The Best Bike Pedals
If you want to enhance your riding experience, you need quality bike pedals. The best bike pedals are tailored to your riding style, offering better power transfer, comfort, and control.
For over a decade, we've tested around 100 pairs of pedals for road, mountain, gravel, commuter, and plain old bikes. Our expert test team includes industry veterans, racers, coaches, and bike shop owners who are passionate about all forms of cycling. Together, they've spent hundreds of hours commuting, racing, riding gravel, road, and ribbons of single track across the country, putting each pair of pedals through our rigorous hands-on field testing and analysis.
For mountain bikers, our top pedal recommendation is the HT Components T2. These have a wide, stable platform and clip in easily.
For a great everyday pedal, look to the CXWXC CX-930 Pedals. They're not the grippiest we tested, but they're affordable and have reflectors, and they can accommodate many types of shoes. Read on for more of our picks across biking disciplines.
