Crank Bros have produced a number of popular road racing pedals and the Quattro SL has become a hit with a big section of the cycling market.
The ability to clip into the pedals from two angles should not be overlooked, as it provides great flexibility and ease of use.
Some find the entry points a little bit stiff but these soften over time and are the main reason for the strength of fit with the pedals.
You won’t have to worry about cornering clearance with the Quattro SL pedals either, because they sit neatly and tightly against the cranks.
If there is a drawback to the Quattro SL it is the metal coverings on the pedals, which appear to be cheap and can sometimes slip off too easily.
On the whole these are good pedals that will remain sturdy over time and are practical for long distance riding.
