FAQ

Are ceramic bearings worth it over the standard KEO Blade?

Look rates them at 18 percent less friction than steel with a service life four to six times longer. On a single ride the difference is small, but over a season of high mileage the durability is the real argument.

What blade tension do these ship with?

The 12 Nm blade is installed from the factory. That is Look's pick for a regular road cyclist on sporty rides, roughly a 6 kg lateral heel force to release.

Can I change the tension later?

Yes. Blades come in 8, 12, 16, and 20 Nm and swap in under 30 seconds with one dedicated tool. Look's guidance is that if you are torn between two tensions, start with the lower one, since moving up later only costs a blade.

Should I get 53 mm or 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 the standard stance. Choose 56 mm only if a fitter has told you that you need a wider one, or if you get knee tracking issues at 53.

Do cleats come with them?

Yes. A pair of Keo Grip cleats comes in the box. Any three bolt KEO cleat fits, so your existing float choice carries over.

How much do they weigh?

Look claims 115 g per pedal, and 300 g for the pair with cleats.
