Mavic EZ-Ride Evolve
BikeRadar verdict
"As a shoe and pedal combo for commuting these are very good"
Sticking magnets into the pedals and the sole of the shoes might sound like a bonkers idea, but then again this is Mavic, a company who are not afraid to take a different approach to cycling products.
That’s a good thing though, because the EZ-Ride Evolve pedals are fantastic if you consider what they’re designed to do.
The idea is that the pedal locates into a recessed section in the sole of a dedicated shoe, and gets a little extra ‘grip’ thanks to the inclusion of magnets between shoe and pedal. This prevents accidental slipping – especially in the rain and it works brilliantly.
The pedals are well made, with super-smooth bearings and good sealing, and even without the EZ-Ride specific shoes they still work well as flat pedals. Well done Mavic.

User review of Mavic EZ-Ride Evolve
Had a play with them in the shop and the magnet is not strong enough for any kind of up stroke/circular motion. Might as well have a good set of flats and some change left over. £40 plus the cost of the shoes that will only work with this pedal, I'll stick to normal spd and a wider choice of footwear.
