TIME ATAC XC 10 Carbon MTB & Gravel Pedals

TIME ATAC XC 10 Carbon MTB & Gravel Pedals

The TIME ATAC XC 10 Carbon MTB & Gravel Pedals is a definitive favourite among competitive racers and high-mileage riders who refuse to compromise on weight, ergonomics, or foul-weather reliability. Meticulously engineered for the specific rigors of Cross-Country (XC), Gravel, and Cyclocross (CX), this pedal strikes an elite balance by pairing a featherlight carbon-filled body with the rugged durability of a hollow steel axle.

Built around TIME's legendary ATAC (Auto Tension Adjustment Concept) system, the dual-spring engagement mechanism acts as a self-cleaning purge system. Every time your shoe steps into the pedal, the bars instantly clear away thick mud, sand, and trail debris, ensuring consistent, positive engagement in the worst imaginable track conditions. To protect your body over demanding endurance events, the XC 10 provides built-in biomechanical freedom with both angular and lateral float. This specialised movement allows your feet to find their natural alignment, significantly reducing joint fatigue and knee strain while maintaining razor-sharp power transfer.
