Overview
Crankbrothers designs this clip-in pedal around four-sided entry, so a rider can engage from any side, with a ribbed body for grip when unclipped. The wings are cast steel and the body is a composite, with chamfered edges to reduce rock strikes.
The reason to buy is quick, forgiving engagement with float you can tune, backed by a long warranty. The limit is the listing's odd thread size row and a short feature list that skips pedal width and stack height.
Who it's for
Mountain, cross-country and cyclocross riders moving to clipless pedals who value mud clearance and adjustable release. Road riders and casual flat-pedal users should look at a different pedal type.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable float and release
- Mud shedding design
- Long warranty term
- Thread size row looks wrong
- Stack height not listed
- Pedal width not given
Performance notes
Engagement from any side shortens the time spent hunting for the pedal, and the open design lets mud pass through. Float and release angle can be set to suit the rider, and a bashguard and chamfered edges lessen damage from rocks. Sealed bearings handle wet conditions.
