Single sided pedals
Genetic Syngenic pedals
Genetic's Syngenic pedals might well be faithful copies of Look’s justly popular ARC design but nice detailing and great build quality distinguishes them from a sea of clones. True, some may baulk at the relatively steep (20mm) axle to sole measurement and the KEO type just pip them to the post when it comes to power transfer but they’re fantastic starter pedals if you are either new to single sided road pedals or want some dependable starter kit for a stab at racing.
BBB Comp Dynamic M pedals
BBB’s Comp Dynamic M are Look Keo pattern pedals combining low weight, nice detailing and easy spares availability in a competent package but the painted finish wears quickly and urban fixers or anyone else prone to grounding pedals when cornering hard might be better served with minimalist Eggbeaters or even clipless mountain bike pedals.
Miche MT4 pedals
Weighing in at 332g the pair plus 76g for the cleats, the Miche MT4s aren’t the lightest pedals around but they’re built to last and they work great.
Miche Supertype MT7 pedals
This is the flagship pedal from Italian brand Miche, and an impressive design it is too. Our pair hit the scales at 266g – 342g including the cleats – which is lightweight although not quite super-light. You do, though, get a very large platform to spread the load and keep pressure to a minimum.
The body of the pedal is CNCed alloy, the axle is titanium and the fastening plate is carbon fibre. You control the locking/release force via an Allen bolt at the back and a little display tells you the level of tension.
