The singular advantage of a bike is that you can adapt it to the routes and terrain that you want to ride and to your style of riding. Consequently, you may at times want to swap your clipless pedals for the simple design of flat, or platform, pedals for steep and technical rides. Practicality meets aesthetics in your choice of flat pedal as you no longer need to worry about which route you are going to take
Platform pedals are frequently the rider’s preferred choice for racing and riding on twisty and steep courses. With platform pedals there’s not the technical cage and cleats associated with clipless pedals, and they provide the perfect contact with the foot even when in a hurry. But flat pedals don't necessarily imply foot slippage
This is because flat pedals are designed to allow a faster shoe to pedal engagement and support due to their large contact surface that provides a more stable grip, plus strategically designed contact zones for optimal safety. Using a recent technology, the sole of the rider’s shoe is gripped to offer exceptional comfort and to reduce the rider’s required power output due to a more fluid and less jerky pedal stroke
Beyond the technical features and innumerable advantages when riding, platform pedals add a certain aesthetic design to a mountain, or road bike. With a variety of colours, easy pedal lubrication and a variety of stud lengths, flat pedals give any bike a unique look
Probikeshop offers you a wide range of platform pedals from the thickness of studs to the material used in the pedal manufacture, not overlooking their colour and design. Choose the pedals that suit your style, level and budget and treat your feet to the convenience of a platform pedal
