Sorry doof, I'm hoarding mine because the new pedals suck. Last year at this time, you could pick up new sets for nothing. What's up now?

Higher stack height, squeeky plastic body, premature release. That's about it.

I haven't found any vast difference between the Impact and RXS series of pedals. The new pedals are much lighter, and I think that the new cleat functions a little better. I have found that both versions of the pedals worked pretty well.

One things for sure, both models offer a lot of value right now. I bought a second pair of Impact Mags, used a couple times/like new for $60, last month, and just this weekend scored a set of RXS Carbons for $70 in what appears to be the same condition. Both on ebay, market prices.

These pedals rule, I'm surprised they go so cheap.

I have brand new in box Time impact mag pedals with a second set of cleats. How does 80 +5 for shipping sound?

Stack height increased - from 7.7mm to 8.0mm, still incredibly low compared to the competition. (I believe a Look Keo is around the 15.7mm sole to axle)

Squeaky plastic? I had more noise (and that's very minimal) from my Mag and Impact S, my RXS carbon and RXS ti have been noise free, I attribute this to the new cleat design however. The red impact cleat was a one piece hard plastic, the news 'cafe' cleat appears to have 2 materials and be smoother and slightly softer.

Premature release: going a bit personal there, but I've never suffered from it!

Either pedal is a winner in my books, the only reason I changed my Impact Mag to a RXS carbon/ti is that the front corner of the pedal body snapped somehow (may have tried to pedal through a tight corner in a crit or something).
