Launch Components launched it Magnesium Launchpad flat bicycle pedals last year and for those looking to reduce the weight the new Aluminum Launchpad is ready to roll. These are designed for downhill racing, but are light enough for the cross country riding as well.
These feature an ultra low profile body that is just 120mm x 100mm, and yet offer a low surface area that retains grip even when wet. The Aluminum Launchpad pedals weight just 367grams per pair while the CNC machined pedals are hard anodized and ready for off-road adventures.
