The pedals are designed to win and enhance the experience with spring leaf technology on clipless pedals. This new version is the result of many years of technical development and constant improvement in daily contact with the greatest cycling champions. Like its predecessor, the click mechanism of the Kéo Blade pedals comes without a spiral spring. The tension for clicking in and out is only generated by a carbon leaf spring. This allows a more defined exit from the pedal and a significantly faster release of the foot at the end of the exit. To satisfy the needs of all drivers, there is the Kéo Blade with 3 different release hardnesses with 12, 16 or 20 Nm release hardness. The 12Nm version will satisfy most riders, while 16 and 20Nm are suitable for powerful riders and sprinters looking for extra grip on the pedal. Look recommends entering at 12 Nm to gain experience and, if necessary, switch to a harder version. Thanks to a special tool, the leaf spring can be exchanged to change the release hardness.
The perfect integration of the carbon leaf spring makes the Blade the most aerodynamic pedal on the market. 2 channels on the sides additionally support the optimal air flow. In comparison to the previous version, Look has optimized the bearing surface of the pedal plate on the stainless steel surface of the pedal. With a contact area of 700 mm², the contact area has almost doubled. Nevertheless, the weight of the pedals could be further pushed down by a slimmer axle line and a lower step height. Long service life is guaranteed by the double seals and complex material tests of axle n, which far exceed the applicable standards.
