Time releases XPRO aero and Speciale enduro pedals

ATAC and iClic engagement systems at heart of pedals

Time Xpro pedals

Two new pedals have joined the Time line-up in time for Christmas, the XPRO aero-road pedal and the enduro-focused Speciale. Both pedals utilize Time’s well-known engagement systems, iClic and ATAC respectively.

The XPRO comes in three models, the top-end 15 in white and black, the 12 in red and black and the 10 in black and grey. The flagship 15 (US$600) is 88g per pedal, with a hollow titanium spindle and CeramicSpeed bearings. The 12 (US$400) uses a titanium spindle for 94g per pedal, while the 10 (US$250) has a hollow stainless-steel spindle for a 113g pedal.

Time’s ATAC system has been a much-lauded engagement for decades. The US$350 Speciale is built for long days on the mountain bike, with an ATAC base and a long, thin profile platform. The thin platform reduces weight (202g per pedal) and minimizes rock and root strikes. There’s only one model–the 12–right now, but it comes in three anodized colours.
