Keo vs Delta Look pedals

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Keo vs Delta Look pedals

With the platform about the same size, what advantage does the Keo cleat have over the delta? Any word on Look phasing out Deltas?

voltman's answer +

lighter weight

More cornering clearance (fairly positive on this one)

Better Cornering Clearance and lighter weight are the two variables that I noticed by comparison!

I just bought a new set of Keo Sprint pedals, and looked at the 'regular' ones as well. The guy at my LBS said that Look, as far as he knew, wouldn't phase out the deltas because so many people still ride older models. The old pedals are good, reliable and last a while. I just retired a 20 year old set of Mavics (rebadged Looks) that weighed roughly 62 pounds each .

I think, based on that, the deltas will be around for a bit.

Yeah, I keep thinking about some new Keo pedals, but my old cheapie Deltas are still working just fine after 12k miles -- and they have never been serviced. (Hope I didn't just jinx myself.)
