Title: Padel options with a wider Q factor
Post by: ThiloK on August 18, 2025, 09:59:07 AM

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for some light cheap padels, that ideally would have a wide Q factor around 57mm

I came up with a small list, bucklos sound promising on paper, but I could also be wrong on the Q Factor of these.
As a reference, SPD SL Ultegra wide are 57 mm and cost around 100€, original Time Xpro 10 in 57 would be around 120€ and weigh about the same

1. Xpresso https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009467005474.html
Q factor of 51.7 or 54.3 depending on cleat position

2. Onirii PD 06 https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006979501199.html
Q factor of 51(normal) 54(extended) based on a youtube comment
Some people report lateral cleat movement with original shimano cleats

3. Bucklos https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008217687726.html
Q Factor of around 54-57mm , estimated based on their dimensions

4. LFZ https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006256883405.html
q Factor, I couldn't find any dimensions
People report bushings instead of bearings and poor sealing

5. Ryet https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009384823035.html
Q Factor 52mm

Did I miss any options and has anyone ever tried the Bucklos pedal?

I just received them. They come in at 230.5gr and 285.5 with the included cleats and hardware

I measured the Q Factor at 57mm with a total of 4mm of lateral float. Q Factor with the cleat pushed all the way out results in 59mm Q Factor. Is this amount af lateral( not rotational) float normal/good? My only reference are Favero Assioma Duo, they have no lateral float at all (red cleats)
