It was 1996 when the DMR’s original V pedal came out, initially based on an open mould design from Wellgo, but a few years later, the V12 as we know it was born, a modern, smoother shape, double concave, with replaceable pins and reliable bearings.
The new V12 [Mg] (magnesium) runs on fully sealed bearings and a cro-mo axle. All pins on the pedal are replaceable and tunable to your preferred grip. DMR say that they’re 10% larger, 35% lower, and 20% lighter than previous incarnations.
“Evolution of a classic. I’m sure we will see this great re-design as a rider’s favorite for another 10 years.”
Pinkbike’s Take:
The third evolution of this classic doesn’t disappoint. Underfoot it retains that well-known feeling with a good concave, just a little bigger than the older version. Grip levels aren’t too far from the more extreme Vault, with noticeably more clearance due to the smaller body and less pronounced pins on pedally stuff…
