Ridiculously grippy flats. It truly feels like you’re locked in when grinding, but still allows minor foot adjustments with ease. And you will NOT find a better looking pedal out there. More pins per pedal than any Ive previously owned. (Race Face, Shimano, Rock Bros.). Yeah they cost a bit more but they take a beating without deforming like other aluminum pedals. The additional bearings and the frictionless tensioner make them as smooth as melted butter. And come on…. Where else can you order as many custom color combinations on a World class pedal?!? Pull the trigger… you wont regret it.
