They're one of only a couple of different options if you don't want the
defacto standard Shimano SPD pedals. Time/ATAC are about the only other
option.
All in all, people that use them seem to love them. They are lightweight,
easy to clip in and out, excellent mud clearance, strong, easy to service
yourself and quite pricey.
They have slightly more 'float' than SPD's which means that your legs or
knees have more room to move and twist on the pedal without coming unlatched
(especially useful if you have ****-eyed knees or injuries that need
slightly space to feel comfortable). They also unclip in one, specific
direction/motion compared to the SPD's that can unlatch in a variety of ways
(good or bad depending on your point of view) depending on how you have
tightened the release. They are not compatible with Shimano SPD's (and vice
versa) which means you have to change the cleats bolted to the shoes to ride
SPD's.
As already mentioned there are different models, the CandySL's have a small
composite platform built around them for extra support (useful if you wear a
non-racing shoe that has more flex in the sole), the Mallets have a large
platform built around them and are useful if you want to ride in normal
shoes or prefer to be unclipped for certain moves.
Why are you interested in them?
