Shimano’s latest Saint-level SPD is one of the biggest and heaviest clipless pedals on test but that meaty cage is pretty invisible when your foot is on it. Whether it…

Crank Brothers Mallet E pedal review
The new Crank Brothers Mallet E features most of what we love about the burly Crank Brothers Mallet DH but in a slimmed-down package.
Nukeproof Horizon Pro DH flat pedal
The Nukeproof Horizon flat is the pedal of choice here amongst MBR staff. The platform isn’t the thinnest, but it’s dished out enough to keep shoes stable.
Burgtec MK4 Composite pedals review
Burgtec MK4 composite pedals' 16mm tall composite platform is a close approximation of the alloy version, with 1mm concave cut away in the centre.
Nukeproof Horizon CL CrMo DH pedal review
The Nukeproof Horizon CL CrMo DH is the larger of Nukeproof’s two clipless pedals (the smaller being the Nukeproof Horizon CS Trail).
Crank Brothers Mallet DH pedal review
Ignore the DH tag, the Crank Brothers Mallet DH is a great pedal for trail use. The platform is the large and concave, your foot wholly contacts the body.
Superstar Nano-x Flat pedals review
An incredible flat pedal — tons of grip and well balanced
Mavic Crossride SL clipless pedal review
The Crossride SL really did everything to a superb standard, it’s also lightweight and great value
Burgtec’s B-Rage Penthouse Flats are utterly bombproof, and even grippier than the originals, and great for big feet, but I think they’re overkill for most riders
Penthouse Flat pedals were the first product Burgtec ever made. Originally a massive chunk of alloy, designed to be pretty much unbreakable, over the years they became a lot thinner…
Canyon MTB Performance Flat pedal review
Like most bike manufacturers, Canyon offers a range of in-house components, including bars, stems, saddles, and this new addition, the Performance Flat Pedal. The difference here is Canyon isn’t just…
Nukeproof Horizon Pro Sam Hill Enduro pedal review
We’ve awarded Nukeproof’s Horizon Pro Downhill top marks several years on the bounce so this year we’re testing its slightly smaller sibling the Sam Hill Enduro. It uses a similar…
Shimano PD-ME700 pedals review
Having gone back to clipless pedals recently, I can honestly say that being attached to your bike lets you ride faster on rough tracks. It’s also more efficient, and it…
DMR Vault Mag pedals review
One of the stone-cold classic MTB flat pedals, DMR’s Vault has earned multiple glowing reviews from us over the years. Its success lies in a deeply-dished platform with a big…
Wolf Tooth Waveform pedals
By assumption, a flat pedal is just flat right? Not exactly. The best flat pedals have a slight amount of concavity machined into the platform, the idea being this keeps…
Hope F22 flat pedal review
It’s been a full decade since Hope launched its F20 flat pedal. Ample time, then, to iron out the problems with the old design, and come up with an improved…
Deity Deftrap pedal review
Most flat pedal manufacturers now have a more affordable nylon option in their range and the latest with a placky-platform is Deity.
Pembree D2A flat pedal review
The new Pembree D2A pedal is still machined from high-grade aerospace aluminium, but the 100mm x 110mm platform is now one-piece.
Carder TenFour flat pedal review
The UK pedal firm just sent us a brand-new Carder Ten4 flat pedal for our recent grouptest. How did it fare? Read on to find out.
E*Thirteen Base flat pedal review
E*Thirteen Base is a composite flat pedal fresh on the market. It’s 50g lighter and £90 less than the high-end alloy ‘Plus’ pedal it’s based on.
DMR Vault flat pedal review
The DMR Vault is one of the best selling flats around. Machined from an extruded piece of aluminium, the platform spins on a heat-treated steel axle.
