The latest Look news
The Metallurgica Veneta team will be able to count on the best of Look in terms of pedals designed for the off-road world, starting from the brand new X-One-G Ti, presented just a few weeks ago. It represents a real revolution in the sector gravel and was born from the collaboration with the Marathon World Champion, Keegan Swenson, star of gravel and mountain biking. Swenson himself had the opportunity to personally test the new pedal in a race.
The new X-One-G Ti is characterized by its extremely light weight. Only 120 grams per pedal. It features an aerospace-grade titanium axle and a recycled aluminum body machined with micrometric precision. It offers a 650 mm² platform and a width of 67 mm for immediate energy transfer and perfect stability. The single-sided automatic mechanism (SPD compatible) reduces weight and mud accumulation, ensuring precise engagement and release even in the most difficult conditions.
The guys at Metallurgica Veneta will also have the X-Track Race Carbon at their disposal (pictured above). This pedal guarantees impeccable stability , a wide contact surface (515 mm²), and the lightness of the carbon-titanium combination, guaranteeing a perfect balance between power and control on the roughest terrain.

After hearing from Look, through the words of the Marketing Director of the Italian branch, and having presented the pedals in use to the team, we leave the final comment to Martino Tronconi , Team Manager of Metallurgica Veneta.

We are talking about a brand that needs no introduction, synonymous with innovation and performance at the highest levelsWe are thrilled to be able to use their products in both the mountain bike and gravel, certain that they will represent a fundamental technical support in achieving our objectives."
