Strengths:    easy in and out
look good


Weaknesses:    not durable at all
too easy in and out


Bottom Line:   
I loved these pedals at first but after about three months the left wore down. I fell completely due to the pedal. I jumped a rock, cleat slipped out, and I rolled down the trail.
If you want to spend around $60 go get shimano slx.

Strengths:    eassy to clip in and out, light

Weaknesses:    wear fast

Bottom Line:   
These pedals are amazing. I was using wellgo SPDs and going to this is just WOW. These are super easy to clip in and out of.
The only problems I can find are after a while they wear on the pedal you clip out on most and after you put in the gaurd they're kind of sketchy to pull up on.
These would be best fora person that rides maybe once a weekend. I think mine wore down so fast because I ride ALOT

Strengths:    Light (lighter than XTRs')
Work so much better than SPDs


Weaknesses:    Needle "bearing", injected plastic gets "scratched" and used quickly.

Bottom Line:   
Bought as emergency replacement when my previous SPDs failed and I felt as trying something new.

Surprise...Wow, they work so much better than the SPDs!!!

I liked them so much that now they are my permanent pedals until total destruction, when I will get a pair of the Candy III

Cannot give more chills because they remain expensive (60 Eur) when compared to alternatives.

Strengths:    Ease of clip in/out

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
This is my first pair of clipless, and I have only ridden on them 3 times for 3-4 hour trips. I was recommended egg's by a fellow rider but thought I would try the "platform" design instead.
I love them, definitely worth the 50 dollars, I am much more efficient than I was with platforms. I hear a lot of bad reviews from CB but I have no complaints. I will likely try some Time's sense those are what people like, and I am unsure as to what this "float" is, but if it offers more play in the pedal I think I will like it.
I am very impressed in how easy it is to clip in and out of these. That was my biggest fear. If that holds anyone back from going clipless, don't let it.

Submitted by John a Cross Country Rider from Bristol, CT

Date Reviewed: June 1, 2011

Strengths:    Riding smooth trails, OK, easy to get in and out (too easy to get out of - see below)

Weaknesses:    Awful early release on techinical terrain. Changing cleat position has no effect. Still too easy to release.

Bottom Line:   
Even at the highest release angle 20 degrees, these pedals have the perfectly annoying feature of completely releasing tension if you have a bottom pedal strike. The lightest tap release your foot. Because the torsion beams cross, it means that they will release the cleat when hit in front from the bottom.

In technical terrain I am so used to moving my body and foot because of the loads of float in TIME ATAC pedals that these Candy pedals were very aggravating.

I have taken them off the bike, they don't work for technical terrain at all like the TIME's do.
