The new KEO BLADE CARBON is designed to win and improves the experience of spring blade technology in clipless pedals. This new version is the result of the experience of many years of technical development in our factory and constant improvements in daily contact with the greatest cycling champions.
The new KEO BLADE CARBON is light, aerodynamic, powerful and has all the advantages that allow you to improve your performance and optimise it to victory. This is why many cycling champions unanimously chose the KEO BLADE CARBON as their bike of choice and, in a way, used it as a weapon to achieve their greatest victories.
The KEO BLADE CARBON thus benefits from the best weight/performance ratio in its category.
The spring blade is fully integrated into the new design, which thus guarantees unsurpassed aerodynamics. The Blade Carbon with carbon body and spring blade is available as Ti version (with titanium axle) and a weight of only 95g per pedal or as Cr version (Chromoly + axle) with 110g per pedal. It is available in two release hardnesses: 8 and 12 Nm.
Features:
OPTIMISED AXLE LINE GREATER POWER TRANSMISSION AND RELIABILITY
The axle line of the new BLADE CARBON has been completely rethought. It has been built around an oversized axle and a cross-section axle line consisting of an internally positioned ball bearing and centred sleeve needle bearings under the bearing surface. This new design makes it possible to gain about 2 watts at 100 rpm.
The distance between the ball bearing and the sleeve needle bearing has been increased by 25%. This provides more stiffness for the entire axle line and consequently improves power transmission.
Special attention has also been paid to tightness. This has been improved by 120% for increased reliability and durability. For this purpose, the new axle line received a new cover with O-ring at its outer end. It is equipped with an internally positioned double lip seal.
LOOK axles are only released after a rotation test of 2 million cycles at 100 rpm with a load of 90 kg at the centre of the pedal and an eccentric rotation (resulting in a shock at each revolution). This is equivalent to Mark Cavendish sprinting at 1,700 watts at 100 rpm for 333 hours! This test goes far beyond the applicable EN 14781 standard.
SUPER STRONG SUPPORT SURFACE
To meet the needs of the most demanding riders - namely competitors - the pedal and cleat system must allow efficient power transmission with a large and rigid contact surface.
The support surface of the BLADE CARBON is equipped with a 67mm wide attached and moulded plate made of stainless steel. It optimises the pedal plate / pedal contact areas for every pedalling angle.
With a contact surface of 700mm², the BLADE CARBON offers an optimised contact surface for efficient power transmission that is unrivalled on the market.
Its weight / power ratio performs significantly better than that of the competition.
CARBON TECHNOLOGY IN PEDAL BODY AND SUSPENSION LEAF
The use of carbon in the pedal body and spring blade allows for a lower pedal weight while increasing stiffness for better power transmission.
The BLADE technology is a significant technological innovation in the history of clipless pedals, as it confers numerous advantages:
