Just got home. They are fantastic! Reminds me a lot of clipless on tech climbs . They helped me get behind the bike on rocky descents and just a general feel of more control. Def get more bang for ya buck each pedal stroke. On a 20+ min climb I didn't use the easy gear once but did wheel spin a few times when standing up pushing through. Very happy with them ... Believe the hype buddy
They support your feet so well. I never even noticed them until the climb got steep and I blasted it. For me they felt like clipless but safer lol. Using the whole foot is great too and I found my calves doing more than my thighs . I have a 32t oval ring and it worked great
@FIVE8FIVE: mate I'm serious...these are the real deal. I usually do about about 20km each ride and while today was only under 9 km I'm expecting no foot arch pain.....they look great too
They are as wide as a normal pedal but you can use your heel to push through and balance . I even think they were great for rocky sections and jumping.
