Alberto Contador uses the first pedal dedicated to Time Trials!

TOUR DE FRANCE - TIME TRIAL
// Bordeaux – Pauillac 2010

LOOK achieves another first in professional cycling with the introduction of the world’s first aerodynamically designed pedal, KeO Blade Carbon Aero. Alberto Contador debuted them in the Prologue of the 2010 Tour de France and will use the KeO Blade Carbon Aero pedals once again in Stage 19 Bordeaux to Pauillac Time Trial.

LOOK KéO Blade Carbon Aero Pedals / Concept to Reality:

At last year’s Tour de France, Alberto Contador rode to victory in the last individual time trial around Lake Annecy using a prototype aero pedal. Since then, Contador and the LOOK Pedal Engineers have been working tirelessly to create a pedal that would give Contador an even greater advantage over his rivals. That advantage is now a reality with the KeO Blade Carbon Aero.

A Closer Look at the First Aero Pedal:

LOOK created this aero pedal in order to reduce drag and improve airflow while pedaling. In addition to improved aerodynamics, the body of the pedal is reinforced to deliver an even greater stiffness allowing for maximum power transfer.

A Pedal Designed with Speed in Mind:

The Kéo Blade Carbon Aero was tested in the wind tunnel at the Formula 1 Magny-Cours Racetrack in Nevers, France. The results showed an astounding saving in power, a direct result of reduced drag. The LOOK Kéo Blade Carbon Aero is the stiffest and most aerodynamically advanced pedal in the professional peloton.
