that's really jumped out is that, not only are there not that many power meter discounts currently on Amazon – some of the base list prices are significantly higher than other retailers.

The Favero Assioma power pedals in particular: we've been massive fans of their reliability, rechargeability and competitively low price – but not so on Amazon, where they've put the price up $92.01 higher than on Wiggle.

In the UK (the section is just below) Sigma Sports is the place to go, with much cheaper prices and currently a £25 off a £250 spend offer to stack on top too.

Favero Assioma DUO Power Meter Pedals

$759.00 on Amazon US

$666.99 on Wiggle US

Sure, neither of these are currently on a discount – but if you're after a set of power meter pedals right now, seriously don't buy them from Amazon. Favero's Assioma DUO Power Meter Pedals are currently $92.01 cheaper on Wiggle. With dual power sensing and a rechargeable battery, they're a firm favourite here at Cycling Weekly.

Similarly if you're after a cheap, straightforward and fast way of getting power data from your rides, the single sided version of the Assioma power pedals is much better bought off Wiggle than Amazon.

$699.99 $649.99 at Amazon US

$700.00 $649.99 at REI

Off-road and for SPD two-bolt cleats, it's a different story – here Amazon is at least matching the prices that can be found elsewhere. The price is a bit steep compared to the Favero road pedals, but then there aren't many power pedals that are SPD compatible. Right-side pedal upgrade kits and replaceable pedal bodies make Garmin's Rally power pedals particularly adaptable.

Favero Assioma DUO Power Meter Pedals

£679.99 at Amazon UK

£576.00 at Sigma Sports – save 20%

Interestingly, the list price is a little higher on Sigma than it is on Amazon. But there's no arguing with a 20% discount – and that's not even including Sigma Sport's  extra £25 off for new customers. You can read our full review on the Favero Assioma pedals over here.

Favero Assioma UNO Power Meter Pedals

£544.68 at Amazon UK

£380.00 at Sigma Sports – save 20%

With the single-sided sensing UNO version, things switch around – even Sigma's list price is cheaper than that on Amazon. Factor in the 20% off and the £25 saving for new customers, that's £355 for a pedal based power meter – that's astonishingly low! You can always upgrade the other pedal down the line if you do end up wanting the extra power balance data.

Garmin Rally XC100

£694.29 at Amazon UK

£496.00 at Sigma Sports – save 20%

You might be starting to notice a bit of a theme here... again Sigma Sports is the significantly better buy right now, with a £200 price difference going up to £225 for new customers. This is the single sided version of the Rallys for SPD cleats – but thanks to Garmin's new platform, there's a wealth of upgrade options: right pedal upgrade kits and replaceable pedal bodies for use with road cleats.

So there you have it – Amazon really isn't doing so well for the power meter deals right now. On the other hand, smart watches, head units and a whole wealth of other kit have been bestowed some pretty hefty discounts.
