Overview
Clipping into SPD-SL cleats is the purpose of this road bike pedal, which has a carbon-composite body in black and a standard thread size for road cranks. The title is in German and names it a road bike pedal.
The reason to buy is a lightweight composite road pedal from a major component maker with a two year warranty. The limit is the thin, partly German listing, which says nothing about cleats, float or stack height.
Who it's for
Road cyclists who already ride the SPD-SL system and want a direct replacement. Riders on other cleat types, or those who want flat pedals for casual use, should buy a different pedal.
Pros and cons
- Road bike design
- Two year warranty
- Standard thread size
- Cleats not confirmed
- Float and stack height not listed
- Title is in German
Performance notes
A clipless pedal holds the shoe through the cleat, so power transfer depends on the cleat match and shoe fit. The composite body lowers weight, and a full engagement before each stroke prevents slips. The listing gives no float or release tension figures.
