Editor's Notes
December 07, 2018:
Even within the subcategory of "mountain biking," there are many different styles of riding. Recognizing this, we put together a comprehensive selection of pedals appropriate for a range of activities, from casual trail riding and cross country to all mountain and cyclocross. Options like the HT PA03As and DMR Vaults are great for those who like the freedom of a platform style pedal, while models like the Diamondback Axis Trails are ideal for those who prefer the security of clipless ones. Hybrid options like the Crank Brothers Candys and Shimano PD-M530s offer the best of both worlds.
