Sneak Peek!

andynycfreeride · 03-05-2008, 01:37 AM

Here's a couple of shots of the new '08 Race-Lites, they have been totally redesigned to be a true light weight platform pedal. They are 4mm smaller in profile and approximately 2.5 mm smaller in width and height. They'll also have 2 smaller bearings on the outside and a Super Oilite bearing closest to the crank for durability. The axle shares the same austempering process and because of the smaller platform it's 5mm shorter in length. The biggest change is most definitely the weight, they come in at 520 grams for the set. Although not the lightest out there they have a lifetime warranty against breakage on the axle and they're completely rebuild-able.
MSRP: $113.00 US
Color options will be as follows: Green, Black, Gold, Blue, Grey

Is it just the pic or do they just concave on one side, or not at all?

They are flat but have a concave pocket, and the center pins are set lower.

A parallelogram shape would have been nice, but they definitely look pretty sick

But other than that they look sick

i guess the concave pocket is the machined inner part on the top of the pedal?
They look great, but personally I prefer a parallelogram shape as well so they do not get caught on rocks as easily. As long as there is some concave shape, that's a must.
