Product Overview

Look's brand new Keo 2 MAX pedal as used by the Tour 2009 winner Alberto Contador and countless others. New for this model is an increased contact surface area and steel wear plate.

Lightweight:

At a mere 130g in composite the Keo 2 MAX is one of the lightest pedals in its category. This has been achieved through the use of a carbon injection process (carbon model) allowing for weight reduction and improved durability.

Increased reliability:

Particular attention was focused on reliability and provided through features such as: a stainless steel cleat contact area, an oversized axle with dual seals, making this a pedal built to last. The new line of Keo 2 MAX pedals 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 centre of the pedal and an eccentric rotation (replicating a bump each revolution). This test largely surpasses current standards (reference NF EN 14781). Dual seals help to 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.

"Bigger platform and smoother float for Look's updated KeO pedal..."

Look's ubiquitous KeO road pedal receives a significant update in the new KeO 2 Max, with a wider composite body and co-moulded stainless steel upper plate that lends a more solid feel underfoot and less out-of-plane rocking compared to the original KeO. When it comes for your mid-ride cafe stop, soft rubber pads on the front and back of the cleats help prevent embarrassing spills on slick floors.

Key Features:

A 12% larger contact area for increased efficiency, increased stability, comfortable stroke and peace of mind.
Supplied with Keo Grip cleats (grey).
CroMo axles.
Weight: 130g (Manufacturer claimed).

Item Code: 102116

Stable and secure - 7/10 - Review by Cycling Weekly - May 2010

It was pleasing to use the Keo 2 Max first time out, and immediately be able to notice the extra stability and secure feel offered by the larger platform, and subsequent increase in surface area contact for the cleat. A definite plus over the old Keo. Also, the previous flaw, that the cleat caused wear directly on the pedal body, has been successfully addressed by adding a stainless steel plate.
We like the price and weight (130g per pedal) plus the simple way of adjusting Q factor, with washers and a longer threaded portion, although we suspect for many the latter won't be in the purchasing criteria.

Good solid stomping platform - Review by Henry

Switching over from eggbeaters, I love the solid positive engagement. I feel confident getting out of the saddle without worrying about accidentally unclipping.
Need to get used to the one sided entry though. That's the only disadvantage of road pedals in general, except Speedplay I guess.

Great upgrade! - Review by ALEJANDRO

I have a pair of these on all three of my rigs; road, time trial and track. They make almost any frame look even better without adding much weight. Outstanding power transfer, easy to clean and service, and no hotspots even after long rides.

Great value pedals - variety of floats available - Review by GarethC

Strong, lightweight and easy to locate your cleat in. The pedals have adjustable tension as you'd expect, but the float adjustment is fulfilled by different coloured cleats (three available - red, grey and black).

Only drawback - a couple of embarrassing moments at the traffic lights when trying to get back in the pedals - the pedals do not naturally sit the right way up - an additional side to clip in or better weighting would be wonderful.

That said - at the price-point, they are a fantastic set of pedals!

Great value pedals - variety of floats available - Review by GarethC

A great mid-range pedal, providing 3 variations of float with different coloured cleats and easily adjustable tension on the pedal.

They are relatively lightweight, strong, and the contact is confident once clipped in.

Although the cleats are relatively easy to locate in the pedal (once you're used to the position on your shoe), the pedal does not naturally lie the right way up, occasionally causing some embarrassing moments at traffic lights! It would definitely benefit from better balance or a second entry on the other side.

Good Kit - Review by Tim

Pleased with these pedals having used a few look system pedals over the years. Can be a bit stiff to clip in, but once you are in they are smooth, clean, and transfer power well. White looks nice new, but scuffs up easily, next time I will get a darker colour.

Some people like pedal systems where you can clip in to either side, I agree this would be good thing which you don't get on these pedals.

Light and sleek-looking - Review by Ddude723

At 130g each, these pedals are some of the lightest for the money. The LOOKs look slick in any colour (maybe not the yellow though). They also make a reassuring solid click when you clip in, which is a plus.

More solid platform than the Keo Easy - Review by Tony

I like these alot. I have tried them after a couple years on the Keo Easy model and they are a marked improvement. They appear to be made out of similar materials but the platform is wider so you feel like you have more to push down upon. The ability to adjust the release pressure is a nice component that the Easy doesn't have. They seem to be a right solid piece of equipment.

Hmmm not a winner yet - Review by Duncan

These are a good 'pedal system' design, but with a cheap thermoplastic resin body they flex too much and develop slop very quickly. The design is not one for longevity. but a good entry point to try the 'system...before shelling out on the more expensive blade series. This is the entry level for mine (despite the Keo sprint etc...) the Blade is for those putting some serious kms in

great pedals - Review by Thomas

These are my favourite pedals, In fact, I just bought another pair for my other road bike...this time I got the white ones. Solid build, light, and easy to adjust. I'm a big guy and I really feel stable on these.

Very good pedals - Review by Vas

nice lightweight reliable pedals at a good price although it took some getting used to because it makes two noises when you try to clip in and I sometimes did not wait for the louder click and my feet came out but is easy to get used to

Big difference - Review by Joseph

I have ridden the Keo Easy for the past 3 years and finally decided to upgrade to the Keo 2 Max. What a difference. I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Great Quality Lightweight Pedals - Review by Matt

I upgraded from the classic pedals and these are lighter, stiffer, larger platform, and a lot better power transfer.

The larger platform is worth the upgrade and these pedals are a great bang for your buck!

I love these pedals! - Review by Dan

I have ridden with these pedals for over a year. I upgraded from a much older pair of Look pedals. I have not caught a pedal yet even when cornering hard and pedaling. They show very little wear and seem as good now as the day I put them on my bike.

Good lightweight pedal easy to clip in - Review by Matt

I had just upgraded form the classic pedals and the Keo Max are better in a lot of ways. They are lighter, easier to clip in and out, bigger platform to transfer power more efficiently, and they do not wear on the cleats as much as the classics do.

Excellent upgrade from Keo Classics - Review by BR

I recently bought these pedals from PBK and have just installed them for spring upgrading from Keo Classic pedals.

The larger platform makes for a more stable feel, which is a bonus over the classics. The grip cleats are much better than the standard cleats, since they don't slip. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you are getting on rollers during the winter in your home, the non-grip cleats could give way and make you fall.

I also love the look of them, and the new metal insert that prevents wear of the actual pedal itself.

Overall very smooth pedals, I have not had any issues with noise that some people have spoken about in other reviews.
