XL Catalyst Pedal

I ride a recumbent trike. It's somewhat of a learning curve when you have your pedals out in front of you and you're not clipped in. I've learned to adjust using the Catalyst pedals and how much more comfortable they are to use, plus you can put more power down because you're using your whole foot and not just the metatarsals of your feet.

I didn’t know what to expect with this pedal. I liked my Wahoo pedals but after recent knee surgery I felt a little insecure unclipping in traffic and had gone back to a flat pedal. Then I saw the you had a larger pedal for larger shoe sizes and I was intrigued. I wear a 15. My first impression with your pedals is they they are heavy. I was concerned as I ride a front-wheel drive recumbent and that shift in weight distribution might be problematic. All concerns were assuaged seconds into my first ride with them. Instantly I felt connected to the pedals but now with the assurance that I could get out of them at will. They did not alter the balance or steering and the weight increase became negligible. By using my whole foot rather than just the ball of my foot I felt that I could relax more and/or use muscles not utilized before. It’s hard to describe. Most important was the feeling of being attached to them. I am very happy with these new pedals. It is just what I needed.

Have struggled for years finding a pedal that would feel comfortable for my sz14's.The xl's feel great and make me feel more connected with my bike.
