Clipless MTB Pedals

[SadieKate]

I hated the Candys, the four sided entry seemed to mean tension was different on each side. I loved them for commuting, couldn't do it on the trail as numerous times I got stuck and ended up hugging a tree for dear life. For me they needed way too deliberate of a twist/pressure to release.

Huh, I've have multiple pairs of Candy's and Eggbeaters (as had the hubby and many, many friends). Never noticed a tension difference on different sides and they've released every time I've needed them to, including my major kerwhump on Saturday. I highly recommend them because of the 4-sided design. And the more worn your cleats, the easier they release.

A little maintenance can make a difference. The cleats are also directional in that you set them up different ways to get a different release angle which can mean it feels harder or easier, but it's really due to the angle.
