The pedal body is carbon-fibre-reinforced engineering plastic paired with a titanium alloy spindle, keeping the pair at approximately 180g with lock plates adding about 52g, making them a genuinely lightweight option for road bikes. This construction balances low weight with the durability needed for regular riding.

Yes, clipless pedals require compatible cycling shoes with a cleat mounting pattern that matches the included lock plates, so a regular sports shoe won't clip in. Make sure your shoes, or the cleats you buy, are compatible with this pedal's locking system before installing.

They can be used by beginners, but clipping in and out takes some practice, so we recommend practicing clip-in and release on a stationary bike or soft grass first until it becomes second nature. Most riders adjust within a few short rides once they get used to the twisting motion needed to unclip.

These are designed specifically for road bicycles and road-bike-style riding, based on their build and application. They're not intended for MTB or off-road clipless use, which typically needs recessed, mud-shedding pedal designs instead.

Periodically clean dust, grit and water off the pedal body and cleat mechanism, and apply a light lubricant to the spring or locking mechanism to keep the clip-in and release action smooth, especially after riding in rain or dusty conditions. Check the spindle and lock plate screws occasionally to ensure they haven't loosened.
