Crankbrothers Stamp Flat MTB Pedals - Thin, Grippy Platform

In this review of the Crankbrothers Stamp Flat MTB Pedals the bottom line is simple: these are lightweight, low-profile flats built for riders who want confident contact and easy maintenance. The pedals are offered in two size-specific platforms to match shoe fit and they prioritize a slim 11-13mm profile with a concave surface that keeps the foot centered. Riders who value durable bearings, replaceable pins and a pedal designed to work with Crankbrothers shoes will find a lot to like here.

Key Features

• Lightweight composite body: The composite platform keeps weight low at 299g for Small and 329g for Large, making them feel nimble underfoot.
• Thin, low-profile design: A minimal 11mm-13mm thickness reduces toe overlap and keeps the shoe closer to the crank for a more connected ride.
• Adjustable grip pins: Multiple hex pattern pins per side offer customizable traction so riders can dial the bite for their shoe sole and conditions.
• Serviceable components: Premium Igus bearings, a Chromoly spindle and a grease port mean the pedals are easy to maintain and refresh with a kit.
• Size-specific platforms: Stamp Small and Stamp Large are sized for different shoe ranges so the shoe/pedal interface is optimized for fit and contact area.

Who It's For

The Stamp pedals suit trail and enduro riders who prefer flat pedals and want a mix of light weight and durable parts. They work well for riders who run casual to aggressive flat technique, need a broad contact surface, and appreciate replaceable internals that keep the pedals serviceable long term.

Riders who should look elsewhere include those wanting clipless systems or extreme pin customization beyond the nine-pin pattern; similarly, if you need the absolute widest platform available for very large feet you may prefer an oversize platform from other lines despite the Stamp Large covering most sizes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent grip from multiple adjustable pins and a concave platform that holds the foot in place.

Cons

• Riders needing a much larger platform than 114mm x 111mm may prefer a different model.
• Pin adjustment requires a hex tool and occasional refresh kit service for long-term peak performance.
