Standard SPD cleats only release when the rider twists her foot outwards, but multi-release cleats come out if you pull up hard too. That’s a far more natural action for a clipless beginner, who’s probably used to flat pedals that you just lift your foot off.
Disagree with the Speedplay comments above. I moved to them this year and yes IÂ hated them for a few weeks and was considering eBaying them.
It’s not often I get a product that’s so laissez-faire in its ways that I struggle to find a specific purpose for it. And this isn’t a bad thing — the XC5 proved to be a reliable (and comfortable) choice for just about any bike-related adventure.
When it comes to clipless pedals, Look is undoubtedly the most iconic. Inspired by the clip-in ski bindings they were already famous for, Look turned to cycling in 1984 and were the first to introduce a truly revolutionary pedal system that was the first to move away from the traditional toe clip/strap system. A lot has changed since those early days, and the 235-gram Keo Blade Carbon is the entry-level carbon offering in Look’s three-model family of Blade pedals that comprises their Race category. The pedal body is carbon and houses either a chromoly steel or titanium axle. There is a larger axle and spindle design that has been updated for 2018. This means a larger roller bearing and 25 percent more space between it and the needle bearing that is directly under the pedal platform.
Not that I’m in the market for light pedals myself, as I’m quite happy with my SPD’s for commute/CX duties and my Shimano 105 SPD-SL pedals on the road bike. Hard to beat when it comes to performace/durability/cost considerations.

But the pedals aren’t entirely different from other road options. Unclipping was the same as any other system I’ve used: A quick flick of the heel released my foot.
Afton Keegan “Mono-directional interior shank supports your foot on the pedal during impacts, assists in energy transfer when pedaling, and reduces vibration yet flexes to allow normal walking.” $99 USD.
You might get a little bit of occasional chain rub on the chain set because the chain won’t sit quite straight on the chainwheel sometimes, and…
There isn’t a triple option for EPS. In fact I don’t think there’s a triple option for any e-shifting system.
There are four grub-screw-style traction pins per side, which sit around 4mm off the platform. Once clipped in, I found that the height of the mechanism made the front pins somewhat redundant.
Tubeless provides perhaps the best of all choices in every regard. They have lower rolling resistance than even great clinchers (thanks to the lack of hysteresis between the tube and tyre found in clinchers). With sealant inside, they can repair small- to medium-sized punctures as you ride (sometimes you won’t even know you got a puncture).
