Leatt has opted for a clean, functional design language for its new flat pedal. The large platform with a concave design is intended to offer a generous footprint and plenty of control, especially in technical terrain or when riding aggressively. Two platform sizes are available - Narrow and Wide - which takes into account individual riding preferences and different shoe sizes. Striking: the low overall height and the CNC-machined magnesium housing with ceramic coating.

This CeraMAG surface is said to be particularly resistant to abrasion, stone chipping and corrosion - a plus point for riders who frequently use their equipment in muddy or rocky conditions. The bolted pins can be replaced when worn, and the inner workings are equipped with several high-quality bearings and additional sealing. A clear indication that Leatt is focussing on a long service life and low-maintenance performance.

The comparatively short pins (3.5 mm) have a real advantage in the heat of the moment: the foot quickly finds its way back into the optimum position. No long searches, no getting stuck, no fiddling with protruding pins - just set down and ride on. The generous platform of the Wide version provides plenty of room to manoeuvre. Especially in relaxed touring mode or when doing tricks - whether dirt jump or freeride - the pedal scores points for the fact that you don't feel like you're bolted down, but can easily reposition yourself if necessary.
The pedals also deliver on hard landings: the large contact surface and additional struts distribute the impact energy well - this relieves the joints and provides a lot of comfort. However, when the going gets really tough, a weakness becomes apparent: the short pins offer too little bite. On really rough terrain, they don't dig deep enough into the rubber - there's simply not enough grip to keep your foot stable on the pedal, even on rough, fast sections. Finally, a big compliment: at just 338 grams, the Leatt pedal is one of the lightest models we've tested so far, even in the large Wide version - without compromising on stability or platform size. Whether the weight advantage (see table) justifies the significant surcharge remains a matter of opinion. For test editor Max Fuchs, the matter is clear: from his point of view, it's not worth the weight penalty - especially not for a pedal.

Conclusion from Max Fuchs, BIKE test editor
With the CeraMAG AllMtn 8.0 Flat, Leatt brings a technically sophisticated flat pedal to the high-end segment. The combination of a lightweight magnesium platform, robust ceramic coating, high-quality bearings and two size variants is clear to see: This is not just another flat pedal, but has been developed specifically to meet the needs of demanding mountain bikers. On paper, it certainly makes a very mature impression. On the trail, the generous platform is impressive - full, stable and trustworthy. However, the pins lack the final bite: too tame to really claw into the sole. That's fine for touring and relaxed trail laps. But if you like it rough and are regularly out and about on rough terrain, you'd be better off with one of the more aggressive models.
