Look Keo 2 Max Carbon

A few years ago, I made the switch from Look to Speedplay. Speedplay were simply much lighter, so as a weightweenie, Speedplay looked very attractive. In that time period, Look have made huge improvements in catching up with Speedplay, the latest Look Keo 2 Max Carbon weighs in at a very lightweight 125g rams. This has moved Look into the same category as the top end speedplay, so adherents of Look no longer have to put up with the excess weight baggage they used to.

The weight reduction in the Look Keo 2 Max is made through injections of carbon fibre into areas of the pedal. This helps reduce weight whilst keeping the pedal strong and rigid for the maximum transfer of power to the bike.

The Look Keo 2 Max has also increased the pedal contact area by 14% over the old Look Keo Carbon, this increases the power transfer area. Look also say they have worked on increasing the longevity of the pedal through developments in the axle and bearings. Look pedals are easy to set up and can be used on any shoe designed for clipless pedals. Each pedal has its own variety of clicking into the pedal, but, once you get used to it it is fine.

As a final thought, the new look Keo looks more classy in black / silver.

At 110 Look is probably now better value than Speedplay, though I still feel Speedplay has advantage in greater float and greater pedal clearance.
