RaceFace Chester Mountain Bike Pedal

Great pair of flat pedals, very good grip!

These are great. Don't be scared!

I bought my first expensive ($3k+) new bike and didnt want the $4 pedals they put on them at the shop. The bike shop showed me a few of their pedals but most were $150 or more. I figured I'm buying an expensive bike, I need to cut cost somewhere. I looked on Amazon and found these Race Face pedals. I was worried they'd feel cheap when I got them but to my surprise they are excellent pedals. I've ridden demo bikes with metal pedals similar to these but I think I actually prefer these Race Face composite pedals over super expensive metal pedals. I stay firmly planted on my bike even on rough trails, they seem to be pretty light weight and have survived several pedal strikes on rocks and roots. I'm now looking at a second pair for my new road/fitness bike. I ordered the black pedals but I love the color options for matching them to your bike's color scheme. I think I'll go blue for the road bike. Pick these up!

Color is sharp (blue), failproof grip on my mountain bike shoes. The pedal is made of a super durable material that absorbs pedal strikes much better than metal flat pedals and doesn't show scratches like a finished metal pedal would. Price was reasonable for a quality pedal. No issues after a few months use.

I gravel ride in these, work very well, plus I like the color, they’re stable just the right size thread, and quality is great.

I started on flats, then went clipless, and have a few options depending on my bike, mood, and ride. Many folks provided positive reviews based on the grip, and I concur. With the right pedal stroke, one feels locked in in smooth to moderate terrain. I cannot emphasize this aspect enough, and perhaps any quality platform with pins would provide an equal feel, but I could feel the grip on the up stroke with very light pressure. I concentrated on the spin in several situations and could always feel the grip. Note - I am not hucking off drops any longer so I cannot comment on how they perform in really technical terrain. These were tested on an older MTB and cyclocross bike on local CO trails, surburban routes but nothing really technical. I did have a favorable opinion on some easy mtb trails when teaching my son to mtb though. If I was still racing actively, I am sure clipless would remain, but I can swap them out for my SPDs if/when needed if the need arises.

Love these pedals they grip well to my shoes. Super durable and light.

Trail riding with these has really been great. Im a bigger guy and have put a few hundred miles on them, they’ve held up great! Even with a few pedal strikes, 0 failing points for me

Light grippy pedal. And it matches the colour scheme on the Whyte 801. What’s not to like.

Recomended

Very happy with purchase description was spot on

Purchased to add to commuter bike, the increased surface area pins make the bike a lot easier to ride than with the stock pedals. Really easy to install and a reasonable price.

Good enough if you are coming from basic OEM pedals. Found them to have less grip and surface area than my old Stamp 1’s however.
