CrankBrothers Stamp pedals


HERE’S AN INTERESTING concept from CrankBrothers – their new flat pedals are available in two sizes, and which one you should go for depends on how big your shoes are.

The larger Stamps measure 114x111mm and are aimed at riders with at least UK size 9.5 feet, while the scaled down versions are 100x100mm and should fit the bill if you wear smaller footwear. Our samples weigh 345g and 373g, respectively. CrankBros say that selecting the right size pedals for your feet will maximise grip and support, while minimising the risk of rock strikes. Both pedals are 11mm deep and slightly concave, with 10 removable pins per side. Past durability issues have been addressed with Igus bearings and a double seal on the axle.

Price 175$ (large or small)

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.

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.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
