The UK-designed Burgtec Penthouse Flats MK5 pedals have evolved into their fifth generation. Do the improvements stack up in the real world?
Pedals
Deity TMAC flat pedal review
Red Bull Rampage rider Tyler McCaul’s Deity TMAC pedals are on the bigger side of the spectrum. Well-positioned sharp pins keep shoes totally locked down.
DMR Midi Vault flat pedal review
DMR Midi Vault cut down version of award-winning DMR Vault, in that it has a 10% smaller platform.16g lighter and offers a bit more cornering clearance.
Look X-Track Race Carbon pedal review
Look X-Track Race Carbon is designed with a bit of extra body width compared to others in its category, providing it with a really positive shoe engagement.
Kona Wah Wah 2 Composite flat pedal review
The Kona Wah Wah 2 takes the original Wah Wah's a large platform, thin profile and grippy pins and brings them bang up to date for today's trail riding.
Look X-Track En-Rage Plus pedal review
For the latest Look X-Track range of pedals Look has adopted a ‘Can’t beat them, join them’ approach of Shimano-style mechanism.
Time MX6 clipless pedal review
The open design and twin bar system means the Time MX6 is a solid performer in muddy conditions; muck is simply squeezed out of the way when clipping in.
Exotic Thermoplastic pedal review
The Exotic Thermoplastic pedal is ludicrously cheap at just £23.44 including postage! They’re available in four bright colours, as well as black or white.
Shimano XT M8020 Trail pedal review
Barring some small cosmetic differences, the Shimano XT M8020 Trail pedal has changed very little since it was first introduced.
Shimano Saint M820 pedal review
Rather than going for the articulated, caged pedal like the old DX M647, the Shimano Saint M820 is a fixed position pedal in the same vein as the XT Trail.
HT PA03A flat pedal review
Most cheap plastic (sorry - glass-reinforced nylon) pedals feel like something you’re saving up to replace, but the snappily-titled HT PA03A is solid.
Chromag Contact flat pedal review
Designed with hardcore Canadian brand the Chromag Contact is Brandon Semenuk's very own pedal, universally acclaimed as the world’s most stylish mountain biker.
Nukeproof Horizon CS CrMo Trail pedal review
The Nukeproof Horizon CS CrMo Trail is aimed at XC and trail riders wanting a bit more support than you might get from a regular XC style SPD pedal.
Nukeproof Neutron EVO pedal review
The Nukeproof Neutron EVO shows that a budget plastic pedal can cut it with the metal big guns when it comes to on-trail performance.
Syntace Number Nine Titan flat pedal review
Eye-wateringly expensive it may be, but the NumberNine Titan is top quality.
Shimano DX M647 clipless pedals
More than 10 years old, but even up against far more modern competition it’s still a great caged clipless pedal.
Shimano XT Race PD-M8000 clipless pedals review
If experience is anything to go by you can guarantee it will last and last
Look S-Track clipless pedal review
The Look S-Track is a radical looking pedal, but does it really deliver?
Loaded Flat AMX Signature V2 pedal review
US firm produces a surprisingly UK-friendly flat pedal - £89.99
HT Components ME03 pedal review
A good investment for those with deep enough pockets - £119.99
