This first model in the Keo Blade range features a Chromoly+ axle and steel bearings. Incorporating the patented LOOK Blade technology within a carbon body optimized for aerodynamics, these clipless pedals (Q Factor 53 mm) provide lightness, stability, and durability, but above all, a wide support surface for maximum power transfer with every pedal stroke. Weighing only 115 g (per pedal) and designed for aerodynamic efficiency, the Keo Blade ensures intuitive clipping in/out, secure retention, as well as uncompromising comfort and performance to help you reach new heights on the road.
Why You'll Love It:
Maximized Power Transfer
A generous support surface of 705 mm² on a carbon body
All the rigidity and technology of the carbon blade to optimize every pedal stroke
Enhanced comfort through even pressure distribution under the foot
With its 705 mm² of cleat contact surface and a supportive width of 64 mm, the Keo Blade ensures even pressure distribution under the foot with every pedal stroke. This setup minimizes the risk of “hot spots” or foot discomfort, regardless of the stiffness of your shoes. Comprised of three stainless steel plates, the extended support surface provides enhanced stability, reducing unwanted movements and lateral tilting during pedaling.
Simplified Tension Adjustment
The Blade technology offers 4 tension levels: 08/12/16/20. In less than 30 seconds using a single specialized tool, you can replace the blades to select your ideal tension.
Aerodynamic Design
The new design optimizes the frontal sections and smoothens transition between shoe and pedal to reduce the pedal's aerodynamic drag. The elegant lines of the blade seamlessly harmonize, propelling the Keo Blade to the top of its category in aerodynamics. This fusion of aesthetics and efficiency redefines performance standards for demanding cyclists.

Your most frequently asked questions about pedals and cleats
*Approximate values, provided for guidance and educational purposes only. Actual values
may vary depending on several parameters. Figures calculated for a EU 42–43 shoe size, cleat in
standard position.
Release is performed by rotating the heel laterally outwards. These
equivalents correspond to the force your heel must exert to initiate this movement: at 12 Nm,
unclipping is equivalent to moving roughly 6 kg laterally with your heel.
Two parameters can refine your choice
Shoe size — The larger your shoe size, the greater the leverage between the cleat and
the heel, and the less force required to release at equal tension.
Cleat position — A rearward cleat (mid-foot position) brings the pivot point closer to
the heel and therefore reduces the leverage: releasing requires more effort at equal tension.
If your cleat is in a rearward position, a lower tension may be more suitable.
Universal rule — When in doubt between two tensions, always choose the lower
value. The KEO Blade is interchangeable: you can move up to a higher tension as you progress.
