Crankbrothers Egg Beater Pedals
Best clipless pedals for mountain bikers needing reliable mud shedding.
The four-sided entry design makes clipping in instinctual, even in the messiest trail conditions where other systems clog up. While the minimalist, cage-free build requires a stiffer shoe sole for optimal power transfer, the trade-off is an incredibly lightweight, mud-shedding setup that feels nearly invisible underfoot.
