Look says its new Keo Vision pedal collection emphasises safety and performance, thanks to integrated lights that will ensure you’re visible from up to 1km away.
The lights integrate into the rear of the road bike pedals and are said to highlight your “biomotion”. In other words, they’ll rise and fall as you pedal, which Look says “increases visibility by 5.5 times” compared to a bike light mounted on your seatpost.
Look adds that the two moving lights help drivers perceive speed and distance more accurately.
“Offering 180° visibility and four versatile light modes—including both continuous and flashing patterns—these lights are engineered to adapt to any riding condition, guaranteeing optimal safety in all environments,” Look says.
Look already offers the Geo City pedals with integrated lights, but these flat pedals are aimed at city riding rather than performance road cycling.
Alexandre Lavaud, head of product at Look, says integrating and “miniaturising” the light technology to fit into a road bike pedal “was a real challenge.” But Lavaud says the result is “not just a pedal; it’s a commitment to a safer, more confident ride for everyone”.
Look’s Keo Vision collection will be available from 1 November and will include two models, the Keo Blade Ceramic Vision and Keo 2 Max Vision.
The Keo Blade Ceramic Vision (€249.90) has a carbon body, ceramic bearings and a 705mm² contact surface for optimal performance.
The Keo 2 Max Vision (€124.90) has a composite body and steel bearing and a slightly smaller contact surface at 500mm².
Both models feature the integrated lights with four modes (day flash, night flash, steady and night steady).
There will also be a Keo Vision kit available. The kit allows owners of the Keo Blade V4 pedals to add lights to their pedals for €60.
The lights themselves are said to only weigh 20g each and have a battery life of 40 hours. They charge in just 2 hours via a USB-C cable.
This isn’t the only change Look has made to its road bike pedal range in recent weeks. Earlier in October, the French company added wider Q-Factor options to its Keo range.
