DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Since pedals are one of the primary contact points between rider and bike, SPANK Industries has applied special care to the fit and function of our pedals to find the perfect fit for every rider. Few people consider proper fit when it came to flats. However, grip, safety, and overall comfort and confidence are greatly increased with the right pedal model selection for each person’s specific foot size, and riding style.

Before you choose a pedal model from SPANK's range, take a moment to understand the design engineering of our pedals.

5 AXIS CNC

Whether forged Spike and Oozy Trail Pedals, extruded and sized Spoon pedals, or economic die cast Spoon DC pedals, SPANK uses only industry leading equipment. SPANK invested in a precision, pedal specific 5 axis CNC line, fixtures custom produced in Switzerland, and diamond tipped cutting bits from Germany’s leading automotive supplier.

CHAMFERED LEADING EDGES

SPANK’s iconic chamfered leading edges on all pedal models were a game changer in pedal design. Forward edges are angled to deflect impacts and glance off obstacles, reducing pedal strike accidents and crashes, and increase pedal clearance in high speed turns. 

LOW Q-FACTOR

Q-Factor (the distance between your feet while riding), should be kept as low as possible for efficiency, maneuverability and clearance. Where most pedals unnecessarily add to the Q-Factor with a wrench interface between the pedal and crank, SPANK pedals mount from the backside of the crank, placing them as close as possible to the cranks.

LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY

While pedal thinness is an important factor for pedaling clearance, SPANK pedals also prioritize keeping the rider’s foot as close as possible to the pedal axle, where other pedals are often thickest in this zone. This decreases the need to maintain balance over the pedal axle, improving grip and pedaling efficiency, and reducing dangerous pedal flip.

FORGED CHROMOLY AXLES

From Spoon 90’s for smaller riders, to Spike Flats for heavy hitters, SPANK designs and produces custom pedal axles for all our pedals, from cold forged Chromoly steel, providing the ultimate in strength and safety, and lowest weight.

CRANK BOOT COMPATIBILITY

Q-Factor (the distance between your feet while riding), should be kept as low as possible for efficiency, maneuverability and clearance. Where most pedals unnecessarily add to the Q-Factor with a wrench interface between the pedal and crank, SPANK pedals mount from the backside of the crank, placing them as close as possible to the cranks.

IGUS SMART PLASTIC BUSHINGS

SPANK pedals were the first to utilize custom Smart Plastic pedal bushings from the top producer, IGUS. Today, long lasting, self-lubricating IGUS bushings are more common in high end frames and pedals, due to their superiority to traditional DU bushings. IGUS bushings feature in all SPANK pedals from Spoon DC to Oozy Trail. 

SEALS AND INDUSTRIAL BEARINGS

SPANK uses only pedal specific, custom, Industrial Grade bearings in all our pedals. Bearings are protected from moisture and contamination by axle seals on both inboard and outboard ends. Ingenious Friction Seals also help to reduce pedal free-spin, while ensuring the longevity of bearings and pedal function.

TRACTION PINS

Spike, Oozy, and Spoon Pedals are pre-assembled with steel, full length 9mm, rear-load traction pins at the outer edges, which maximize grip, and allow exposed pins to be replaced if deformed from impacts. The tips of each pin are machined, to prevent thread damage. 

Spoon DC Pedals use shorter 7mm steel traction pins, making them safer for less experienced riders, and allowing more freedom of foot movement for disciplines such as pumptrack and dirtjump.

OOZY REBOOT

Full anodized new colour range and the new crank boot compatible Reboot axle.

FAVORED CHOICE FOR TRAIL AND ENDURO

SPANK OOZY REBOOT

SHOP OOZY PEDALS

Spike and Oozy Trail Pedals have a large asymmetric polygonal platform, anatomically designed to offer maximum support and traction with the slimmest pedal body possible, at just 12mm thin. 

They feature 100 x 100mm of actual contact surface on each side, which is perfect for most adults. These pedals have been designed for high level, aggressive riding, whether DH/FR, or Trail/Enduro, maximizing pedal clearance both when pedaling and cornering.

ALLOY VS COMPOSITE

SPOON DC

At SPANK, we choose alloy over composites, always! Alloy is stronger, recyclable and more  environmentally sustainable than plastic composite production.

At the price range of a composite pedal, you get a SPANK INDUSTRIES alloy technology pedal with robust axle, bearings & bushings, and the option to upgrade from 7mm to 10mm pins.

ALLOY PEDALS AT THE PRICE OF COMPOSITE!
