In my eight plus years of using them on a number of road, 'cross, and mountain bikes, I'd recommend them as an excellent road pedal, pretty good 'cross pedal, and OK mtb pedal (The float can be an issue if you're not limber). But I have riding buddies who would, alternately, rate them as excellent in the three categories and others who would say poor in some applications. The point is give them a good try yourself.
