Crankbrothers Candy Pedals

The Candy pedals are versatile enough for a wide range of disciplines, including cyclocross, cross-country, trail, and all-mountain riding. Their design balances weight and durability, making them a solid choice if you frequently switch between different types of terrain.

The four-sided entry allows you to engage the cleat from any of the four sides of the pedal, which is a significant advantage when you need to clip in quickly on technical climbs or after a dismount. It is particularly effective in muddy conditions because the open design sheds debris rather than packing it in.

Yes, you can customize the release angle to either 15 or 20 degrees by swapping the orientation of the cleats. This allows you to choose between a quicker release or a more secure connection, depending on your personal preference and riding style.

These pedals feature a robust forged chromoly steel spindle paired with a durable composite body, designed to withstand significant impact and trail abuse. They are built for longevity and come with a 5-year warranty to back that up.

The pedals utilize a combination of Igus LL-glide bushings and Enduro cartridge bearings, which are designed for smooth operation and high resistance to wear. While they are built to be low-maintenance, periodic cleaning and re-greasing will help ensure they continue to spin smoothly over the long term.
