According to the product specialist
Pros
| These pedals have a superb price-performance ratio. |
| This pedal provides more support than the RS500. This makes these pedals more suitable for experienced cyclists. |
| The larger contact surface improves pedalling efficiency. |
| A steel plate on the composite body increases durability. |
| The spring tension of these pedals can be adjusted using an Allen key. |
| Thanks to its low spring tension this pedal is very suitable for novice cyclists who want easy to unclip pedals. |
| The low spring tension makes it easy to clip in and out of the pedal. |
| The large surface area facilitates the smooth transfer of power and reduces the risk getting sore feet. |
Cons
| These pedals are relatively heavy. |
| The bearings in these pedals are less durable than those in more expensive pedals. |
| The low spring tension makes this pedal less suited for competitions and performance-oriented cycling, as they are not secure enough during a full sprint. This should not be a problem during tour rides however. |
| This pedal is relatively heavy. |
