Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- 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 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.

Very fast delivery. Assembly very easy. Super satisfied with the pedals as they are really firm and comfortable. I didn't put them on the firmest and now I already have to apply force to click out, it's not like there is too little click tension.

large contact surface and comfort
