Flat-Pedals sind breite Plattformpedale mit Pins – ganz ohne Klickmechanismus. Hier erfährst Du, wie Flat-Pedals aufgebaut sind, für wen sie sich eignen, worauf Du beim Kauf achten solltest und wie sie im Vergleich zu Klickpedalen abschneiden.
Flat pedals are flat bicycle pedals without a clipless mechanism, offering the rider a large, flat contact surface. The shoe rests freely on the pedal, allowing for quick transitions between mounting and dismounting.

often with replaceable pins (small screw pins) for more grip

non-slip surface, even when wet and muddy
-
Compatible with all types of shoes, especially with special flat pedal shoes with grippy rubber soles.

-
Mountain biking (MTB), especially downhill, enduro and trail riding

Trekking and everyday bikes for riders who prefer flexibility
