I don't see why anyone would want this over any normal spd pedal.

 

Weight weenies perhaps...?

Because its LOOK!!!!!!! and its just better. I have carbon blades(version 1 and 2) on my road bikes and I honestly don't think I can ride anything else again. I don't ride enough proper MTB though to justify decent pedals on those bikes. But if I did, these babies would be in my cart.

Look is just pure CLASS.

 

In the past 15 years I have not spent one cent on Shimano.  And will continue to do so.

looks a lot like shi(t)mano

I'll stick with my S-track with the uncomplicated retention mech

Look: Check out these new pedals, they’re called x-track!
Me: So these are Track Pedals?
Look: No they’re Mountain Bike Pedals.
Me: Weird. They look like Shimano’s XT SPD pedal
Look: Well they’re not.
Me: Weird. What kind of cleat do they use.
Look: Shimano SPD
Me: Weird. How much?
Look: $249.00
Me: So like, 4 pairs of SPD XT’s then?
Look: I guess so.
Me: Weird.

And Sauser surprisingly says it’s the “best pedal he’s ever ridden”. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a pro say that.

In all seriousness, what makes them better than Shimano's version?

Much bigger contact area...even bigger than the STrack. Also better mud clearance due to more space around axle. Read the independent reviews....

 

Used by most Pro's in SA.
