The Atlas flat pedals from Race Face have been a firm favourite for years. The cult pedal is getting an extensive update for 2022 and is set to be grippier, more stable and easier to maintain.

Canada's Northshore: Not only the Cradle of freeride mountain bikingbut also the headquarters of the former Rocky Mountain subsidiary Race Face. The Atlas flat pedals are a firm favourite among gravity pedals and have been given an extensive update. The Canadians are also so confident in their platform pedals that the 2022 model comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Even more durable: Extra large bearings

With a new axle design and large, sealed bearings, the Canadians want to make their pedals more stable and eliminate even the smallest amount of play. But no matter how big the bearings are, they gradually wear out due to dust, mud and stress. No special tools are required to open the pedal and service the axle and bearings on the new pedals. Practical. The concave platform has grown to 110x108 millimetres for a larger standing surface. The ten height-adjustable pins on each side are also longer than on the predecessor, allowing them to dig into the sole of the shoe even more aggressively.
