Chester Mountain Bike Pedal

Color is sharp (blue), failproof grip on my mountain bike shoes. The pedal is made of a super durable material that absorbs pedal strikes much better than metal flat pedals and doesn't show scratches like a finished metal pedal would. Price was reasonable for a quality pedal. No issues after a few months use.

I bought my first expensive ($3k+) new bike and didnt want the $4 pedals they put on them at the shop. The bike shop showed me a few of their pedals but most were $150 or more. I figured I'm buying an expensive bike, I need to cut cost somewhere. I looked on Amazon and found these Race Face pedals. I was worried they'd feel cheap when I got them but to my surprise they are excellent pedals. I've ridden demo bikes with metal pedals similar to these but I think I actually prefer these Race Face composite pedals over super expensive metal pedals. I stay firmly planted on my bike even on rough trails, they seem to be pretty light weight and have survived several pedal strikes on rocks and roots. I'm now looking at a second pair for my new road/fitness bike. I ordered the black pedals but I love the color options for matching them to your bike's color scheme. I think I'll go blue for the road bike. Pick these up!

Great pair of flat pedals, very good grip!

These are great. Don't be scared!

I used to ride my bicycle on the dirt trails around my neighborhood every weekend when I was younger, but now I mostly ride on the paved paths to stay active. The old plastic parts on my bicycle were getting slick and my boots would slip off when the ground got wet. I put these new platforms on the crank arms last Saturday and took a long ride. The little metal points on the surface grip the bottom of my shoes very well so my feet stay in place when I push down hard. The wide shape gives my whole foot a solid base which helps because my arches get sore on long trips. They spin very smooth when I pedal and they do not make any clicking noises. The plastic material feels tough enough to handle hits from loose rocks or gravel on the path. It took me about twenty minutes to twist them into the threads with a regular wrench. My feet feel much safer now when I ride fast down the hills.

I just bought a second set of Chester Race Face pedals after loving the first set so much. (For a second bike...not to like...have one set on the bike and one set in the wash or something_ I like platforms over clipless but the Race Face gives you the best of both worlds. They hold your shoes like glue when you have pressure on them. You WILL NOT slip off of them. Period. Softer rubber soles work better than hard rubber. (That newer foam sole stuff is too soft, the pins in the Chester pedals will chew them up) I don't care if it's rainy, muddy, icy, or what. Your foot will not slip off of these. But you can easily lift your foot up without resistance when you need to get off the pedals fast. They won't penetrate your shoes and hold them. Your foot is free to move when you want it but is locked to the pedal when you don't. They spin nicely with little resistance. They take a hit against rocks and curbs well. And when you do scrape one it doesn't show because they are colored plastic so the abrasion is the same color as the pedal surface. I've clobbered the pins into curbs and they get scraped up, but don't break off. I'm very very happy with both sets of these I have. Oh, and you do learn VERY QUICKLY to be careful with your shins and not let them spin around and smack you.

I gravel ride in these, work very well, plus I like the color, they’re stable just the right size thread, and quality is great.

Love these pedals they grip well to my shoes. Super durable and light.

Light grippy pedal. And it matches the colour scheme on the Whyte 801. What’s not to like.

Recomended

Very happy with purchase description was spot on

Purchased to add to commuter bike, the increased surface area pins make the bike a lot easier to ride than with the stock pedals. Really easy to install and a reasonable price.

Good enough if you are coming from basic OEM pedals. Found them to have less grip and surface area than my old Stamp 1’s however.
