GC Union Clip Pedal

Cleats are small devices that attach to the bottom of your cycling shoes and clip into the pedals. They provide a secure connection between your feet and the pedals, enhancing control and efficiency while pedaling. This is especially beneficial during intense rides, as it prevents your feet from slipping off the pedals, allowing for a more powerful and stable cycling experience.

Float refers to the lateral movement allowed by the cleat when clipped into the pedal. A cleat with 4-degree or 5-degree float allows your foot to move slightly side to side while still being attached. This feature helps reduce knee strain and promotes a more natural foot position, making your ride more comfortable and efficient.

Retention describes how securely the cleat is held in the pedal. The Hope GC Union Clip Pedal features "7 replaceable pins per side," which help keep the cleat securely in place while allowing for easy entry and release. This balance of security and accessibility is crucial for both safety and performance, ensuring your foot stays attached during rides but can be released quickly when needed.

Enduro biking combines downhill and cross-country elements, featuring timed downhill sections and untimed uphill climbs. The Hope GC Union Clip Pedals are designed to handle the rough terrain and provide excellent performance in both climbing and descending, making them an ideal choice for Enduro riders who need reliable foot retention and control.

Gravity biking focuses on descending steep and technical trails at high speeds. The Hope GC Union Clip Pedals are built to withstand impacts and provide reliable foot retention, making them suitable for gravity biking.

The Hope GC Union Clip Pedals are compatible with specific cleat systems, so it's essential to check if your cycling shoes are designed to accommodate these cleats. If your shoes have the appropriate mounting holes for the cleats, you can enjoy the benefits of secure foot retention and enhanced performance while cycling.
