Anyone have experience with the Look Keo Classic 2 pedals?

I've searched around this section and the road forum but can't find much info. They came out in 2014 yet it's difficult to find any reviews.

Supposedly they're lighter/larger than the standard Classics and have an improved bearing setup.

Look Cycle - Kéo Classic 2 - Pedals - Road




It seems most Classic owners stayed with the Classic or moved onto the Max or Blade.
I've seen a few customer reviews for the 2s on retail sites and they're always 4/5 or 5/5.


I'm interested in the Keo's mainly because they're easy to service and offer higher degrees of float compared to Shimano's.

Anyone with firsthand experience?

This question is probably better in the road forum.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I'll post it in the road forum. Mods can delete this thread.

I own two pair. I have a 2014 and a 2015 set. Although, I don't use them on my fixed/track bike. I use them on my road bike. The 2015 seems lighter.

Cool
How do they clip in/clip out...consistent? Are they weighted well so the nose stays up for easy clip-in? Are you using the gray cleats? Thanks....there is very little info on these.

Have the ones pictured, very consistent clip in/clip out, easy to clip into. Also using the grey cleats. If you get them, also make sure to get the cleat covers for the keo system in case you need to walk, the cleats wear down quicker than a shimano cleat does.

I have these on the Zephyr, they're easy to clip into (they are weighted well, and the nose does point up). They came with the gray cleats. While I haven't put in a ton of miles on them yet, I like them.

I have used both the grey and black cleats. At the moment I am using the grey ones. They clip in and out pretty well. The weight is good, in that the front points up, when not using them. I found them to be sort of a PITA for city riding, with clipping in and out at every stop light (they are, after all, single sided). But for long road rides they are great.
