Mavic are just launching some burlier trail SPDs, the Crossmax XL. In the past they tried producing mountain bike pedals, but struggled to produce one that met their exacting standards, so now they have partnered with Time to make their pedals. These will be instantly familiar to anyone who has run Time Attac pedals, but this is the start of the partnership for them and they were clear that they intend to producing something unique further down the line.
