FIFTY-FIFTY Nylon Composite Mountain Bike Pedals - Wide Flat Platform

Our review of the FIFTY-FIFTY Mountain Bike Pedals finds them best suited for riders who want a low-profile, grippy flat pedal without the weight penalty of metal platforms. The standout reason to buy is simple: a wide 106 x 104 mm platform combined with nine replaceable steel pins per side gives reliably secure footing on technical trails while the ultra thin 0.7in body reduces pedal strikes. These pedals are a practical upgrade from stock platforms for recreational and aggressive trail riders who value grip, clearance and light weight.

Key Features

• Durable construction: A nylon composite body with a Cr-Mo spindle offers shock resistance and corrosion protection so the pedals hold up to trail abuse.
• Excellent grip: Nine replaceable steel pins per side provide consistent traction that keeps feet planted when cornering and on rough surfaces.
• Ultra thin profile: The 0.7in thickness gives greater clearance to reduce pedal strikes on roots and rocks for more confident line choice.
• Large platform: The 106 x 104 mm footprint supports wider shoes and spreads pressure for better comfort on long rides.
• Light and sealed: At about 351 g per pair and with sealed bearings, these pedals are light and protected from water and dust for use in varied conditions.

Who It's For

These pedals suit mountain, trail and all-mountain riders who prefer flat platforms over clipless systems, including enduro and downhill riders who need a large, grippy surface and want to avoid pedal strikes. Riders of gravel bikes, e-bikes and commuters who seek a durable, low-maintenance flat pedal will also appreciate the sealed bearings and light weight.

Less suitable are riders who demand a metal platform for extreme longevity under heavy impact or those who prefer clip-in systems for maximum pedaling efficiency; if you need pedal pins molded into a metal body for professional-level abuse, a different pedal may be a better choice.

• Lightweight at roughly 351 g per pair while retaining a sturdy Cr-Mo spindle.
