Three new pedals are hitting the Canadian market this Spring. DMR Brings us a beefy trail and enduro pedal with their VTwin , Crank Brothers gives us more options with their cross-country Double Shot 3 pedal, and Wellgo brings a new double-sided hybrid pedal to market at a super competitive pricepoint!
DMR VTwin: Enduro/DH/Trail
A common theme in more agressive off-road riding is to increase the outer body size of a conventional SPD-style clip-in pedal for increased traction under harsh riding conditions, and allow the rider to still grip to the pedals even when not clipped in fully. DMR’s Vtwin has a host of features to improve confidence even on the roughest terrain.
• SPD-compatible clipless assembly that rotates on a spring-loaded axle for easier entry
• Open design clipless assembly for improved mud shedding
• Extruded aluminium body
• Outer cage features height adjustable nylon spacers and shims to dial-in shoe-pedal connection with shoes of varying sole heights – tune the height of the platform independently front and rear for the perfect fit
• Additional options of adding up to 7 traction pins per side (replacing the flat-head screws that secure the nylon spacers) – removable/replaceable for fine tuning grip and feel
• Spins on serviceable DU bushings and a heavy-duty 4130 chromoly axle
Crank Brothers Double Shot 3: Trail/XC
The Crank Brothers Double Shot 3 is a newcomer to the double-sided pedal category. Double sided pedals (flat on one side, clip on the other) are popular in road and commuter markets, but have yet to have the high-end treatment that Crank Brothers give them.
• Crank Brothers popular half-and-half hybrid pedal
• Conventional flat pedal on one side, clip-in on the other
• Conventional flat pedal side features 8 adjustable pins for dialing-in grip. Clip-in side features a diamond plate traction area
• Comes fitted with a long spindle as standard
(+5 mm q-factor) for excellent crankarm/ chainstay clearance with a wide selection of shoe styles and sizes
• Premium bearings and double seal system
• 5 year warranty
• Weight 403 g (pair)
Wellgo C317: Hybrid/Light MTB
Wellgo’s C317 hybrid pedal is the perfect solution for those who need a hybrid or light trail pedal which can accommodate both clip and flat shoes. Ride to work in your regular shoes, and then flip the pedal over to clip in for higher speed rides!
• A premium, dual-duty clipless MTB / commute / tour pedal
• Barrel silver or ED black finish
• Aluminium body with Cr-Mo axle, sealed cartridge bearing / DU bushing system and molded traction bars
• Adjustable spring tension
• Includes SPD compatible cleats
• 9/16” fitting only
• Weight: 322 g
With so many great pedal options coming out this year, it’s never been easier to start clipping in, or to upgrade your current pedals to something stronger, lighter, and with more control. We hope this pedal update has been useful, and look forward to seeing you out on the road or trail!
Remember, any of these products can be found through your local Live to Play Sports Dealer! Happy riding!
