Shimano XT Vs Look X-Track Pedals

Subject says it all really, I’m in the market for new XC pedals and comparing XT to X-Track.

XT = $20 more and 20 grams less. Grams matter people. Grams matter!
X-Track = Look cool.

That’s about all I have right now, but if you have used both please let me know your preference

Cheers.

I’m a big fan of Look road pedals, they are bombproof. Don’t know about xtracks, but hope their the same. Having said that, I have XT M8000’s on both my XC mtb and Cyclocross bike, and I don’t think I would ever change - they are just reliable and take a beating. Plus there easy to service.

Just picked up some X-Track Race Carbon Ti and will report back. Coming from XTR 980 pedals that lasted 6 yrs. They’re finally getting past their service life and getting crunchy

Reviving an old thread to see if anyone has any input on Look X-Track pedals. I have run XTR spd pedals forever but I am setting up some new shoes and was thinking of giving them a try. The X-Track Carbon Ti’s seem to be slightly lighter, larger contact area for better power transfer, slightly more float and now Keegan is running them who typically runs road pedals for gravel/mtb. If anyone can chime in that use them would be greatly appreciated…both good and bad.

I have no experience with Shimano XT. I’m sure they’re fine. But the day I bought my first pair of Look X-Track changed everything. In a blink of an eye I couldn’t stand any other pedal anymore (especially eggbeaters, haha). I now own 3 pairs, and I use them on a SS HT, full squish, and gravel bikes.
