The new KEO BLADE pedals are lighter and more durable than its predecessor, with a weight starting from 95g per pedal and a contact surface of 705mm².
These improvements provide greater stability during pedaling and eliminate hot spots, regardless of the material.
Furthermore, the rotation during the cleat engagement has been improved by 60%, offering a feeling of security and ease in hooking and unhooking.
