With a durable and low maintenance design, these pedals provide increased stability, ease of use, and improved power transfer. The wide, lightweight resin body offers a large shoe contact area to maximize support while reducing weight. Featuring a durable stainless steel body plate that reduces flex and pedal body wear.

Nicely made, but cheap and gooey bearings
I bought these pedals to use on my road bike for club rides. When they arrived, the pedals would not spin, because they were stuck in gooey thick grease. You need a special tool to take out the bearings, which I bought. The pedals use cheap sleave bearings, which evidently are bathed in thick grease to keep them functioning. Since I like the pedals to right themselves so they are easy to get into, I thinned and removed most of the grease with WD-40. The pedals still have grease and are well-lubricated, but now at lease they can spin and right themselves.
There is a reason these pedals are so much cheaper than the 105. They are marginally better than the off-brand copycat pedals. They are still a reasonable choice if you get them cheap.
