“Dr Jeff Broker has done extensive pedalling kinesiology tests on 100 elite and professional cyclists over 10 years and his data shows that not one of them produces a meaningful upstroke. So what hope is there for the rest of us?”
When compared to CLIP, CLIPFBACK resulted in a significant increase in pedalling effectiveness during upstroke
Effects of pedal type and pull-up action during cycling - PubMed (nih.gov)- More efficient power transfer and smoother pedalling technique
- Secure foot placement on the pedal which stops your foot sliding off
- Better for climbing up hills where you can take advantage of an upward pedal stroke
