Miguel MARTINEZ won the 2000 World Championship in Spain's Sierra Nevada, as well as the World Cup and the Olympic gold medal on TIME ATAC Carbon pedals.
With patented A.T.A.C. (Auto Tension Adjustment Concept) off-road pedals, foot retention is independent from spring tension. The wide release angle of 13 or 17 degrees prevents accidental release from the pedal as well as allowing the low spring tension of the ATAC design.
No Tension Adjustment is Necessary. The low spring tension of the ATAC design causes less friction in muddy or extreme conditions than with other pedals--minimal effort provides consistent entry and release from the ATAC pedals. With the narrow release angle of other off-road pedal designs, accidental release is prevented by high spring tension. This high spring tension, combined with dirt or mud, creates excessive friction.
Self-cleaning! Mud and dirt cannot stick to the simple "open arch" engagement mechanism, which is wiped clean by the cleat as you step into the ATAC pedal. For fast engagement, ATAC pedals have a double-sided mechanism and a body profile designed to facilitate entry from every position. The cleat engagement window on the ATAC mechanism is 35% wider than on an SPD© pedal. This larger target allows you to concentrate on riding, with no need to focus on aligning your foot with the pedal.
You can step into a TIME ATAC pedal faster than into any other. With TIME, the pedals adapt to the rider and not the rider to the pedals. TIME pedals respect natural leg movements by allowing angular and lateral float. By adapting to the biomechanics of the rider, TIME pedals minimize the risk of tendinitis. TIME Bioperformance also makes riding more efficient and comfortable by eliminating unnatural stresses on the knees.

A lot of people I ride with have these pedals and love them. Personally I don’t care for them much. They do have a solid platform, and the bail system works well in diverse conditions, thus they deser... [click for full review] |
