Got these to replace my old Look Deltas which needed occasional silicone spraying to keep them quiet (the famous Look squeak). They are much lighter and so far after 1000km or so there has been no squeaking or creaking. Hopefully that holds up.
Fairly easy to get in and out of if you are used to the Look method. Great pedals, and a great value when they go on sale.

I'm no racer,I ride for fun... and these pedals are great. the wider platform has a rock solid feel and i haven't had a problem with hot spots or foot numbing. It's been a while since I've used LOOK pedals, my last pedals were Speedplays and I liked them a lot but was ready for a change and at the BTD DAILY SPECIAL PRICE the decision was easy. delivery was right on... BTD ROCKS and ROLLS!

I used the Crank Bros. eggbeater I & II's for a long time and it was hard to get used to slipping into these pedals but I do like them. The eggbeater's hard to beat. Cheap and light but they're better off-road than for long distance. These don't leave my foot with a hot spot after 30-40 miles. About 450 miles on them. Usual runs are quick commute to office up to 40 miles. My only complaint is I got spoiled by the Crank cost vs. weight but that doesn't detract from this pedal's performance.

I bought these pedals while they were on a daily special.
After having tried Shimano SPD-SL pedals last season, over the winter I switched back to Look Keos. Shimano SPD-SL system unfortunately does not have enough float for my knees and it really does not have free float at all. After going back to my trusty Keos, I missed the wider platform of the SPD-SL. Look Keo 2 Max gives me the wide platform and the stability, while preserving the float my knees need.
Excellent pedal overall. I am going to pick up another black pair when they go on sale again.

Have these on all my road bikes. Adjustable, easy in and out. Love them.

So far so good. These pedals are ski bindings for your bike. I'm use to multi sided MTB pedals and was a bit concerned with one sided road pedals, but no problem they click right in. I haven't had to adjust them yet either (2 months use) and I click in, click out. A little expensive, but I have no complaints.

I like the locked-in feel of the pedal and cleat and these pedals deliver that. Much better than the old Keo design and, hopefully, they dont wear down like the non-reinforced ones.
Unfortunately, I can no longer tolerate the old Keo's on my other bike even though they are nearly new,

Pretty in White. A great deal. Keo's are like Timex's keep on ticking.

I've recently switched from Shimano road pedals to these Look pedals, and I really like them. Entry is pretty easy for a road pedal, exiting is super simple, and they have just enough float for me using the supplied gray cleats.
Only one downside, and this is common to most road pedals. The cleats wear out if you walk very much on them. These seem to be holding up better than the Shimano cleats, so hopefully I can get a season (4000 miles) of riding before buying new cleats.
Review by DaveL
I was fortunate to catch a sale on this pedal and wanted to get a second pair of Looks so I could put my old road bike with my old pedals on a training stand. What a surprise. These pedals feel better than the basic Keo Classic. I believe the that is because platform is a tad wider. They seem to be a little easier to get oriented so I can clip in quickly too. This pedal is more comfortable than the classic and it is worth the extra bucks to opt for them especially if you are planning to log a lot of miles. Time it right so you get a good sale price from BTD and you are way ahead!
Review by Lunarbumwad
I bought these pedals to replace my old Keo Sprint pedals. There really wasn't anything wrong with the old pedals, but I had about 25,000 miles on them and I simply wanted new pedals.
The Keo 2 Max pedals are noticeably lighter than the Keo Sprints. They are easy to click in and even easier to click out than the Sprints were. At the same time, I never feel like I'm going to accidentally pull my foot out of the pedal. I've already put about 1000 miles on these pedals and they are absolutely quiet even though I'm using cleats that have about 5000 miles on them. (It used to drive me crazy how my earlier (pre-Keo) Look pedals would start to squeak when the cleats started to wear.) The contact area on the Keo 2 Max is a little larger than on the Sprints, but I don't really notice the difference.
For [$] these are a great value. The real weight weenies might want to splurg and go for the carbon version of these pedals. I can only imagine what the Blade Carbon Ti pedals would be like, but I'm more than happy with these pedals.

I haven't used a wide variety of road pedals because I switched from SPDs to Keos and I like them very much so I stick with them. I'd like to try Speedplays but I don't like the idea that the mechanical side of the cleat in attached to my shoe so whenever I walk I'm getting dirt and grit into the moving side. The Keos give me a great distribution of force over a large portion of my forefoot and I have the option for several different float options. I prefer the reds on my road bike and greys on my TT bike.
Review by OnYourLeft
These pedals are simply fantastic from a power transfer standpoint. The very large footprint makes it feel like your feet are part of the crank and distributes pressure across the ball of your foot very well.
About the only complaint I have is that they can be difficult to snap in. Though the pedal is weighted in such a way that it naturally wants to line up in an easy position for entry, anything but a perfectly smooth push off means the pedal will rotate and you may have to fiddle a bit to reliably lock in.
If you do go with these pedals (which I recommend), purchase a pair of Look Cleo Cleat Covers. Throw them in your jersey pocket and put them on if you hit any place where you'll be walking around. Your cleats will last twice as long.

I've been using these pedals for over 5 years and have never been disappointed. They are sturdy, lightweight and provide the flexibility of tightening or loosening the tension as needed.

These are very nice pedals. They are very compact, but offer good support. Very smooth and excellent cornering angle. Only slightly harder to get into than the old-school Look pedals, but you get used to them quickly.
Review by ckang
Have had these for a while and by far some of the easiest pedals to use.
Very solid, no noises at all.
Even at the lowest setting haven't had any issues unclipping. And that's from spinning 110 cadence to hardergrinding lower cadences.
If they don't always sit vertical (1-2pm), give them a few rides, this was the case with mine.
Cleat wear is okay. Commuting doesn't help with the stop and go.
Review by Bulldog Cyclist
I've ridden many miles with the other brand of pedals, but the Look KEO pedals are the best. They spin easier than other brands so smooth right out of the box. The cleats with the teflon piece in back really make getting out when you want to a sure thing. I've gone down more than once because the other pedals hung up and could not get out. These KEO cleats are securely held in when I'm riding hard and can still get out when I want or need to. These KEO 2 MAX pedals have a larger spindle to hold up to my size and 200mm cranks on my new bike!!
Review by BUTCH
Nice addition to my bike they look great and are very smooth! I put these on my aluminum fender'd up commuter bike! Made the ride more comfortable.

Wore out a set of Keo classics so I decided to get these. After a few rides, I really like them. They are slightly wider than the Classic, which I thought would be bulky. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
