Strengths:
Light for an all mountain pedal at 320grams / pair, Easy to get it and out. Compatible with Shimano/Exustar cleats, Nice bearing feel (so far), Looks good on my bike
Weaknesses:
Feels loose free play side to side a bit large, Plastic pedals gets scratches after 1 ride.
Similar Products Used:
Shimano deore, Exustar
Bike Setup:
Haro SonixLT, Epicon 130mm fork, mc3.3 rear shocks, xt/slx group set
Bottom Line:
At first glance I wanted the Syncros pedals right away. It really looks good and plus I have Syncros components installed all over my bike.
The specs are good making it 5 grams lighter than the shimano XTR pedals. A plus in my book. It also makes pedaling easy using ordinary shoes to go around the block.
So far I like the feel and even if there is a large side to side play I don't feel it when riding - plus because of this play it is easier to get out of the pedals. A few more months of riding should tell if the pedals will stand up to my abuse test.
