Does anyone know why is look keo 2 max blade being sold cheaper than Look keo 2 max?

 

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I think the reason may also be partly that they're only available in white at CRC/wiggle. I was looking at them myself for the winter bike a little while ago after moving from SPD-SL to Keos on my power meter pedals on the good bike. Some people may want white pedals or not care, but I'm more shallow than them!

I've been using Look pedals for the past 14 years... I needed pedals for a new training bike, so I wasn't sure.

I'm very like: stick to whatever works well, altough sometimes I like to try new equipments do see if they could perform better.

 I should have gone for the Look keo 2 max carbon, however I decided to give it a try on the Look keo 2 max blades.

 

Hopefully this heat wave will hit soon and I will be able to take the bike for a spin.

 

Thanks for you input VeloUSA.

Looking at you feeback there, I'm not entirely sure I went for the right one.

The Keo 2 composite body pedal pricing are the same here in the states; Blade cheaper than Max. I can only assume Look is redesigning the Blade and dumping old stock.

Cons are:

* No user tension adjustment
* Cleats don’t play well with dirt
* Cleats wear quickly
* Release is initially tight

States pricing:

Composite Blades are €34 - €69

Composite Max are €81 - €91
