The XLC Road Pedal PD-R01 is ideal for those who don’t want the hassle of clipless or clip-in road bike pedals but want a more even power transfer than flat pedals can offer. With hooks and straps for the rider to secure themselves with, these pedals provide an optimal connection between rider the bicycle.
