Look: From ski bindings to SPD enduro pedals
With the X-Track Race pedal presented in fall 2017, Look is moving away from a system that required proprietary cleats and now works with SPD cleats. This has already resulted in a surge in popularity for the X-Track Cross Country pedals - and is now followed by two new counterparts, the X-Track En-Rage and X-Track En-Rage Plus pedals, which also work with SPD cleats.
These new En-Rage pedals are designed to appeal primarily to enduro riders in the Plus version (which weighs 500 grams per pair of pedals including cleats). This is because the pedal body of the X-Track En-Rage Plus offers a larger contact surface (664 square millimetres) than the non-Plus version (545 square millimetres) and has two additional pins on each side. The pins and the ribbed pedal body are there in particular to provide perfect grip at higher speeds and even when unclicked. The contact surface or width between the pedal and shoe of the Plus pedal is around 67 millimetres.
The X-Track En-Rage pedal, which is slightly lighter and narrower at 470 grams, is perfect for use on narrow and steep single trails, but is also ideal for enduro use. The aforementioned contact width here is around 63 millimetres, compared to the X-Track Race pedal, where this area is 60 millimetres.Both pedal types have axles that are equipped with a double, weather-resistant seal to ensure that the pedal bearings can withstand even the most adverse conditions and enable long-term smooth running.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German.
