CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process where computers control machine tools to create precise parts. For our bike pedals, this means intricate designs and high accuracy in shaping the aluminum. This results in a durable, well-finished product that enhances performance and longevity, making your rides smoother and more enjoyable.

6061 aluminum is a high-quality aluminum alloy known for its excellent mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. It is lightweight yet strong, making it perfect for bike pedals that need to endure the demands of mountain biking. This ensures that the pedals are not only durable but also contribute to a lighter overall bike weight.

The concave shape of the pedal surface is designed to curve inward, allowing your foot to fit snugly into the pedal. This design enhances grip and stability while pedaling, providing better control during your rides. It helps to keep your foot securely in place, reducing the risk of slipping and improving overall performance.

Sealed cartridge roller bearings are components that allow the pedals to spin smoothly. The "sealed" feature protects the bearings from dirt and moisture, which can lead to wear and tear. This is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the pedals, especially during outdoor activities like mountain biking, where exposure to the elements is common.

Hot spots refer to areas on your foot that experience excessive pressure or discomfort while riding. Our pedal design aims to eliminate these hot spots by incorporating low-profile bearings and strategic placement. This thoughtful design ensures a more comfortable riding experience, allowing you to focus on the trail ahead without distractions from foot discomfort.

The combination of CNC machining, 6061 aluminum construction, concave shape, sealed cartridge roller bearings, and hot spot elimination all work together to enhance the overall performance of the pedals. These features ensure durability, comfort, and smooth operation, allowing you to ride longer and more efficiently, making them a worthwhile investment for any biking enthusiast.
