Mountain bike pedals that work equally well on gravel bikes present a specific challenge—you need the mud-shedding capability and walkability of an off-road system, but the platform stability and engagement feel that road-influenced gravel riding demands. The LOOK X-Track Gravel Edition addresses this by building on their proven X-Track mountain bike platform while refining the contact surface and retention characteristics for the mixed-terrain reality of gravel riding. The bronze colorway positions these as a finishing kit component rather than purely functional hardware.

The X-Track system uses a dual-sided SPD-compatible cleat interface, so you can clip in from either side without hunting for pedal orientation. LOOK's Easy Cleat engagement system reduces the entry force required to clip in, which matters when you're clipping back in after a hike-a-bike section or dismounting for a gate. The tension is adjustable to match your preference, whether you favor secure retention for aggressive descents or easier release for frequent stops.
