The LOOK X-Track MTB pedals use a composite body with an integrated stainless steel cleat contact plate. The body is constructed from injected composite material that maintains structural requirements while reducing weight. A chromoly axle runs on sealed cartridge bearings that isolate rotation from dirt and water intrusion. The pedal face provides a contact surface for cleat engagement, and the two-sided entry system allows clipping in from either side of the pedal.

These pedals work with LOOK's two-bolt X-Track cleats and are not compatible with Shimano SPD cleats despite the similar mounting pattern on shoes. The cleat interface on these pedals is specific to LOOK's system, so attempting to use SPD cleats will result in poor engagement or no retention at all. The cleat retention mechanism uses adjustable spring tension, accessible through a hex bolt at the rear of each pedal. Tension adjustment allows you to customize how much force is required to clip in and out, which is useful when setting up new pedals or adapting to different riding conditions. The sealed cartridge bearing system extends service intervals compared to loose ball bearing designs. When bearings eventually wear, the cartridge design allows for straightforward replacement without specialized tools.

The X-Track platform is positioned as the entry-level option in LOOK's mountain bike pedal lineup. The composite body sheds mud through its open design, and the stainless steel contact plate provides a defined engagement zone that works when your shoes are covered in dirt. The pedal body sits close to the crank arm, which keeps the Q-factor narrow and maintains a natural pedaling stance. Pedal body height is designed to provide ground clearance when cornering on technical terrain without sacrificing stability during the pedal stroke.
