"With the Shimano SPD cleat patent expiring, more brands are tapping into the clipless pedal market with this tried-and-tested design, and Renthal's new Revo-TRC and Revo-DHC are the latest to employ it, but they've taken their own approach with a widely adjustable binding, easily servicable internals, and the iconic AluGold finish. The Renthal Revo-DHC uses what looks to be an offset binding, but the extra-large platform is playing tricks on your eyes."
"This platform mimics the feel of a flat-pedal, sharing the same profile as the Revo Flat Pedal and features adjustable pins for added foot retention. On the other hand, the Revo-TRC takes a lightweight approach with no pins and a more traditional profile."
"Both the Revo-DHC and TRC use Renthal's own binding system, designed to work with SPD-style cleats. The binding features a hinged rear mechanism - much like other SPD pedals on the market - and has chamfered edges to allow for easy entry to the binding. All the Revo pedals share the same internals, with a large Igus bushing and three outboard bearings. This makes them super easy to service and overhaul without proprietary tools."
Shimano's SPD cleat patent expiration opens the SPD-style clipless pedal design to additional manufacturers. Renthal introduced two models: the Revo-DHC and the lighter Revo-TRC. Revo-DHC pairs an offset binding with an extra-large platform that mimics a flat-pedal profile and includes adjustable pins for increased retention. Revo-TRC prioritizes light weight with a traditional pinless profile. Both models use a hinged rear binding with chamfered entry, share internals including a large Igus bushing and three outboard bearings, and allow straightforward servicing without proprietary tools. Full-contact spindle and endcap seals protect internals. Both come in anodized black and AluGold with respective price points.
