Bontrager unveils Elite road pedals

Trek-owned brand offers new Look Kéo-compatible model

Bontrager has launched new Elite road pedals that are compatible with Look's Kéo clipless system.

The new pedals feature a composite body and weigh a claimed 250g per pair. To put that in context, the £180 Look Kéo Blade Carbon Ceramic pedals that we reviewed last year weighed 232g. Look's Kéo 2 Max Carbon pedals also weigh a claimed 250g and cost £95.

The Bontrager Elite pedals feature chromoly axles, sealed cartridge bearings and, like most other pedals of this kind, have an adjustable release tension. A metal plate across the centre of the pedal body is designed to increase durability.

The pedals come with a set of Look Kéo-style cleats with 6° of float (the angle to which your feet can move before the cleats disengage). Bontrager also offer cleats with 9° of float (£10.99).
