Crankbrothers Mallet Trail Pedals | Black/black Spring

These platform pedals deliver exceptional grip and control for trail riders who demand reliable foot positioning across technical terrain. Engineered with dual-sided entry for intuitive clip-in and the confidence-inspiring security of platform pedals, they bridge the gap between clipless efficiency and flat pedal forgiveness. Whether you're navigating rocky descents, technical climbs, or mixed-terrain adventures, these pedals offer the versatility and performance that modern trail riding demands.

• Dual-sided clipless design with platform surface for emergency foot placement and transition flexibility
• CrankBrothers signature easy-entry mechanism reduces learning curve and enables quick unclipping in technical sections
• Lightweight composite body construction minimizes rotational weight without sacrificing durability or stack height
• Replaceable cleats and wear parts extend product lifespan and reduce long-term ownership costs
• 4mm of platform surface on each side provides stable foot positioning and confidence on technical terrain
• Sealed cartridge bearing system protects against mud, dirt, and water ingress in wet conditions
• Compatible with 4-hole cleat mounting for standardized two-bolt shoe integration across brands

On the trail, these pedals excel where variable terrain demands adaptability. Riders frequently encounter situations requiring quick foot adjustments—steep rocky sections, technical rock gardens, or unexpected dismounts. The platform surface gives you the option to dab a foot down or shift your position without completely unclipping, while the clipless mechanism locks you in securely for climbing power and pedaling efficiency. The intuitive entry design means you'll spend less mental energy thinking about foot placement and more time focusing on line selection and trail features. Even when fully clipped in, the forgiving platform prevents the catching sensation that makes some clipless systems feel sketchy on technical terrain.

These pedals are ideal for intermediate to advanced trail riders seeking the best of both worlds—the efficiency gains of clipless systems with the security and adaptability of platform pedals. They excel for enduro racing, all-mountain riding, and technical trail exploration where conditions constantly shift. If you want predictable performance that won't betray you during challenging descents or require constant foot adjustments, this platform-clipless hybrid design offers the confidence you need to ride harder and more aggressively.
