According to the product specialist
Pros
The extra light spring in the pedal makes engaging or disengaging easier. Ideal for beginners. |
The spring tension can be adjusted with a small allen key, meaning you can increase the spring tension if you so require. |
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 pedals are perfectly suited to beginner cyclists. |
The large surface area ensures extra efficient power transmission. |
The Time pedals are very light. |
Cons
The bearings are of a lesser quality than the high-end pedals, but then the price is proportionally lower as well. |
Relatively heavy. |
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. |
The cleats have 0 degrees of play. |
