Look KEO 2 Max Carbon Road Bike Pedals with KEO Grip Cleats
Lightweight Carbon Road Pedals for Efficient Power Transfer
The Look KEO 2 Max Carbon pedals combine a lightweight carbon body with a large stainless-steel contact surface to deliver excellent pedaling efficiency, stability, and long-term durability. Designed for road cyclists seeking reliable performance without moving to a carbon-blade retention system, the KEO 2 Max Carbon provides a secure connection between rider and bike for training, racing, and endurance riding.
A wide 500 mm² platform helps distribute pressure evenly across the shoe while maximizing power transfer throughout the pedal stroke. Adjustable spring tension allows riders to customize engagement and release feel to suit their riding style.

Upgrade Guidance
The KEO 2 Max Carbon is an excellent upgrade from entry-level composite road pedals. Riders benefit from a lighter pedal body, a larger contact platform, and improved durability while retaining the simple adjustability of a traditional spring retention system.
If you're considering Shimano 105 or Ultegra-level road pedals, the KEO 2 Max Carbon offers comparable performance with the LOOK KEO cleat system and a highly stable pedaling platform.
