Look

This remarkable frameset builds into one incredible gravel bike. It's amazingly comfortable...the frame really dampens vibrations from the road/trail...but yet is incredibly stiff. Sound like a paradox? It's not...whatever LOOK did with this bike, it must be magic. Power transfer is instantaneous. The best part about this bike is its handling. It is so easy to ride, it's predicable, it carves through a corner and holds a line like it's on rails, all without you thinking about it. It just does whatever you want it to do...and does it very well...no arguments. If you never felt the biomechanical connection of bike and rider before, this bike will let you experience that feeling. It truly becomes an extension of you.

After several years with Shimano Ultegra pedals on my Eddy Merckx EM3, I have returned to my favored pedals from Look. I am an "old school guy" and have ridden with Look over past years and simply prefer the feel of these pedals as well as the ease of ingress/egress. The Keo 2 Max Carbon are light, have a simple clean look to them with plenty of freedom of movement. Very easy tension adjustment. The manufacture's description of "improved foot stability and comfort" are accurate.

This is my 2nd pair for a new gravel bike and they are working out just as well as the first pair. They feel more stable than the equivalent Shimano MTB. My only complaint about both of my sets is that after install I've had to loosen/adjust them to what I guess is the least tight setting, otherwise I have a struggle getting out of the cleats quickly when I need too, which is especially important on trails and gravel roads with the new gravel bike. But at the least-tight setting I can get out when I need to and yet they don't then release when I don't want them to when cranking up steep hills or whatever.

This pedal is a step forward. I have the Keo Classic 2 before these and due to the enlarged surface on top of the pedals I have less discomfort after really long rides
