Burgtec Penthouse MK4 pedals


SO GOOD
The 6mm tall pins are slim enough to dig into just about any shoe with a ferocious bite. Couple that with the slightly concave platform, and the Penthouse flats are easily some of the grippiest pedals on test. Each of the eight pins per side threads in from the rear, which makes adding/removing them easier. Build quality is great and they’re solid enough to shrug off the odd rock or root strike with relative ease.

NO GOOD
Foot positioning takes some time to get used to because the platform sits so close to the crank arm. At 449g, they’re the heaviest on test.

PRICE 140$

Crank Brothers Mallet 3 pedals

Gravity maniacs everywhere swear by the Mallet, and it’s easy to see why. The large platform affords ample support to the foot whether clipped in or not, and adjustable pins allow you to tailor the grip to your preference. We chose to run the pins pretty far in to prevent them getting in the way when clipping in.

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
