New Catalyst EVO pedals..
Just seen this, a few months later!
I did see the new pedals at the time. I was in touch with them in the US about getting rebuild kits as I thought one of my sets needed it. It didn't but was good to know they were avaialble. Also good to see they are innovating the design but annoying for me as I have four pairs of the old type.
Regarding the pins and grip, I've just started riding with a pair of the UK version, which don't have spanner flats. They came without the pins screwed in, so I had to do it myself, which was a pain as I couldn't get half of them in properly before they rounded out. So predictably, I have lost a few pins after a couple of weeks. But even when the pins were all there, the grip wasn't as good as my other pairs, which are all the original US version.

New Catalyst EVO pedals..

"We have updated and modernised the platform design to allow for rear entry M4 pins. Because the 8mm pins themselves create much more effective protrusion into the sole of the shoe over previous grub screws, we have reduced the number of pins 10 per face, while increasing the overall grip that the pedal offers.
The internals still utilise IGUS bushings, but we have switched to dual MR12 bearing setup, which we believe is more resilient to extreme weather conditions. The new pedal is also 6 grams lighter than its predecessor, thats not a lot for weight weenies, but we also have a titanium axle upgrade coming soon!"
