Pedals

When it came to designing the Contra pedal, we were having trouble keeping the pedal profile thin while not sacrificing the strength of the spindle. Instead of taking an ‘off-the-shelf’ spindle, we went and developed our own custom option which uses a smaller caged bearing, but stays thicker closer to the crank arm where you need the strength the most. With removable pins on one side of the pedal, you can keep one side nice and grippy, and one side for grinding on. You can also put the steel pins in after the moulded pins have been worn down to give more life to your pedal. The end result is a super low profile pedal, with an axle built to withstand the force of today’s toughest riding.

We quickly realized that pedals don’t need to remain small and as long as the weight is right the pedal can easily be larger in size. The Plaza has quickly become a favorite of the pros and many struggle with the idea of going back to a smaller pedal. The Plaza features a knurled top surface and crmo spindle to give it a longer lifespan. Give it try, you might never go back.

Our riders asked for a low profile, micro style pedal using the loose ball bearing system and integrating a crmo spindle, we scratched our heads and shortly after delivered the Slash nylon pedal. It’s somewhere close to perfect in size, features a lightweight design and has a nice knurled top surface.
