I rode all kinds of pedals at all price points. I used to run bear traps on BMX. FF a couple decades I decided to install new traps on my MTB. I have not tried a more confident feeling pedal. No matter where I place my feet it feels sure footed ready to tork on the crank without re-placing my foot in a moment when time is of the essence. I wear skate style shoes for biking and that has a little to do with it. The strong soles do help. But again I have rode all sorts of premium forged aluminum platform with carbide studded pedals and none felt as grippy and safe as the bear traps. I'm trying not to think of a moment one catches one of my badly scarred up shins from a hard back spin. They will draw blood I promise. Good thing that never enters my mind while I'm riding =). The first thing I did was remove the reflectors lol. Funny how such small things can reflect so big on the entire bike with dork factor.
Awesome. I have the same bike coming in the mail. I was looking at these pedals and this video popped up first when doing a search. Think I’ve made my choice to buy them.
I use nothing but rat trap pedals on all my bikes. Roadie, Touring , MTB, and Hybrid. My foot has never slipped off the pedal, wet or dry, I can wear any shoe I want and I have NO problem with speed.
The SE pedals are actually marked. Those odd stripes in the wrench faces are the marks indicating left. Your Azur has that band groove on the left pedal on the axle where the wrench goes. Kinda nerdy info, saw on another ytube vid recently. 40+ years wrenching on bikes and I never knew the grooves were there. Happy Fathers Day!

Thank you for your clarification. That is the best advice I have seen about these pedals.
Cool, I have the same pedals and bike. Different color scheme
I have mates with pedals from $150 AU. To $450 AU. It's such a ' Thing '. $45 for Alloy SE's and I'm stoked!
