If we look at the evolution of road bike pedals over the past 30 years, the launch of the PW8 pedal system by the French manufacturer Ekoï* is certainly a minor revolution. The number ‘8’ in the model name hints at this: the pedal and shoe bring the sole of the foot as close as eight millimetres to the pedal axle. This is an extremely low figure and, from a biomechanical perspective, is considered beneficial for pedalling motion and power transfer. Weighing just 105 grams per pedal, it is also one of the lightest road bike pedals available. The PW8 becomes a truly innovative system when paired with the matching Ekoï cycling shoe. The sole fits snugly against the pedal; the recessed metal cleats, weighing just 15 grams, show virtually no wear and tear and help to ensure that you can walk much more comfortably in these shoes than in most other cycling shoes.
