Virtual concavity refers to the specific pin layout where the pins are taller at the front and back of the pedal and shorter in the center. This creates a natural pocket for your foot to settle into, which helps lock your shoe in place without the pedal body itself needing to be deeply scooped.

Yes, the pins are fully replaceable. The pedal comes with a mix of 12 steel and 8 alloy pins per pedal, allowing you to customize the grip or swap out damaged pins as needed.

This hybrid system is designed for longevity and smooth rotation. While industrial bearings handle the load, the IGUS bushings provide excellent durability against the elements, meaning you will need to perform service less frequently than with standard bearing-only setups.

The 100mm x 105mm platform offers a versatile footprint that works well for most riders. If you have very large feet—typically US size 12 or above—you might find you want a slightly wider platform, but for the average rider, this size strikes a great balance between stability and clearance.

Shot-peening is a process that compresses the surface of the alloy, which significantly increases its fatigue life and resistance to rock strikes. It is much more resilient than a standard painted or polished finish, helping the pedals maintain their look even after heavy trail use.
