The increased platform area does seem to provide more stability.
I bought these pedals as a backup set for my road bike and indoor training bike.
I have nothing bad to say about these pedals.
Love these pedals
LOOKs great! Works well. Sexy pedals. Only gripe is the clipping is too light for my liking, but not so light that I unclip when bunny hopping over stuff. Overall a great purchase at this price point. No complaints yet, but I might have a complaint when I need to service this new design which LOOKs to require LOOKs proprietary tool'
