Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Pedals. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Look X-Track Race MTB Pedals.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Look X-Track Race MTB Pedals is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Pedals. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Pedals. Brands like Look are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Pedals category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Pedals.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

  • Description: Look X-Track Race MTB PedalsWith a heavy-duty engagement mechanism, the Look X-Track Race MTB Pedals have been made to handle the abuses of rocks, roots and mud, providing durable, dependable performance in an easy to use package. The spindle is equipped with a double weather resitant seal to stand up to the worst conditions that you’re likely to encounter on the bike and the platform size has been optimised to provide the best power to weight ratio on the market.

Look’s objective with the X-Track Race pedals was to find solutions that would enable the most efficient transfer of rider power possible. That is why Look has chosen to place the weight/contact surface ratio as the primary factor when defining the product. Generally speaking, the greater the contact surface, the more efficiently energy is transferred. On the other hand, the greater the contact surface, the more the pedal will weigh. The challenge faced by Look’s engineers was to identify the zones that are useful for energy transmission and then optimise the pedal design in order to limit any that are unused. This task allowed Look to engineer a pedal with the best weight/contact surface ratio on the market.Lateral Contact Support:¬†Lateral contact support guides your foot in finding your pedal and provides you a point of contact even if you have not yet engaged the cleat. This wide contact area prevents your foot from sliding on the pedal body and offers consistent and reassuring support.Mechanism Geometry:¬†The forces experienced when riding in wet conditions varies greatly compared to riding in the dry but the highest performance is always expected regardless of weather conditons. The mechanism in the Look X-Track Race pedals works regardless of external conditions and more space allows for the shedding of mud, dirt and grit. These zones give the user a constant and stable feeling of being securely clipped in, in all conditions.Adjustable Spring Tension:¬†An adjustable tension screw allows you to fine-tune the entry/release resistance of the spring mechanism to suit your personal skill level and preferred feel.Buy¬†Look Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
