Cross-country riding and racing are defined by speed, efficiency, and climbing prowess. To excel, you need equipment that transfers every ounce of your effort into forward motion. Our XC pedals are engineered with this single-minded focus on performance. The Eggbeater is the epitome of minimalist design. Its iconic, 4-sided entry system is incredibly lightweight and offers unparalleled mud-shedding capabilities. This means you can clip in quickly and reliably in the sloppiest conditions, a critical advantage in a muddy cyclocross or XC race. Paired with a stiff-soled cycling shoe, the Eggbeater provides a direct and efficient connection for maximum power transfer. For riders who want the lightweight benefits of an XC pedal but desire a bit more support, the Candy is the perfect solution. It incorporates a small, integrated platform around the 4-sided entry mechanism. This platform provides a more stable base for your foot, which can improve comfort on longer rides and add confidence on technical descents without a significant weight penalty. It’s an ideal choice for marathon XC events and demanding trail conditions. Both pedal systems are built to be durable and simple, ensuring they perform reliably race after race. The open design not only sheds mud but also makes them easy to maintain. When you're looking for a competitive edge, our XC pedals provide the lightweight, efficient, and reliable interface you need to climb faster and ride harder.
