Pedals

Pedals are the vital foundation where your power meets the bike. As one of the three main contact points, they are responsible for transferring every ounce of energy from your legs into the drivetrain while ensuring you stay firmly connected to the bike through jumps and high-speed turns.

• Flat Pedals: Used by the 12 and under riders or those who prioritise freedom of movement. These feature large platforms with sharp metal pins that "bite" into the soles of your shoes to provide grip without being physically attached. 

• Clipless Pedals: The standard for competitive racing for the 13s and older, these allow riders to mechanically "clip" their shoes into the pedal. This connection enables a 360-degree pedal stroke—pulling up as well as pushing down—which is essential for maximum acceleration and maintaining control at elite speeds.

• Platform and Material: Quality racing pedals are engineered for a low profile to provide better ground clearance in corners and are constructed from lightweight alloys or composites to minimise rotating mass.
