MTB Pedals

A steep climb, a rooty tech section, a quick drop into the next descent – your MTB pedals are one of three contact points with the bike. They determine power transfer, control, and confidence on the trail. Choosing between clipless, flat, and hybrid pedals affects how directly you put power down and how solid your platform is in rough terrain. You'll find MTB pedals from Shimano, Crankbrothers, HT Components, and more, from lightweight XC clipless pedals to grippy enduro flats.

Whether you're making every pedal stroke count on a climb or staying planted on the descent – the right pedal brings it all together.

• Mud-shedding: Open mechanisms on clipless pedals clear mud and debris reliably so you can clip in when it counts.
• Solid platform: Strong pins on flat pedals and a secure connection on clipless pedals give you grip even in wet and muddy conditions.
• Tough construction: Quality axles and sealed bearings hold up to hard off-road use season after season.

MTB pedals essentially differ in how your foot connects to them. The range of possibilities runs from a fixed, clipless connection for maximum efficiency to wide platforms for load distribution and control, and even to hybrid solutions that combine both. Which type suits you depends on your discipline, riding style, and terrain of choice.

A fixed connection between shoe and pedal means direct, efficient power transfer. Your cleat clicks in to the pedal, a lateral twist releases it. Ideal for cross-country, marathon, and trail riding where efficiency on the climbs matters. 

Wide platforms with replaceable pins give you maximum grip and control on demanding trails – no fixed connection required. You can pull your foot free instantly, which matters on technical sections, jumps, and drops. The go-to for enduro, freeride, and the bike park.

Hybrid pedals come in two forms. Single-sided models have a clipless mechanism on one side and an open platform on the other: clip in when you need to push, use the flat side on technical sections or around town. Two-sided hybrid pedals integrate the clipless mechanism into a wide platform, so you always have a stable base underfoot whether you're clipped in or not.

Flat pedals sized for younger riders make it easier to get into trail riding. Smaller platforms, lower weight, and grippy pins give kids secure footing and full control without a fixed connection. Tough enough for pump tracks, forest trails, and street riding.

New bike, new setup, or a long-overdue upgrade – with MTB bike pedals, every detail counts. Platform size, material, and cleat system all need to match your setup and riding style. Here's what to consider.

A big drop, a tight switchback, a bunny hop over a downed log – the right mountain biking pedals give you the platform you need to pull off any move at a moment’s notice.
