Stages and LOOK Partner to Make Universal Indoor Pedal System

Stages has announced the launch of their new indoor cycling pedal system, developed in collaboration with the folks over at LOOK Cycle, which they claim is the best in its class. The SP4 pedal system boasts compatibility with almost every shoe that is used in gyms or home training. The pedals are even compatible with LOOK delta or SPD cleats, or if you don’t have cleats, you can use any athletic shoe with the Stages Platform Cage. It’s the Swiss army knife of pedal systems.

LOOK has used their extensive knowledge of clipless pedals to design an axle that can apparently exceed previous design limitations and durability. These pedals are Made in France and have been tested to exceed the rigors of gym or home indoor bike use, which is great news for the millions of Redditors who regularly snap pedals mid-workout.

Pat Warner, Stages Cycling’s Senior Vice President of Product Development, has said that they are “very excited” to partner with LOOK Cycle to launch the most durable and adaptive pedal on the market. Of course. Pedal news is always very exciting.

Pierre-Jean Martin, Global Technical Director at LOOK Cycle, has said that they have received requests from riders in the indoor space for years, so it’s great to see them finally come up with a pedal that addresses the unique pedal stresses and performance needs of indoor bikes. They believe that their 30+ years of making pedals translates into a “truly better indoor pedal,” which is good to know.
