IMPACT has scored a technological breakthrough by achieving ultra-light weight without reducing the platform surface essential for transmission of pedaling power.
Of all pedals on the market, IMPACT has the best ratio of platform surface to weight: 26 mm2 per gram.
Not another light pedal with no platform!
The ultra-light IMPACT design eliminates all excess mass and is produced
in high-tech materials such as titanium and magnesium for a dramatic weight saving.
Weighing just 240 grams per pair, IMPACT Mag – Ti is one of the lightest pedals on the market. IMPACT pedals have an oversize 312 platform - nearly 15% larger than the
TIME EQUIPE PRO, which already had the largest platform of any road pedal. An oversize platform provides: Lateral support for maximum foot stability and direct transmission of pedaling power Greater distribution of pedaling pressure for extra comfort
The IMPACT oversize platform provides a tremendous feeling of power and stability, with no pressure point or "hot spot" under the foot.

Biomechanical studies reveal that to achieve maximum pedaling efficiency, the ball of the foot must be as close as possible to the pedal axle. With the foot closer to the axle, there is less "rocking torque". Rocking torque reduces pedaling efficiency and power.
IMPACT pedals feature a minimal 7.7 mm distance between the platform and the axle. IMPACT aims your pedaling power directly at the pedal axle.
EFFICIENCY: For the same energy input, IMPACT transmits more power output.

Exclusive technology that allows you to personalize your pedaling sensation or "feel".
S.E.T. allows adjustment of the sensation of float, with more or less resistance within the ±5° of angular float. Angular float ± 5 degrees
Lateral float 2.5 to 5 mm
Only TIME pedals respect natural leg movement by allowing angular and lateral float. By adapting to your unique biomechanics, IMPACT pedals make riding more efficient and comfortable, eliminating unnatural stresses on the knees and minimizing the risk of tendinitis.
TIME IMPACT pedals adapt to the rider and not the rider to the pedals.
IMPACT cleats let you personalize your release with the choice of 2 release angles to the outside:
13° or 17°. This allows for natural variations of foot position as well as different riding styles.
IMPACT is good for the all-out sprinter who throws his bike around as well as for the rider who prefers easier release. IMPACT allows adjustment of lateral foot position. This setting makes it possible to move your foot 2.5 mm closer to the crank.
Depending on the Q-factor setting, lateral float can range from 5.0 to 2.5 mm.

IMPACT cleats fit all shoes, including 3-hole LOOK®-system shoes.
With IMPACT, TIME has done away with the need for adapters when using LOOK®-system shoes.
IMPACT cleats are supplied with attached spacers to conform to the curvature of LOOK®-system soles. The spacers are removed when used with flat TIME soles or TIME-compatible inserts. The IMPACT Café cleat provides traction so you won't wipe out at the espresso shop!
The one-piece Café cleat has three integrated non-slip stabilizers. The widely-placed polyurethane stabilizers grip the ground safely and provide excellent stability.
