Composite Pedals – Lightweight, Durable Flat Bike Pedals for Mountain Bikes (MTB)

I had a little trouble getting my old broken pedal off as they'd been on the bike for a long time, but once off these new ones were easy to install. They're clearly marked with an L and R for where to install them, and once on I immediately noticed a difference. They are quite wide, which is great for getting more purchase on the pedals. As others have noted, the metal spikes on each side hold your shoes very securely. I image they may tear up the soles of some shoes if you pivot your feet on the pedals a lot (I don't because I simply can't; my feet don't move a millimeter once I place them on the pedals!). These give me a very secure footing on my pedals and allow me to not think twice about my feet over sliding off the pedals. They feel very solid and high quality. I bought the orange color and I think they look awesome. I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend these pedals to anyone who wants great pedal to shoe traction without using clip-in shoes.

Great pedals with good grips

These are a good upgrade over stock pedals. They are slightly bigger than most stock pedals and have better grip. The ability to pick different colors allows you to customize your bike.

W.O.W.I've tried a few flats - Neutron clones, Chesters, Deity T-Mac clones - but really nothing compares to these.- I was a fan of grub screws and didn't really like the grip on Chesters with the 3mm pins. These solve it with 10, 3mm pins/side. Amazing grip. Mind=changed.- I was a fan of aluminum pedals for durability and cost. These glide off rocks and are 1/3 the cost of comparable aluminum pedals. Mind=changed again.- I'm old and I need grip on technical downhills, but there's always this "are you REALLY locked in on these pedals right before you hit that STEEP drop?" feeling right before you commit. With these? Lawd, I'm STUCK ON THE PEDALS. Mind=Changed yet again.What do I like?1. They glide off rocks. Took a HUGE hit last weekend on a technical trail - hard enough I thought the pedal would crack. I didn't even bend the pins. My aluminum pedals kind of "stick" when I hit a rock. These "pop" or "glide", kind of hard to explain unless you've done it.2. They have incredible grip. Way better than grub screws with FiveTen Freeriders, and far better than comparable 3mm pin pedals. Lots of pins. Although the pedal is nylon, it is stiff.3. They have a huge platform. The last set of pedals required me to be "just right" when putting my foot down. On these, it is impossible to miss the pedal. Great confidence on any kind of trail.4. They are truly flat (almost convex). I originally favored "concave" pedals, where the ball of the foot found a pocket in the slight curve of the pedal. As I got more comfortable I realized that this just locked my foot into one position on the pedal. With these "flatter" flats I can put the ball of my foot further forward of the axle, which is better power. I can feel it on steep descents, steep climbs, and jumps.What don't I like?Hmmm. . . the packaging is utilitarian.Price. I dare you to find a better price to performance ratio than these.Color. Green. It's not easy being green. Unless you are these pedals.Just get them.

Just bought these after reading a review on gearlab and mentions these had an 8/10 on mobility. However, the bearings do not spin as freely as the current crappy pedals that came with the bike. That is my only complaint about these. Otherwise, they are pretty good in terms of grip.

These pedals are excellent! Super grippy, lightweight, and durable – they hold up great on rough trails. The wide platform provides a solid base, and the pins give incredible traction, even in wet conditions. For the price, you can’t beat the performance. I ride in the PNW so there are lots of roots. I have had more pedal strikes than I’d like to admit and these have held up with no issues.

Great pedals!-Larger footprint-well placed pins-mild concave allows excellent foot placementI picked these up to replace my RF Chesters, I wear a size 12 shoe, and wanted something a bit bigger, after having ridden some friends Crank Brothers Stamp, DMR Vault, and Wolftooth waveform pedals, but not wanting to spend the $$$ onfacny alloy pedals that I'll bang the heck out of on rocks etc.Compared to the chester, these are really pretty close in size, but they are WIDER which was a great improvement. And they overall just have a better feel than the chester.With the Race face chester, and the one-up pedal at nearly the same price, 10/10 I would take the one-up over the chester any day.

Tougher than they look. Months now and no damage from roots and rocks. Honestly surprised how they've held up.
