SAINT SPD Pedal vs System pedal Road PD-S13 review

Clip into the SAINT M820 series SPD pedal's robust retention claws for serious downhill riding. Improved axle durability raises these thin and tough pedals to a new level. Experience even better bike control by pairing with SHIMANO GR series shoes.

The XLC Road System Pedal PD-S13 is a one-sided clipless pedal compatible with Look Keo cleats. The pedal system is adjustable so you can decide how easy or difficult you want it to be to clip in and out. Constructed with an aluminium body, these pedals will last no matter how much power you put through them. A sturdy yet lightweight construction means you can hammer them pretty hard when you need to, but won’t end up paying a hefty weight penalty when the road turns upwards. XLC have used a CroMo axle, and a CNC-machined sealed sliding cartridge bearing for ultimate smoothness in your pedal stroke. Sealing the bearing means it won’t be at risk from mud and water ingress, which in turn would strip the grease from the bearing, significantly reducing the lifespan of the pedal. The PD-S13 road pedals are compatible with Look Keo cleat systems. Inside the box is a set of cleats with six degrees of float. show less
