$15.49
Description
Trail-Ready SPD Pedals with Customizable Grip
Engineered for mountain bikers seeking precision control on technical descents or gravel adventures, these pedals blend aggressive traction with rider-tailored responsiveness.
Performance Highlights
– Dual-Surface Platform: 17% wider stance distributes pressure evenly between clipped-in shoes and casual rides (e.g., bikepacking trips where frequent clipping/unclipping occurs)
– Impact-Resistant Cage: Integrated alloy guard protects binding mechanisms from rock strikes while maintaining 8° float adjustment range
– Pro-Grade Retention System: Patented dual-claw mechanism engages smoothly at 8° release angle yet grips firmly during 45mph downhill runs
– Modular Tension Control: Adjust entry/release resistance in 5-stage increments (2-12Nm torque range) to match boot stiffness or trail conditions
