The list of top professional riders who have championed Time pedals reads like a who’s who in modern cycling: Pedro Delgado, Greg LeMond, Miguel Indurain and Tom Boonen have all at one time or another raced and won using Time pedals.
The stripped away design of Time pedals may not appeal to everyone but there’s no denying their heritage and popularity with racers and entry-level riders alike.
Just like the other major players on the pedaling field, Time keep the same theme throughout the look of their range. Only the construction materials define each pedal within its performance and weight limits.
Coming in at the entry-level end of the market, Time’s Xpresso 2 pedals provide plenty of built-in float alongside a firm but friendly entry and exit action – the pedals are very easy, and perhaps the easiest single-sided system on the market, to clip in and out of thanks to the use of a flexion blade, rather than a spring, which stays partially open between cleat exit and re-entry.
The high degree of float (10°) associated with Time pedals should make them serious contenders for any rider who suffers from any niggling knee issues. Price and ride quality wise, Time Xpresso 2 pedals are a bargain no matter where you shop.
At the top of the Time clipless tree sit the Xpresso 12 Titan Carbon pedals – the French firm’s latest race-ready pedals with only 154g of weight to placate the most pedantic of weight watchers.
