The new Keo 2 Max Pedals are an upgraded version of the original Keo’s, which in itself is a market leading pedal from the creators of the original clipless road pedals. They feature a lot of upgrades!
LARGE AND WEAR RESISTANT CLEAT CONTACT AREA
For a more efficient and more comfortable pedal stroke, the Kéo 2 MAXhas a cleat contact surface area 12% larger than the Kéo Carbon. To further improve the transfer of power and to longevity of the pedal, this surface area is made of stainless steel molded directly into the pedal body.
LIGHT: 122g/each pedal
At a mere 122 grams per pedal,(in Carbon Version, 130g in Composite), the Kéo 2 MAXis one of the lightest pedals in its category. This has been achieved through the use of a carbon injection process allowing for weight reduction and improved durability. The weight for the pedals with cleat and hardware is 312 gram.s
RELIABLE
Particular attention was focused on reliability and provided through features such as: a carbon injected pedal body, a stainless steel cleat contact area, an oversized axle with dual seals, making this a pedal built to last.
The new line of Kéo 2 MAXpedals maintains a low cleat contact height even with the use of a steel oversize axle. The pedal is built with two miniature ball bearings (12mm inner x 18mm outer diameters) and a needle roller bearing. LOOK axles are only approved once they have survived a million cycles at 100 revolutions per minute with a 90kg (198lbs) load at the center of the pedal and an eccentric rotation (replicating a bump each revolution). This test largely surpasses current standards (reference NF EN 14781).
Dual seals increase bearing longevity.
ADJUSTABLE Q-FACTOR
Thanks to 14mm of threads on the new LOOK axle, the Q-factor may be extended by 2mm with the use of specific washers available separately.
Use of these specific washers results in a Q-factor of 55mm versus the original 53mm.
