EDIT: I originally thought LOOK was going to introduce new power meter pedals. After the official unveiling, it turned out to be just a new generation of LOOK KEO Blade. So, I edited this article accordingly and apologize for the mystification. LOOK introduced the pedal power meters a few weeks later.
The new LOOK KEO Blade has a larger contact area and improved aerodynamics and durability. The larger contact area is likely to be the main added value for potential customers as it reduces the potential for hotspots on long rides.
The pedals have a new spindle design and ceramic bearings, which should reduce friction by 18% and 4-6 times increase the lifespan. In the video, they claim a 2% reduction in drag, but it’s not clear compared to what the baseline was.
The pedals weigh 190g/pair without cleats and 260g with cleats. They offer 4 tension levels.
The entry-level LOOK KEO Blade costs $174. The highest-end version (KEO Blade Ceramic TI) costs $389.
