The Look Keo 2 Max Pedals will give you the confidence you need to go beyond your personal limits. The LOOK design team has completely remodeled the shape of the Keo 2 Max, giving it a new, slimmed-down appearance yet a wider contact surface, increasing its style and efficiency.
OPTIMIZED CONTACT SURFACE
The pedal’s surface area has substantial symbolic importance. It is part of the brand’s identity and acts as an indelible signature on the product.
The contact surface of the KEO 2 MAX preserves the strong lines on which its history was built. Its width has been increased to 60 mm to provide a larger platform and improved foot stability during pedaling. This creates a feeling of unrivaled comfort not found in any other pedal.
LOOK also sought to optimize power transfer with the pedal's 500 mm² of usable surface (+25% increase). The shape of the stainless-steel plate has been revised to match that of the cleat and to keep, regardless of the position of your foot (depending upon the angular float you use), the same amount of contact for consistent performance.
Increasing the pedal’s usable contact surface, without any additional weight gain, improves the Power to Weight ratio, making the pedal even better and allowing you to perform at your best.
IMPROVED SPINDLE PROFILE
The spindle profile of the KEO 2 MAX has also been optimized. The Chromoly Plus steel axle is oversized and surrounded by an inner ball bearing and a needle roller bearing, located under the contact surface, which combined allows the pedal to better handle the load and distribute it optimally.
A new component has been added between these two bearings. A serrated washer, previously used to hold the needle roller bearing in place, has been replaced with a conical spacer. This technical solution reduces friction, increases fluidity, and by consequence, decreases the geometrical tolerances of the pedal body and play.
The sole purpose of the sum of these improvements has been to guarantee you irreproachable reliability.
Note: A pair of grey 4.5° float Keo Cleats are included, cleats with more or less float may be purchased separately.

Look Keo 2 Max Pedals (Black)
For many years I used Look road pedals, the company that invented the clipless pedal. When I bought a new bike, however, I got Shimano road pedals with it. I always felt the Shimano pedal and cleat system, which was a copy of the Look system, was not quite as smooth as Look in terms of clipping in and out, regardless of the tension setting. I decided to go back to Look pedals and the difference for me was noticeable. Clipping out was easier and faster, and I was confident in unclipping from the pedal closer to the point I was stopping. I feel a bit safer using the Looks. I also switched my wife’s clipless pedals from Shimano to Look, and she says her experience is the same; that the Look pedals are easier to clip in and out of. I left the Look pedals on my and wife’s bike with the tension out of the box, which is the loosest. I have never come out of the pedal unexpectedly with the factory setting. As for the riding with the pedals, I notice no difference between Shimano and Look in terms of pedaling efficiency and comfort. The Look pedals come with the gray cleats, which have 4.5-degree float. They work fine for me, though I have also used the red cleats, which have 9-degree float.
