SPIKE FLAT PEDAL achieves a 12mm thinness without compromising a closed axle design or ultimate strength, by utilizing a cold forged pedal body and scandium enriched, hollow taper steel axle, paired with thin walled IGUS outboard bushings, and sealed full compliment inboard industrial bearings. The results are improved pedaling and cornering clearance, lowered center of gravity, reduced "pedal flip" effect, and improved pedaling efficiency. Chamfered leading edges also improve the pedals ability to reduce impact forces.
