246g per pair including cleats pretty crazy huh?

Quartz Carbon Ti (246g per pair including cleats and hardware); the Quartz Carbon 278g per pair including cleats and hardware); and the Quartz (298g per pair including cleats and hardware)

from Interbike.....
http://reviews.mtbr.com/interbike/lo...586-road-bike/
"Three models are offered: Quartz - 230 grams a pair at $99.
Quartz Carbon - 230 grams a pair
Quartz Carbon Ti - 198 grams a pair at $399
The specs seem to be the same on all the pedals so it’s really a gram shaving game when going from the $99 Quartz to the Quartz Carbon Ti."






maaaaaaybe the Quartz for $99, I can't fathom spending that much for the others

Those LOOK cool. But, is there a crack in that one?

The engagement isn't much different from Time is it?

Looks to be injection molded and not very well at that. I'll wait till they've been out a while.
Interesting though...

not sure if it's a crack but a gouge in the composite.

Look is expensive and the price is for the pair.

They do look like the TIME atacs

Are they priced better than the time atacs? i have been using atacs for years and like them but was looking to change. I have Ti atacs on my cross bike and Mag atacs I put on my single speed if I ride it to work and Regular atacs on my fixed gear commuter. they are a great padel but you could get lighter. I havent seen the Looks, thaks for posting the pic.
