Slipping pedals and worn-out grip are two of the most common frustrations for riders upgrading from stock components — and they affect confidence on trail more than almost anything else. These flat mountain bike pedals are built around a CNC-machined aluminum alloy platform, conical anti-slip pins, and a 12mm steel axle with a DU bushing and sealed cartridge bearing system, giving you a stable, grippy, and durable platform for trail, gravel, and enduro riding.

Why It Stands Out

✓ CNC-machined aluminum alloy body — precision-machined construction means consistent dimensions and a rigid platform underfoot, so there's no flex or movement when you're putting power through the pedals.

✓ Conical anti-slip pins — the tapered pin shape bites into your shoe sole while still allowing small foot adjustments mid-ride, so you can reposition your stance on technical terrain without fully losing contact with the platform.

✓ 12mm high-tensile steel axle — the oversized axle diameter increases load capacity and structural rigidity compared to the 9mm axles common on entry-level pedals, making it better suited to the repeated impacts of trail and enduro riding.

✓ DU bushing and sealed cartridge bearing — the dual-support axle system pairs a DU bushing for shock resistance with a sealed cartridge bearing for smooth rotation. The sealed design is built to resist water and grit ingress during wet and muddy rides.

✓ 118 × 99.5mm platform with 13.8mm profile — the wide platform gives your foot a well-supported base, while the low 13.8mm thickness keeps the pedal close to the crank for improved ground clearance on technical terrain.

✓ Open-cage hollow body design — the cutaway sections in the platform allow mud and water to drain through rather than accumulate on the surface, keeping the pins exposed and in contact with your shoe.

✓ ~304g per pair — a lightweight aluminium construction that reduces rotational weight without sacrificing the platform stiffness needed for trail riding.

✓ 9/16" universal thread — compatible with the vast majority of adult mountain bikes, gravel bikes, enduro bikes, and cruisers straight out of the box, with no adapters required.

Where to Use It

→ Trail and enduro riding — the conical pins and wide platform provide a stable, grippy contact point on technical singletrack, loose terrain, and rooted descents.

→ Gravel and adventure cycling — the low 13.8mm profile suits gravel bikes where ground clearance matters, and the open cage drains the mud that accumulates on longer mixed-surface rides.

→ First upgrade from stock plastic pedals — the aluminium platform and pin system offer a meaningful improvement in grip and platform rigidity over moulded plastic stock pedals.

→ Urban and commuter riding — the sealed bearing system and aluminium construction are suited to daily use in wet city conditions.

→ Bike park and pump track sessions — the reinforced 12mm axle is built to handle the repeated lateral and impact loads of jumps, drops, and berms.

How It Works

1.Conical pin grip system — the tapered pins are positioned across the platform surface. When you step onto the pedal, the pin tips press into your shoe sole, creating multiple grip points. The conical shape allows small foot movements before reaching full resistance, so you can adjust your position without the pins disengaging completely.

2. DU bushing and sealed cartridge bearing axle — the 12mm steel axle is supported by a DU bushing at the outer end and a sealed cartridge bearing at the inner end. The sealed cartridge bearing is designed to keep grease retained and to resist water and grit entry, which helps maintain smooth axle rotation over time.

3. Open-cage aluminium platform — the cutaway sections in the body create drainage channels through the platform. Mud, water, and debris pass through rather than sitting on top of the surface, keeping the pins at full height and in contact with your shoe sole.

How to Install and Set Up

1.Identify left and right pedals — each pedal axle is marked "L" (left) and "R" (right). Installing on the wrong side will cause the pedal to unthread during riding, so confirm before starting.

2. Clean the crank arm threads — wipe the threaded holes with a clean cloth to remove old grease or debris from the previous pedals.

3. Apply bicycle grease to the axle threads — a thin layer of grease on the axle threads before installation helps prevent seizing and makes future removal easier, particularly in wet riding environments.

4. Thread in by hand first — start threading each pedal by hand to avoid cross-threading. The right pedal is standard (clockwise) thread; the left pedal is reverse (counter-clockwise) thread.

5. Tighten with a pedal wrench or 6mm hex key — use the flats on the axle with a pedal wrench, or a 6mm hex key inserted into the axle end. Tighten firmly and evenly.

6. Check foot position once installed — stand on the pedals and confirm that the ball of your foot sits over the axle centre point, which is the most efficient and stable position for pedalling.

Tip: A quick rinse of the platform after muddy rides keeps the pin holes clear and prevents hardened debris from building up around the bearing seal area.

Care and Maintenance

✓ Rinse after muddy or wet rides — use a low-pressure hose or damp cloth to clear mud and grit from the platform and pin areas. Avoid directing high-pressure water at the axle seal, as this can force water past the bearing seal.

✓ Inspect pins periodically — check pins for bending or wear after hard use, particularly following rock or root impacts. Damaged pins can be individually replaced using a standard hex key.

✓ Re-grease axle threads when removing pedals — apply fresh bicycle grease to the axle threads any time the pedals are removed and reinstalled, to prevent corrosion and thread damage.

✓ Check for axle play every few months — hold the crank and gently rock each pedal laterally. Noticeable play may indicate the bearing or bushing needs servicing. This is normal after extended riding in wet conditions.

✓ Dry before long-term storage — if the bike is stored for an extended period, ensure the pedals are dry and consider a light application of bike-specific protectant on the platform surface.
