Crankbrothers Mallet Trail Pedals

Crankbrothers Mallet Trail MTB Pedals for Trail and Gravel

The Crankbrothers Mallet Trail are clip-in pedals designed to provide the right balance of stability, control, and freedom of movement for MTB trail and gravel riding. Their design fits perfectly between the Crankbrothers Candy and Mallet E pedals, offering an optimized platform for those seeking more support and security without sacrificing speed or ease of engagement.

Whether you choose a full-suspension or fully rigid bike, whether you ride in the high mountains or tackle trails through the woods, the Mallet Trail pedals are built to accompany you on every adventure.

The platform has been specifically designed for trail and gravel, while the long 57 mm spindle increases stability and offers more shoe clearance. The two adjustable pins per side also allow you to customize the grip and improve the interface between shoe and pedal.

Like other Crankbrothers pedals, the Mallet Trail uses the proven eggbeater system, featuring 4-sided entry and excellent mud shedding capabilities. The result is a reliable pedal even on the most technical trails and in the most demanding conditions.
