Pedals

- Fear of switching to clipless pedals is widespread, but it prevents many people from enjoying cycling more and cycling more efficiently.
- Clipless pedals improve power transfer, a smooth pedalling action and control, and give many people a greater sense of security whilst cycling.
- Any uncertainty can be overcome by practising on a quiet stretch of road; you might take a tumble or two at first, but these will soon become nothing more than a funny story.

- A lack of practice, unclipping too late and clipping in too early often lead to falling over and a lack of confidence when stopping and setting off.  
- Incorrectly adjusted cleats, high pedal resistance, poor pedalling technique and tense riding reduce comfort, efficiency and safety.  
- Well-fitting shoes, a smart choice of cleats with sufficient float, and targeted training ensure stability, comfort and greater enjoyment when riding with clipless pedals.

Beginner’s mistakes with clipless pedals: How to avoid them

PEDALS

- Shimano has redesigned the XT clipless pedal as the PD-M8220, focusing on control, durability and rider feedback for trail and enduro riding.
- An enlarged contact surface, a robust pedal body and sealed bearings are designed to offer greater stability, better power transfer and long maintenance intervals.
- The SPD system, featuring two-way entry, a platform and adjustable release tension, is aimed at safety-conscious, ambitious trail and enduro riders.

- In May, various MTB products are reduced, sometimes significantly compared to RRP, but often only available in limited sizes and quantities.  
- Offers include Reverse Escape Pro pedals, RockShox ZEB suspension fork, Rocky Mountain Instinct C70, lock, goggles and helmet.  
- The editorial team predominantly rates the parts as solid or well equipped; helmet and bike purchases remain dependent on size and fit.

- Since 2013, Wolf Tooth has grown from a basement project to a manufacturer with 3500 m² headquarters, over 60 employees and a broad component portfolio.  
- The brand develops practical, detail-focussed solutions "by bikers for bikers" and manufactures the majority of its products using CNC in Minnesota.  
- Wolf Tooth focuses on tight tolerances, repairability, long service life and local production, but struggles with high material costs and customs duties.

- Millenium 4.0 uses two Igus J3 plain bearings per pedal instead of ball bearings for low weight, low profile and easy maintenance.
- The aluminium pedal measures 115 x 105 mm, is 12-14 mm high, offers high ground clearance, nine sharp pins per side and strong grip.
- Weight (Pro: 375 g) and price (€ 119.95-149.95) are in the low range, and there is no long-term experience of durability yet.

- Saint PD-G8040 and Deore XT PD-M8240 offer extra wide, dual concave platforms with 10 pins per side for high grip and stability.  
- Robust, fully serviceable Shimano axles, forged aluminium, impact-resistant pins and a skid plate on the Saint are aimed at tough gravity use.  
- The disadvantages are the higher weight and the limited choice of colours, while some competitor pedals are lighter or come in a wider range of colours.

- With up to 133×114 mm, Stamp Evo offers significantly larger platforms, especially size L for shoe sizes 43.5-49, with very high grip thanks to 13 pins.
- The L platform may be too large for medium-sized feet (e.g. size 42), as the shoe no longer encloses the edges and the stance becomes unstable.
- Replaceable nylon bashguard protects the aluminium body, grease nipple facilitates maintenance, Crankbrothers grants a five-year guarantee on the pedal.

- Millenium 4.0 uses two Igus J3 plain bearings per pedal instead of ball bearings for a flat design, low weight and easy maintenance.  
- The concave aluminium platform (115 x 105 mm, 12-14 mm high) with 9 pins per side is designed to offer plenty of grip, a defined foot position and more ground clearance.  
- Pro version: 375 g, € 149.95 with milled finish; Standard: 405 g, € 119.95; both with hardened CrMo axle and identical bearing technology.

- Trainers are sufficient for your first gravel experience, but special gravel shoes and pedals are recommended for greater safety and efficiency.  
- The gravel shoes presented here cover different uses: Race, all-round, adventure and bad weather with various soles and fastenings.  
- The pedal models range from combi-flat/SPD to lightweight race pedals with variable contact surface, Q-factor adjustment and different price levels.

- Tatze DC Titan: 295 g lightweight SPD-compatible clipless pedal with titanium axle, large contact surface, triple ball bearing and easy-out system, price 159 euros.  
- Used for marathon, cross-country and gravel, approved for up to 90 kg; heavier riders should opt for the more robust DC steel axle version.  
- The editorial team praises the low weight, stable stand and reliable function, but recognises no clear advantage of the Easy-Out system over the Shimano standard.
