Innovative Carbon Clipless Road Pedals with MDU Elastomer
Description
Description
The Xpedo Thrust SL pedals incorporate a high-quality carbon body reinforced with an aluminum plate, providing a durable yet lightweight design. This optimal construction offers enhanced strength without adding excess weight, making them suitable for intense road cycling.
Innovative MDU Elastomer Retention: Distinguishing itself from traditional pedals, the Thrust SL features an MDU (Microcellular Ductile Urethane) elastomer retention system instead of the conventional spring mechanism. This setup offers a preset release force, ensuring reliable cleat engagement and smooth disengagement, critical for maintaining performance during vigorous rides.
Smooth Performance and Longevity: Fitted with a cromoly spindle and three cartridge bearings, these pedals deliver smooth operation and are built to last. The careful selection of materials ensures that the pedals maintain their functional integrity over many rides, providing a consistent and enjoyable cycling experience.
Consistent and Secure Engagement: The MDU system not only facilitates easier clipping in and out but also maintains a more consistent resistance between the pedal and cleat. This feature significantly reduces the risk of accidental disengagements, particularly during high-power efforts and sprints, thereby enhancing rider safety and confidence.
Cleat Compatibility and Comfort: The pedals come with Xpedo Thrust 7 cleats, compatible with the three-hole sole standard, and offer an angular float of +/- 6°. This float allows for necessary foot movement, helping to minimize strain on the knees while still securing the foot for effective power transfer.
Ideal for Serious Road Cyclists: The Xpedo Thrust SL Road Pedals are an excellent choice for serious cyclists who prioritize both technological innovation and practical functionality.
Whether training or racing, these pedals provide the support and reliability needed to perform at high levels.
