MKS Orbiter 9/16" Pedals - astral blue

The New Standard: Where Strength Meets Ultimate Lightness.

Named for its solid, satellite-like aesthetic, the "Orbiter" reflects the combined harmony of the crank’s orbital revolution and its own smooth rotation. Weighing in at just 344g, it stands as the lightest pedal in its size class among the MKS lineup. By combining a newly developed lightweight spindle with a sealed & bush bearing system, MKS has achieved a significant reduction in profile while maintaining high rigidity.

The mid-sized platform (W101.8 x L104mm) is optimized for a wide range of riders and features 11 meticulously positioned traction pins. Combined with a gentle concave surface, the design optimizes contact with the sole of the shoe—delivering a 'locked-in' feel that efficiently translates every pedal stroke into forward momentum.

Features of the MKS Orbiter Pedals:

• An extremely slim profile with a stack height ranging from 5.6mm to 11.8mm provides a direct pedaling feel and increased ground clearance.
• The rotation is intentionally tuned to be "controlled" rather than free-spinning to prevent unexpected movement, assisting in quick and reliable pedal re-engagement during off-road riding.
• The minimalist design eliminates unnecessary gaps and protrusions to prevent mud buildup, ensuring consistent performance in the harshest trail conditions.
• Chrome plating on the spindle and pins ensures high surface hardness and corrosion resistance, while full serviceability of all components allows for a lifetime of use.
• Step Area: double sided
• Sealed bushing bearings
