Pedals & Cleats

WHAT PEDALS TO CHOOSE FOR YOUR BIKE?
The pedals on your bike are the final component through which you transfer the power from your legs to the bike. They are responsible for doing so efficiently to reduce the risk of injuries and falls.

You need to take into account the cycling discipline you practise, and if necessary, determine what type of cleats you will use.

At Eltin, you can buy bike pedals online.

WHAT TYPES OF PEDALS ARE THERE?

Depending on the style of cycling you practise, you will choose different types of pedals:

▶︎ Clipless Pedals:
These pedals are designed to attach to your shoes via cleats, allowing for more efficient pedalling. Every movement you make with your foot is directly transferred to the crankset, enabling you to pedal safely, without worrying about your foot slipping.

The cleat attachment mechanism varies by discipline, so you must know which one you need and ensure compatibility.

For example, at Eltin, we offer road bike clipless pedals and MTB clipless pedals. If you're interested, we have automatic pedals compatible with Look Keo 2 or automatic pedals compatible with SPD MTB.

▶︎ Flat Pedals:
Flat pedals are ideal for your urban bike, providing you with great visibility thanks to the reflectors, ensuring safety both day and night.

▶︎ Platform Pedals:
These pedals are perfect for your BMX and E-Bike, as they provide a large surface area for your feet. They are made from various materials and feature small pins or a textured surface to prevent your feet from slipping.

There are also folding pedals, for those who use their bike for urban commuting or use folding bikes.

WHAT TYPES OF CLEATS ARE THERE FOR BIKES?

You must choose between MTB cleats and road cleats. If you use road bikes, you’ll be interested in cleats compatible with the Look Keo 2 system, and if you’re into MTB, you’ll want cleats compatible with SPD.
