 What this pedal is designed for

A clip-in mountain bike pedal built for:

  • Trail / XC / enduro riding
  • Efficient pedalling + control over rough terrain
  • Easy entry/exit with adjustable release angles

 Key components explained

 Spindle: forged chromoly steel

  • The axle that screws into your crank
  • Chromoly = strong + impact resistant
     Built to survive rough riding and repeated hits

 Body: one-piece composite

  • Main pedal platform housing
  • Composite = lightweight plastic/nylon blend
     Reduces weight and improves impact resistance without going full metal

 Wings: stamped steel

  • The “claw” mechanism that holds your cleat in
  • Steel = durable engagement system
     Keeps clipping in solid even in mud and abuse

 Spring: 300-series stainless steel

  • Controls clip-in tension and release feel
  • Stainless = corrosion resistant
     Reliable release over time, even in wet conditions

 Bearings system (this is the quality part)

  • Inner bearing: Igus® LL-glide
    • Low-friction bushing system
    • Very good at handling dirt and grit
  • Outer bearing: Enduro cartridge bearing
    • Sealed precision bearing
    • Smooth rotation + long life

 This combo is typical of mid-to-high performance MTB pedals


 Release angle: 15° / 20°

  • How far you rotate your heel to unclip
  • 15° = quicker release
  • 20° = more secure feel before unclipping

 Adjustable feel depending on rider preference


 Weight: 262g per pair

  • Very light for clipless MTB pedals
     Good for XC and all-day riding efficiency

 What it feels like to ride

  • Quick, confident clip-in engagement
  • Secure locked-in pedalling on rough terrain
  • Smooth rotation with low maintenance bearings
  • Adjustable “pop-out” feel depending on setup

 Who this suits

  • XC and trail riders
  • Riders who want lightweight clipless efficiency
  • People upgrading from basic SPD pedals
  • Riders who want reliable release without being too loose

 Trade-offs

  • Less platform support than big enduro pedals
  • Not ideal for aggressive downhill riding
  • Composite body is lighter but less “tank-like” than full alloy pedals

 Bottom line

This is a lightweight, durable clipless MTB pedal with a well-balanced bearing system and adjustable release feel. It’s built for efficiency and control rather than pure downhill abuse.
