Mountain bike pedals

Downhill cyclists prefer platform mountain bike pedals over clipless or toe cages because they can prove hazardous. Many platforms provide better grip with short, metal studs that secures the rider’s foot on the pedal without fastening the two together.

What companies manufacture platform mountain bike pedals?
• Atomlab
• SunRingle
• Gusset
• Azonic
• Blackspire

Platform mountain bike pedals are rounder, which don’t do as much damage to riders’ knees/shins if the crankarm accidentally swings back. Many platforms are made from disposable plastic and cannot be rebuilt if they suffer damage.
