Chromag Pilot BA

Yes, the Chromag Pilot BA uses a standard SPD-compatible interface, so they will work with any Shimano SPD or compatible mountain bike cleat system.

The Pilot BA provides a larger, more stable platform than a standard race-style clipless pedal. Because of the 110mm body and five-point pin system, you get the security of being clipped in with the supportive, planted feel of a flat pedal, which is particularly helpful for technical descents.

While the pedal is designed for use with cleats, the 110mm body and five-point pin system offer enough surface area and grip to pedal short distances or navigate tricky sections unclipped if necessary. However, for optimal performance and safety, they are intended to be used with SPD-compatible shoes.

The Pilot BA is built with a double-sealed bearing system, including an inner bushing and outer cartridge bearing, designed to keep dirt and debris out. While they are quite durable, a standard annual service to clean and re-grease the internals will keep them spinning smoothly for years.

The five-point pin system is designed to provide consistent grip across the pedal body. While they are robust, they are replaceable if they become damaged or worn down over time.
