The LOOK Keo X-One G Max pedal is built specifically for gravel racers demanding road pedal power transfer on rugged off-road terrain. Developed alongside elite endurance athletes like Keegan Swenson, this pedal pairs an ultra-stiff, precision-machined recycled aluminum body with a heavy-duty chromoly steel spindle. The generous 650 mm² contact surface and 67 mm platform width ensure your shoe lugs lock in seamlessly to eliminate energy loss and foot fatigue.
Featuring a lightweight single-sided clipless mechanism that is fully SPD-compatible, the X-One G Max streamlines your setup while reducing rotational weight. The open architecture excels at shedding mud and trail debris, ensuring smooth engagement even in terrible weather. Adjustable spring tension lets you fine-tune the retention force to match high-wattage sprints or technical trail sections.
Inside the pedal, dual high-grade ball bearings paired with premium contact seals keep water and dust at bay, delivering buttery-smooth spinning across thousands of kilometres. At just 145 g per pedal, it strikes an exceptional balance between lightweight agility and durable strength.

Because the Keo X-One G Max utilizes a single-sided entry system to shave weight and boost stiffness, practice starting on steep gravel inclines before race day. Unweighted, the pedal hangs consistently at an angle; learning to flick the pedal forward with your toe allows you to clip in instantly on technical or loose starts.
