Float

Pedal float refers to the amount of mobility your foot has when it’s clicked into the pedal of your bike.

There are a few reasons why you should choose your cleats carefully, the most important of which is its impact on the muscles and joints of your body, particularly the knees. When we talk about pedal float, we’re talking about the degree of rotation the foot has in swiveling from left to right while clicked into the pedal. In other words, the foot shouldn’t be able to float up and down — that would cause the rider to lose thrust during pedaling. With the foot firmly attached to the pedal, the rider is able to maintain force on the upward as well as downward portion of the revolution. This significantly increases riding performance.

Enquire in-store if you have any questions about your bike-fit or which pedals/ cleats are right for you.
