According to the product specialist
Pros
These pedals have a superb price/quality ratio. |
When you are clipped into these pedals the fit is tighter than that of the RS500. This makes these pedals more suitable for experienced cyclists. |
The larger contact surface has improved pedalling efficiency. |
A steel plate on the resin body increases durability. |
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. |
The spring tension can be tuned with great precision, allowing you to finely adjust how easy it is to (dis)engage the pedal. |
The large surface area under the cleat improves stability. |
A lot lighter than its predecessor, the Look Keo Classic 2. |
Cons
The pedals have a high weight. |
The bearings in these pedals are less durable than those in higher-priced 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. |
This pedal is less tight when engaged, which makes it less suitable for fanatical cyclists and races. |
