6 of The Best Mountain Bike Flat Pedals

[@Skye-JP]

As a relatively new rider who has scratches all over my legs, I think that the flat pedal system is backwards: what would be wrong with putting rubber on the pedal and spikes on the shoe? In that case, wouldn't the grip be the same with less chance of getting cut by the pedals?

[@OlagCakes]

I wouldn't recommend it for many reasons. If the metal pegs are on the shoe, that will add a good deal of additional weight and awkwardness walking however little that might be. Another reason is that the pegs can't be literally everywhere, so it could be possible to place your feet in such a way that many of the pegs miss thus forcing you to fully lift your foot and readjust. Finally, your pedals really take beating whether it be from clipping rocks or just the forces exerted. Adding a malleable rubber to the other parts, it is not only liable to rip and tear from pedal strikes, but it is also likely to shift underfoot whenever you put a lot of force into the pedal. The shoes being rubber and the pegs being on the pedal is the simplest and most effective way for flats.

Up next should be the top 10 shin scars as a result of some of these pins 😂

Love it Simon 😂😬

[@mrvwbug4423]

I would definitely nominate the TMAC for best shin shredder haha

More of Lauren's voice overs please.😁

What are the lightest in this list?

[@NotABrake]

I know these arnt really cycling shoes, but Nike freerun 5.0 are real good in my experience.

[@brauliovara]

It prevents slipping is what I like

[@jf8534]

What's with the reflectors on those pedals?

[@jamiemtb]

I use hope F20 pedals in black on a hardtail and on a full suspension mtb.

[@brauliovara]

They are super cool

[@lanapearce9968]

I like clipless on my bike so I run Shimano Saints.

[@chainreactioncycles]

Nice Lana 🙌🏻

[@mrvwbug4423]

No TMACs, no Daggas, no OneUps?

[@ADVtheMISSIONARY]

DMR v12's with extra long pins FTS!

[@smtkelly]

DMR V11 Nylon Pedal I'm liking them, if you pedal strike it sounds way less 🤢 and you can tell you'd hit a pedal and not something pricey. I used to have Cully pedals they were amazing like Velcro but the pins were a weak point.

Run Sam Hills on my whip at the moment, pins are sharper than piranha teeth

[@chainreactioncycles]

They’re so good Michael!

[@dittygonemtb2360]

G11 from pdxpedals🤙

[@G3LDY]

No DMR vaults

[@hardtail_reapers_mtb8014]

The Hope F20s are nice, but you didn't mention the Chromag Dagga's.

[@MattFromWork]

Chromag Daggas

[@DarkstarDarth]

I see riders going down trails in flip flops so ...do your own thing.
