Time RXS Carbon | $191.65
BikeRadar verdict
"Pro performance & lots of adjustability but titanium version is expensive."
This carbon reinforced composite version of the Time RXS is a lightweight dream for those roadies wanting a quality svelte pedal.
If you fall into the Time camp rather than the Look one, which so often divides roadies who don’t use Shimano, then the difference here is the float and adjustability.
There’s plenty of scope for set-up, with +/- 5 degrees of float, 2.5mm of lateral float and lateral offset adjustment, so you can tailor them for personal choice, making them especially good for anyone with any knee niggles. A plus note on the cleats is that they’re easier to walk in than most.
Power delivery is superb with the low stack height – you feel every ounce of effort that you put in is transferred through the pedals.
The sleek looking carbon composite bodies run on chromoly axles, but an even lighter titanium-spindled version is available too. It’s almost twice the price at £203.49, though.

User review of Time RXS Carbon
I ride these on my single speed bike, and they are fantastic. As Steve R says, the clipping in and out can be hard. I did once about 2 miles of riding before they clipped in. But for that reason these would get deffinatly get a 4 star.

I think they're great pedals. Never had a problem clipping into them, and I've never pulled out my foot out either. They're lightweight, and have good bearings.

Try clipping into them consistently though and you might find their weakness. Not good at T-5s at the start of your seasons TT target.....
All the other virtues as described are indeed spot on, but 3 stars only from me.
