Overview
What Makes the Look KEO Blade Different From a Normal Road Pedal?
The Look KEO Blade Pedals hold your cleat with a blade instead of the metal spring most clipless pedals use. That blade is Look's patented Blade technology, and it sits in a carbon body that Look optimized for aerodynamics, for 115 grams per pedal. This is the first model in the Keo Blade range, built on a Chromoly+ axle with steel bearings.
The platform is where you feel it on a long ride. A 705 mm2 contact surface across 64 mm of width, built from three stainless steel plates, spreads pressure to reduce hot spots, even in a stiff race shoe. Stack height is 14.8 mm with the cleat, so your foot sits close to the axle. Tension is not fixed either: blades come in 8, 12, 16, and 20 Nm and swap in under 30 seconds with one dedicated tool. Keo Grip cleats are included.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Look
There's more to Look than this one product. Our Look page has the full Look lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Look page →What is the blade and why does it matter?
The blade is a thin composite part that does the job of the metal spring in most pedals and sets the release tension. You change tension by swapping the blade rather than turning a screw, and Look builds it into a carbon body optimized for aerodynamics at 115 g per pedal.
Should I choose 8 Nm or 12 Nm?
The 8 Nm is Look's pick for riders discovering clipless pedals or riding for leisure, releasing at roughly 4 kg of lateral heel force. The 12 Nm suits a regular road cyclist on sporty rides at roughly 6 kg. If you are between the two, Look advises taking the lower one, since blades swap out in under 30 seconds.
What is the difference between 53 mm and 56 mm Q Factor?
Q Factor is the distance from the crank arm to the center of the pedal, which sets how far apart your feet sit. 53 mm is standard. Look says the 56 mm gives a slightly wider stance that can improve stability, comfort and hip, knee and ankle alignment, and recommends a bike fit to choose. The 56 mm version comes with the 12 Nm blade installed.
What bearings do these use?
Steel. If you want ceramic bearings, that is the KEO Blade Ceramic, which uses the same 705 mm2 platform.
Can I change the tension later?
Yes. Blades are sold separately in 8, 12, 16, and 20 Nm and swap in under 30 seconds with one dedicated tool, so you never have to buy a new pedal to change tension.
Do cleats come with them?
Yes. A pair of Keo Grip cleats is in the box, and any KEO cleat fits.
