The improved XPro has an aero underside but how does it ride?

An evolution of Time’s Xpresso pedal, the XPro has a hollow steel axle and slimmer carbon body without the Xpresso’s pointy outer edge.
The carbon blade spring’s release tension is adjusted with a 3-position cam and there’s a hidden axle lubrication port.
Updated cleats are still compatible with Xpresso pedals and vice versa, but their leading edge has doubled in width to 25mm and they’re thicker and a little wider too with larger walking pontoons.
Without significantly more weight at the rear, the XPros don’t always hang tail down, but are still easy to pick up, and the new cleats engage with more certainty.
The huge 725mm/sq pedalling platform with stainless steel protection gives excellent power transfer and their 1.25mm lateral and 5 degrees of angular float feel more constant than the competition without being intrusive.

Robin began road cycling in 1988, and with mountain bikes in their infancy, mixed experimental off-road adventures with club time trials and road races. Cyclocross soon became a winter staple, and has remained his favourite form of competition. Robin has always loved the technical aspect of building and maintaining bikes, and several years working in a good bike shop only amplified that.
