Mountain Bike Pedals

Bike pedals for mountain bikes are crucial for climbing, cornering and keeping stable while descending. Depending on the mountain bike discipline you enjoy, you might prefer flat pedals or clips. 

Flat bike pedals for MTB

Flat or platform pedals, as their name suggests, have a flat surface to place your foot on. These flat pedals often come with pins to reduce the accumulation of mud and increase traction.
Initially used by BMX riders, platform pedals grew popular in downhill mountain biking. As you are not physically connected to the pedals, getting off the bike in a hurry is easier than with clipless pedals, which is quite useful in this crash-prone discipline. However, flat pedals are used across all MTB disciplines for their versatility. Unlike clipless pedals, you do not need special shoes to use these pedals, and these tend to be cheaper than their clipless counterparts. 

Clipless pedals for MTB

The most popular choice of pedals for mountain bikers, MTB pedals offer improved efficiency and increase the power transferred from your legs to the bike. From super lightweight and minimalist designs to Shimano SPDs combination pedals, we carry a full selection of clipless mountain bike pedals for every discipline and riding style. 
If you want your feet securely held on rough terrain and make hoping and lifting your bike easier, then clipless pedals are the pedals for you. 

Combination pedals for MTB

Double-sided mountain bike pedals combine a clipless design and a flat base. These are built either with a clip on one side and a platform on the other, or with a clip integrated into the platform on both sides. Mountain bike combination pedals offer versatility. They are great if you have a bike you want to use for different applications (commute, downhill ride, or trail ride). The downside of these pedals is that these pedals tend to be heavier, and the clipless system might be a little more difficult to engage than the clipless-only pedals. 

Why do mountain bike pedals have spikes? 

As you go down the trails, mud and dried leaves can get caught in your pedals which affects their mechanism and can prevent you from clipping on and off easily or making your feet slip. For that reason, MTB pedals tend to be fitted with spikes to add extra grip and traction. 

Are all mountain bike pedals the same size?

When it comes to pedal sizes, there are two sizes: 1/2" and 9/16"
Entry-level mountain bikes use one-piece cranks with 1/2 pedals. Other bikes will have a two or three pieces crank and use 9/16" pedals. 

Are all mountain bike pedals the same thread size?

Yes, the TPI (or threads per inch) is 20 for both 1/2" and 9/16" diameter pedals. (Older bikes might have different thread shapes)
