I'll keep this as short as possible. As the title suggests, we independently tested the Speedplay Zero Aero pedal against a standard Speedplay Zero pedal and did find a repeatable aero advantage. Here's a quick synopsis:
We used two test riders:
Testing one pedal system vs another (i.e. Speedplay vs Look) is a decidedly more difficult task, but could be done in the future. Questions?

We used two test riders:
- Male using Sidi Wire SP Carbon shoes (Speedplay-specific) who completed 3 runs with each pedal system
- CdA w/Zero pedals: .2441, .2437, .2458 - Average CdA = .2445
- CdA w/Zero Aero pedals: .2387, .2381, .2394 - Average = .2387
- Watts Saved = 4.8
- Male using Specialized S-Works 6 shoes who completed 2 runs with each pedal system
- CdA w/Zero pedals: .2389, .2390 - Average = .2389
- CdA w/Zero Aero pedals: .2352, .2359 - Average = .2355
- Watts saved = 2.9
