The Time Xen S pedal is constructed out of a durable
composite body and cromoly axle with time’s 2 bearing system.
The Time Xen system provides riders with the ultimate in
adjustability. In the sea of ultra-light pedals, only Time is offering
Q-factor, lateral float, angular float and ‘Sensor Elasticity Tuner’ throughout
the RXS line.
The Q-factor allows you to set the distance from the crank,
2.5mm closer in one position over the other. With lateral float adjustment of
5mm and angular float of 5 degrees. The ‘Sensor Elasticity Tuner’ allows you to
adjust the feel of the cleats float, from that of a free floating system,
similar to Speedplay, or to one more like Look or Shimano’s resistance systems.
As with previous Time pedals, their platform is wide to eliminate potential
hotspots.
Of course this all comes with Time’s legendary ‘pivot
from the center’ cleat design. The cleats can easily be walked on and do not
require cleat covers.
RXS line and Xen line appear to offer the same features
but at different price points. If you thought this you’d be dead on. Time is
leveraging its ability to construct a superior pedal for less while offering
all the same characteristics of the RXS line.
For example, the RXS counterpart in the Time pedal lineup
is the Time RXS Carbon, one underneath the Ulteam. Each pedal is 118 grams, or
38 grams lighter then the Time Xen S pedal. The additional cost of the RXS line
comes from the materials and technology required to shave the additional grams.
