![]() We found they’re more controlled in terms of ricochet if you ground them when pedaling. The pedals are also serviceable with DMR offering bearing kits and replaceable pin sets.įor a more in-depth guide, read our full review of the DMR V11 pedals.ĭMR has been in the flat pedal business for more than two decades and remains the choice for those who want to experience a surge of confidence when attempting a new section of technical singletrack riding. In our tests, we found the plastic platform is a little slippier in the wet, however, the flexible construction can improve connection and reduce foot tiredness on relentlessly battering runs. The best thing we can say about the V11s is that most riders will be hard-pressed to tell apart from the metal rivals. The foot-centering shape is adorned with 11 replaceable/adjustable steel pins on each side, with a collection of longer ‘Moto’ pins front and rear for maximum grip. The only difference is pedal thickness, with the Nylon construction adding an extra 3mm of thickness to enhance the strength. The 105mm x 105mm platform of the V11 is the same as DMR's popular alloy Vault (see below) as well as the signature DMR concave profile to enhance platform grip. While our beautiful legs may have been disfigured, the iodized graphics (available in nine different colors) on the pedals still look great and there's no sign that the finish will wear away yet either.įor more, see our full Race Face Atlas pedal review. On the flip side, the narrow pins are razor sharp and our scarred calves are proof of their vicious nature. ![]() We've been riding with these pedals for over six months now and are seriously impressed with the support they give and amount of grip on offer. The 10 pins on each pedal face are narrower (2mm) and longer (6mm) than you'll find on most rival pedals (the length can be shortened by adding the included washers), while the chamfered pedal bodies have the faintest whiff of concave. The only difference in platform is that the front and rear of the Atlas' cage are slightly shorter to accommodate its far more rounded corners. While the original Atlas platform was deemed a touch small by some riders, the 2022 version is virtually the same size as DMR's massively popular Vault pedal. ![]() The new incarnation has a wider platform and a thinner body, an easier to service bearing and comes with a lifetime warranty. Race Face has relaunched its Atlas pedal which improves on the original in every department.
