Very good pedal

- Stephan, 10 June, 2021

Have driven the last 20 years LOOK Keo. Actually, I was always satisfied. Annoyed only the cleats, which at some point began to squeak. Now drive the Shimano Ultegra pedals. My first impressions are -certainly subjective- very positive. The Einklicken goes more precisely, I'm faster "in it", the connection is secure and my yellow cleats allow a light and well-dosed mobility in the pedal. I now use the 4mm extended axle and have found that this is very comfortable to ride. How long the yellow plastic dots on the cleats will last remains to be seen. When walking, I find them very comfortable. However, they also wear out quickly. Basically, the change was for me but a good decision.

Pros & Cons

Easy and precise click in
Easy to get off
Longer axle selectable
Secure connection
Stable pedal

This pedals is highly revommended for any cycling enthusiasts, high quality carbon fiber with a wide platform, you can expect a great power transfer everytime you push the pedals.

Correct store bad transport

- MARCELIANO, 12 August, 2021

Good online store and fast order processing service. Another thing is the shipping company that did not deliver the order, despite having paid for it, and did not leave any notification. I found out through the web store when I saw the order status. To my surprise I saw that I was supposed to pick up the order at the pack point. I have not yet been contacted by the carrier and Tampico store to refund the difference in shipping costs.

A comfortable and quality pedal system

- Gary, 12 February, 2022

This is a great quality pedal and the price offered by Mantel was between €30-€50 cheaper than some of the other online retailers I usually buy from. The SPD pedal provides a slightly larger footprint compared to other pedals and of course the extra 4mm space on the axel is great for anyone with a wider foot and hips.

Price-quality a great set of pedals with sealed bearings.

- Jesse, 14 August, 2023

Very nice pedals. Thanks to the sealed bearings, these pedals last longer and keep running smoother. The price is only slightly higher than the 105 model and therefore really the right choice for me. Turns very smoothly and lightly. Cleats included. I don't want anything else!

Comfortable pedals, but definitely not cheap

- Gary, 16 February, 2021

I'd only ever used Look pedals before switching to Shimano SPDs. The good news is that the changeover was seamless, no small pains or need to make minor adjustments. I just switched the cleats over and clipped in! I've done approx. 120km so far on a mixture if road & turbo, all is good. The main reason I changed to these pedals was to benefit from the slightly larger footprint of the pedal & the extra 4mm clearance. So far I'm very happy, however they are not cheap.

Extra clearance
