Pros: Lots of grip
Lightweight
Thin

Recommendation: I switched back to platforms from clips because I was sick of worrying about having to unclip, especially in rock gardens and obstacles... who is really comfortable having their feet clipped in for that? I LOVE THESE PEDALS! They are really thin and lightweight, the grip really well, and I have yet to slip off. I bought some Teva Links shoes so that helps with holding the pins. I have my confidence back and can now tackle the rocks again. I have the orange version and they are a lot more anodized looking than the pictures let on. Perfect, reliable pedals!

Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Love the shape and the aspect that these have been forged rather than a cookie cutter design that many others follow. I also really love the 12mm thickness or thinness.

Cons: none

Recommendation: Installing these uses an 8mm allen key. Easy enough, but the best part of these pedals is that they do exactly what the marketers say it does, it does improve cornering and the platform holds the feet very well on the pedals. Definitely pedals I would recommend to anyone who is gravity oriented.
