Easy Entry, Light weight.  I'm pretty interested in these when I get the chance to ride them.  I have the predecessor the RXS Carbon's and they have been great pedals.  They are lightweight, durable and offer a good amount of float.  The float is both the radial twisting type and the lateral side to side.  Not too much float where they would feel sloppy or unpredictable.  The cafe cleat is descent for walking in, or at least as good as you should expect for a cycling shoe.  The wear is not on the part of the cleat that affects engagement or release.  So what is new about the I'clic?  Instead of a coiled steel spring they are using a carbon fiber leaf spring, so it is lighter.  Upon release the mechanism gets set in a position similar to a mouse trap, so it is ready to snap back into place around the cleat.  That to me seems like a good thing for the experienced clipless pedal user and the inexperienced clipless pedal user.  Ease of entry requiring next to no effort to engage.  Not to mention the amazing cornering clearance and the ability to know where those limits are by the close or small distance between the shoe and spindle.

Those are yummy. I saw them at Frostbike and was in love. When are you getting some?

Unsure yet, they look to be in limited supply. You should ride with us on Wednesday's at Penn Eagan 5:30.
