We set out to design a superior pedal&44; & we delivered! Our pedals are produced from a custom extruded aluminum alloy&44; to provide a very high strength-to-weight ratio. We machine them to exacting standards to improve both the feel & the life expectancy of the bearings. We cut no corners&44; or should I say we cut all corners. All edges are chamfered to allow mud to push through more easily&44; as well as adding to the outstanding aesthetics. The spindles ride in widely spaced proprietary polymer bearings that not only weigh less&44; but run smoother&44; quieter&44; & longer than typical bearings. The bearings require no lube&44; are impervious to water&44; & are double-sealed at both ends to prevent dust from infiltrating. Our pedals are also very low profile. This&44; combined with the forward leaning design&44; provide a very stable & efficient pedalling platform! Technical specs: &8226; 12mm Cr Mo or Ti spindles&8226; 14 stainless steel traction pins per side&8226; 9/16-20 thread (mtb standard)
