The LOOK KEO CLASSIC 3 Black/Red pedals represent the third generation of an iconic model from the French brand, combining ease of use and performance. Designed to democratize access to the LOOK automatic system, they embody 35 years of expertise in road pedal development and offer exceptional value for money. Manufactured 100% in France at the Nevers factory in Burgundy, these pedals are suitable for both beginner cyclists discovering clipless pedals and experienced riders looking for a reliable model for training.
Technical highlights
- Oversize Chromoly steel axle: With an oversized diameter, the 53 mm axle guarantees uncompromising durability. It incorporates a miniature ball bearing (12 mm inner x 18 mm outer) and a needle bearing, ensuring optimal resistance to effort and smooth rotation. A spacer maintains the bearing to limit friction.
- Generous 400 mm² contact surface: The wide bi-injected composite platform offers excellent stability during pedaling and ensures optimal power transfer, even during sustained efforts.
- Adjustable engagement/release tension (8 to 12): Progressive adjustment via screw allows easy adaptation of engagement and disengagement difficulty according to experience level and individual preferences. Ideal for starting gently and then increasing tension.
- 100% French manufacturing: Developed, designed and assembled in Nevers, these pedals benefit from LOOK expertise and premium materials sourced in France. The axles are only validated after extreme rotation tests (2 million cycles at 100 rpm with 90 kg load).
KEO cleat system and universal compatibility
The pedals are supplied with a pair of KEO Grip Gray cleats offering an angular freedom of 4.5°, ideal for protecting joints while maintaining good retention. The KEO system is compatible with all road shoes on the market. Three types of cleats are available separately to customize the degree of freedom:
- Black cleats (0°): Rigid fixation without angular freedom, for riders seeking maximum power transfer.
- Gray cleats (4.5°): Ideal compromise between retention and joint comfort (supplied as standard).
- Red cleats (9°): Maximum angular freedom to relieve knees and ankles.
Weight and geometry
With only 140 g per pedal (348 g per pair including cleats and screws), the KEO CLASSIC 3 display a controlled weight for an entry-level model. The total pedal + cleat height is 17.8 mm (11.5 mm for the pedal + 6.3 mm for the cleat), guaranteeing a reduced stack for optimal ergonomics. The 53 mm Q-factor ensures a natural foot position.
