Race Face Aeffect Bike Pedal

I recently upgraded to these lightweight aluminum peg blue bike pedals, and they have exceeded my expectations. The pedals are incredibly sturdy yet light, reducing the overall weight of my bike and enhancing my riding experience.The vibrant blue color adds a stylish touch to my bike, and the grip is excellent, providing a secure and stable footing even on rough terrain. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels premium and durable.Overall, these pedals are a fantastic upgrade for any cyclist looking for a blend of performance, style, and durability. Highly recommended!

First - there are a few reviews about the traction pins slicing up calves. The traction pins can be removed from some areas that one may be concerned about hitting their calf. Or the traction pins can be "lowered".Next - Installation was super easy to install and uses an Allen wrench vs. a "bike" wrench - first time I've seen this - but it's been awhile since I've had to do a pedal replacement. The look really nice on the Liv MTB I have.Finally - Riding - my shoes absolutely DO NOT SLIP in these - I can almost pull up if I point toes down in the up swing. I like it - it feels more secure than the standard plastic pedals - and while I am comfortable clipping in on a road bike, I don't want to do that with MTB (I'm not at that level!)Overall - solid pedals and highly recommend. If you're concerned about "bite" - adjust or remove the traction pins, just know the result is less traction.

So far I love these pedals. One season in with zero problems, pins are still very sharp, will update if my opinion changes. Little to compare them to, but they are extremely grippy and I almost never lose grip wearing 'barefoot running' style merrell shoes (thin flat sole etc). Visually appealing in black.I recommend being EXTRA careful around these, especially right after installation. I have several small scars on knee/shin/calf, some I barely even felt and bled for days.EDIT: I highly recommend using five ten freeriders or similar 'skate' shoes on these. They work well with regular sneakers but using flat-soled purpose built shoes has resulted in fewer slips and close calls due to excellent grip. Pedals still smooth after many scrapes and strikes.

I recently purchased the Race Face Aeffect Pedals in Blue. I was previously using SPD pedals. Felt like I didn't have enough control in the corners ( counter balancing with one leg out ) . After riding SPD pedals for about a year on the trails, the transition for me was smooth as I could ask. The grip on these pedals is outstanding, even on rocky downhill trails and jumping. I never popped off the pedals unintentionally but had the freedom to counter balance easily with my inside leg. I chose to wear shin guards for awhile with these ( as I am apposed to getting puncture holes in my shins) but have not needed them as these pedals are easy to maintain footing with the DC flat bottom skate shoes I pair the with. The construction in solid , bearings are smooth and from what I understand rebuildable with A $20 kit when needed.I already beat them up a bit from rock strikes and they appear to be holding up just fine. Plus they were about $30 less expensive on Amazon than the few local shops and REI store that carries them here.

I've only used them for a dozen rides so far. They're already a little scratched from a few pedal strikes, but so far it's only a minor cosmetic issue.I got these pedals because I'm still a relatively inexperience mountain biker and I was getting tired of worrying about getting out of the clipless pedals I had been using. First thing these new 'flat' pedals allowed me learn is that grippy shoes and pedal pins (or being clipped in for that matter) does not replace proper pedaling technique. Took me a few rides to figure out how to avoid pedal roll (where you lift your foot faster than the pedal rises and when you plant your foot back down, you instead turn the pedal 180 degrees with your heel).There are cheaper pedals and I'm sure they would've helped me just as well, but I got these because of the positive reviews from professional reviewers, and also because they're wider than my feet, and thin profile.I did have a pair of cheap plastic/composite pedals (with plastic pins) but my shoes were constantly slipping off them.I recently rode in the rain and was happy to discover that I had no problems keeping my feet on these pedals. In addition, I didn't have a problem with the mud as there was no place for it to cake onto.

Just made the transition from clipless pedals to flat pedals on my mountain bike. These pedals do a great job, and it is so nice being able to ‘dab’ my foot down when needed. After just a couple of rides, I would definitely recommend these pedals.

Work well and great grip. I couldn’t ask for a nicer set of peddles.

Although I haven't yet installed these RACEFACE AEFFECT pedals (bike is on order), I am super impressed by the look and feel and overall quality. I immediately noticed the light weight which is comparable to most of the plastic/nylon pedals out there. The black pins finish the overall aesthetic very nicely. The Shimano GR500 aluminum pedals (heavier than the AEFFECT) I have on my other bike have the usual unfinished/silver pins which just doesn't look as nice on a black pedal. Awesome Amazon price ($65) for these.
