KeO Blade Pedals Carbon Chromoly Axle

The Look Keo Blade is the result of decades of pedal R&D. Every aspect of what is important in pedal design was considered for the development of the Keo Blade:

• Comfort
• Efficiency
• Weight
• Reliability 
• Safety. 

The Keo Blade incorporates a completely redesigned cleat retention system. Instead of a traditional double spring to retain the cleat, the Keo Blade employes a single carbon fiber blade that works in compression secure the cleat. The advantages are; retention of the cleat is improved, clipping in and out of the pedal is smoother and easier. The carbon fiber retention blade has a smoother transitional release arc than a spring.

The cleat platform provides 31% more cleat support the cleat than a Look Keo Carbon pedal. Additionally, the stainless steel platform significantly reduces pedal wear at the cleat contact point on the pedal body. The stainless surface also provides a better surface for cleat contact than the composite carbon body.

The KEO BLADE pedal does not require tension adjustment. The KEO Blade is available in two different tension models. The 12nm, which offers retention resistance for most cyclists and the 16nm for cyclists demanding a higher cleat retention.

Keo axles have been completely redesigned for strength and reliability. The new axles are oversized and triple sealed providing a new level of stiffness and wear. Triple seals keep the bearings tidy to improve pedal wear and longevity. Each axle is shock and fatigue tested. Axles are approved after a rotational test of a million eccentric (which creates the shock each revolution) cycles at 100 rpm loaded with 90kg loaded on the center of the axle. This is well above the required EN14781 test of 100,000 cycles at 65kg centered on the axle.
