Crank Brothers Mallet DH/Race pedals

CrankBrothers Mallet DH/Race pedals

IF RED WAS never your cup of tea you're in luck, because you can now get CrankBrothers' increasingly popular Mallet DH pedals in black too.

Initially designed with downhill racers in mind, the large platform, eight grippy pins per side and mud shedding capabilities have made them popular with enduro racers and trail riders too. Another reason for their success is the six degrees of float built into the cleats, which means you're less rigidly locked into the pedal than with Shimano's SPD design - something that appeals to many former flat pedal riders.

PRICE 187$

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
