Ok so I took a quick spin tonight and as I expected I would slate these between the Alium and the XS lines. They are easier to clip into than the Alium but not as easy as the XS. They do have adjustable spring tension which is nice. I have been riding ATAC since they first came out when Johnny Tomac was ruling the XC sceen in the 90s and I agree that they are the best MTB pedal out there.
