The 8 Degree Pedal is the world's first flat floating pedal, built to move naturally with the rider and establishing a category that has never existed before. This multi-patented design brings controlled pedal float to flat pedals, allowing the foot, ankle, and knee to align naturally through every pedal stroke for a ride that feels balanced, intuitive, and genuinely effortless.

Your foot naturally rotates as you pedal. You can't stop it. When that movement is restricted by a fixed flat pedal, it does not disappear. Instead, the foot often tries to rotate or gradually crawl off the pedal during the pedal stroke. That constant shifting tears up shoe soles, forces riders to repeatedly reposition their feet, and introduces stress that can contribute to knee, ankle, and foot irritation while quietly robbing power transfer with every revolution.

Clipless pedals addressed this years ago with pivoting float, allowing the foot to rotate naturally while staying connected. Traditional flat pedals, however, have largely relied on aggressive pins, concave shapes, and platform grip to hold the foot in place, often forcing the rider to work against the natural biomechanics of pedaling. The 8 Degree Pedal takes a different approach entirely.

Pedal float has long been recognized in cycling for its role in improving comfort, supporting more efficient power transfer, and reducing stress on the joints. The 8 Degree Pedal brings those same biomechanical benefits to a flat pedal platform, giving the foot room to move naturally under load rather than locking it into a position it was never meant to hold.

At the center of the design is a patented self-centering, spring-loaded mechanism. The pedal moves with the rider and returns to center automatically, delivering controlled rotational float that maintains stability without allowing excessive movement. Riders get a connected, confident feel underfoot without the resistance or “stuck foot” sensation that makes traditional flat pedals work against the body rather than with it.

Durability was built into the design from the start, not added as an afterthought. The 8 Degree Pedal has been put through extensive real-world riding by experienced cyclists alongside rigorous laboratory testing under weighted load, including continuous operation at 60 RPM with 60 back-and-forth 8-degree cycles per minute across 2,020,000 total cycles. It meets and exceeds International Safety Standards (ISO 4210-8), making it a trusted choice for any rider, on any terrain.

8 Degree Pedal Benefits

The 8 Degree Pedal works with the rider's natural movement rather than against it. The self-centering float reduces rotational resistance, cuts down on foot repositioning, and addresses the discomfort that comes from forcing the foot into a fixed position it naturally wants to leave.

• More natural foot movement
• Reduced foot repositioning
• Less shoe sole wear from friction
• Reduced joint stress
• Improved power transfer
• Secure flat pedal feel

Riders across every discipline notice less time managing foot placement and more confidence underfoot. Smoother hip and knee rotation through corners, reduced shoe wear, and better biomechanical alignment all follow from simply letting the foot do what it naturally does.

The 8 Degree Pedal brings ergonomic design, proven float mechanics, and durable construction to every rider and every ride. Let the pedal move the way your body naturally moves.

Built on Proven Refinement

Every current production model carries refinements shaped by real-world testing and feedback from experienced riders, while staying true to the patented biomechanical platform at the core of the design. The 8 Degree Pedal is the next step in flat pedal design, built for riders at every level who want performance, stability, and natural motion working in their favor.
