In the last 100 years while other components have undergone significant change flat pedals have remained practically the same. Its surprising since pedals provide the point which transfers human power to the bike & ultimately the road. The position of the foot on the pedal influences your efficiency & has consequences for muscle development & joints from hip to toe. The Ergon PC2 is the first non SPD-type pedal to have been designed with the ergonomic demands & the biomechanics of the user in mind. The result is impressive. A new type of pedal with features which will increase power & comfort & help avoid aches & pains associated with traditional designs.
