Product Information
Full details
The Time ATAC XC 10 pedals are engineered for competitive mountain bikers, gravel enthusiasts, and cyclocross racers who prioritize weight savings and mechanical efficiency. By utilizing a carbon-filled body and a hollow steel axle, these pedals offer a high strength-to-weight ratio that enhances power transfer without adding unnecessary bulk. While the ergonomic design excels at reducing muscle fatigue during long rides, users should note that the specialized ATAC cleat system requires dedicated compatibility with the included cleats rather than universal mountain bike pedal standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Time ATAC XC 10 pedals requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. Always apply a thin layer of bicycle grease to the pedal threads before installing them onto your crank arms to prevent seizing. Ensure that the included ATAC cleats are installed correctly on your cycling shoes; adjustment of the lateral position may be necessary to find your optimal ergonomic fit. Maintenance is minimal due to the open-design architecture. To care for your pedals, occasionally wipe them down with a damp cloth after particularly muddy rides and inspect the spring mechanism for any large debris. Do not use high-pressure water sprayers directly into the bearings, as this can force dirt into the seals.
