Good Features
 The pedals open binding mechanism matched with its light weight make it perfect for MTB or road cyclists. The small body makes this pedal attractive for road cycling. This pedal sheds mud really well with the open design. The cleat tension can be adjusted quite easily.

Bad Features
 Mountain bike riders may not be happy without a big platform for more aggressive riding styles. And some would consider them slightly heavy.

Recommended Alternatives
 You may also look into the Shimano M540 pedal or ATAC XS or ATAC XE.

    Review by Troy

    Good Features
     I've put some major hard miles on my pedals, and they seem to work really well. Easy entry and exit.

    Bad Features
     I'm very bow legged, and I come out way too easy... I personally need something with more float, but thats not Shimano's fault.

    Recommended Alternatives
     Crank Brother's egg beaters would be a good alternative.
