Know before you buy
The Look Keo 2 Max Carbon pedals are compatible with all Look Keo cleats. They are not compatible with the older Delta-style cleats.
The carbon-injected body keeps the weight down to 244 grams per pair while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for efficient power transfer. It provides a lightweight, robust platform that is durable enough for daily road riding.
The stainless steel insert increases the contact surface area by 12% compared to previous models. This creates a more stable platform for your cleat, which improves power transfer and reduces wear on the pedal body over time.
No, the Look Keo 2 Max Carbon pedals do not feature adjustable release tension. The release effort is determined by the type of Look Keo cleat you choose to use, such as the black, grey, or red versions.
You can adjust the Q-factor by using specific pedal washers on the axle. Please note that these washers are typically sold separately and are required to increase the distance between the crank arm and the pedal.
Yes, they are well-suited for road cycling in various conditions. The oversized steel axle is protected by dual seals to keep moisture and debris out of the internal bearing system, ensuring smooth rotation.
