FAQ

Our revolutionary flat floating pedals are the first of their kind, providing natural biomechanical alignment of the foot, knee, and ankle. Using an innovative internal spring-loaded mechanism, the self-compensating float system automatically centers itself, reducing knee strain and improving pedaling efficiency. This design offers a more comfortable and efficient experience by maintaining proper alignment throughout your ride.

By maintaining natural alignment, it reduces strain on joints, minimizes discomfort and promotes a natural pedal stroke.

Our pedal lineup includes three flat models: the X8-2, a large platform with Super-Grip pins; the X8-3, a smaller platform with Super-Grip pins; and the X8-3R (Road & Trail), which shares the X8-3’s small platform but comes pre-configured with less aggressive grip pins and lighter springs. All models include interchangeable springs and pins for rider customization. A stationary bicycle pedal model is currently in development, though all our existing models are compatible with stationary bikes.

No, they work best with standard flat rubber sole cycling shoes

Yes, our pedals provide the same benefits to those with specialty, non-traditional bikes.

Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1-2 business days.

Our pedals are designed for all forms of cycling, including mountain, road, trail, gravel, downhill, and enduro.

They enable natural biomechanical foot rotation, reducing movement stress and minimizing the impact of rigid pedal stroke positions.

Regular cleaning and, for some models, lubrication. Refer to the manual for specifics.

Our pedals have been engineered and designed internally to be extremely durable and require minimal maintenance.

• Springs: Our springs are designed to endure a minimum of 1 million cycles; however, this is a conservative estimate.
• Spring Plungers: Testing has shown little to no wear after 1 million cycles.
• Sliding Puck: This puck is key to our design; it is made from one of the hardest and most anti-friction materials available. It has also shown little to no wear in 1 million cycle tests under heavy load. The puck slides back and forth between two thin, hard stainless plates without lubrication, as designed.
• Spherical Bearing: Our custom Teflon-coated bearing has exhibited little to no wear in 1 million cycle tests.
• Sleeve Axle Bearings: The pedals are equipped with high-quality, low-friction plastic sleeve bearings designed for longevity. These same bearings are found in many other top-quality pedals on the market.
• Seals: Our pedals feature four seals to help prevent dirt and moisture from entering the internal mechanism: one plate seal, two O-ring seals for the spring plungers, and one shaft seal. While these seals are extremely effective, it’s important to note that, depending on riding conditions and usage, more frequent maintenance may be advised.
