For some companies keeping weight down means a compromise of durability and function. Not for Time. The full-featured composite-bodied ATAC XC 6 weighs a hair over 10 ounces performs like a thoroughbred and takes a beating like bare-fisted pugilist from the ’20s. Time’s ATAC Auto Tension Adjust Concept line of pedals follows the design principles of their road line. Simple design easy engagement plenty of float. Interestingly ATAC beat their road pedals to a lightweight composite-body pedal. The ATAC pedals were always seen as an alternative to Shimano mainly because you didn’t need to fuss with figuring cant on the cleats because the pedals were much harder to jam with mud and because the spring tension never needed to be adjusted. The one adjustment the user can make is whether the release angle is 13 or 17 degrees. And this is done by running the cleats one way or in reverse. While the Time ATAC may look similar to the younger Crank Brother’s pedals the spring design is inherently different offering consistent cleat retention regardless of what happens to the bottom of the pedal. Another advantage over pedals of similar float in the mountain bike world is the tension of the ATAC system: offering a more consistent release and a more stable feeling underfoot. The Time ATAC XC 6 Composite Pedals are compatible with any standard crank system. They come in White.
- ATAC XC pedals feature easy engagement a self-cleaning design and selectable release angle with a XC-style pedal body for low weight.
- Easy step in due to wide-angle cleat design.
- Self-cleaning design that clears the pedal whenever the cleat is engaged.
