Crankbrothers Double Shot

Yes, the flat side of the pedal is designed specifically for casual footwear. It features molded pins and diamond plate pads to provide reliable grip and traction, so you don't need cycling shoes for short trips or commutes.

The clipless side is compatible with Crank Brothers cleats. You will need to install these cleats on any cycling shoe that supports a two-bolt mountain bike cleat pattern.

The pedals offer a 15-degree or 20-degree release angle, depending on how you mount the cleats. This provides a secure connection for efficient pedaling while still allowing for a predictable, easy exit when you need to put a foot down.

While they are built with a rugged A380 aluminum body and a forged chromoly steel spindle, they are primarily designed for commuting and recreational riding. They will handle light trail use well, but they aren't intended for aggressive downhill or enduro riding.

The Double Shot 1 uses a double seal system to keep out debris and moisture, which helps extend the life of the internal Igus and Enduro bearings. While they are built to be low-maintenance, it is good practice to inspect them occasionally and ensure the seals remain intact.
