Prerunner Pedal - Titanium

The madmen at Twenty6 can't seem to stop tinkering with their already bold pedal designs. The Prerunner Ti pedal takes cues from their previous Rallye and 6Foe models. It's a CNC machining continuum if you will. The progression goes something like this -- light and burly pedal, lighter burly pedal with greater traction capacity, and finally, lightest burly pedal with concave platform for best traction.

Twenty6 Products has a well-deserved reputation for their finish quality, and no-fear attitude when it comes to their rainbow of color options. It's an inventory nightmare for us, but you get to creatively customize your steed. The Prerunner Ti pedal is the most shapely that they've ever produced. Compared to the older designs, its complex curves are downright sexy. It's also the thinnest and lightest. This weight savings comes as a result of their quest to define and remove all of the material that was not necessary to provide either attractive surface for your feet or strength for aggressive riding. The end result is a 256g pedal and a much bigger pile of machined aluminum shavings on the shop floor. In fact the Ti version is a stunning 94 grams lighter than its predecessor, Rallye Ti.

The Prerunner Ti pedal is surprisingly thin. They will place your foot about as close to the pedal spindle as physically possible -- the closer the better, for finer balance. This inherent stability affords a greater measure of confidence for sketchy descents and landings. The new internals allow for the pancake thin shape. The new titanium spindle runs on all-new self-lubricating turcite bushings. These new bushings are particularly interesting because they are of an angular contact design. The spindle preload can be easily adjusted for this reason. Twenty6 uses quad o-rings to seal contaminates from the bushings.

The Prerunner Ti pedal uses machined aluminum traction pins where the older designs relied on small hex bolts for this unsung job. The new pins are black anodized aluminum, and each pedal comes with the 18 pins already installed. For those that like to coordinate the colors on their bike, the pins come in all of the same 8 anodized colors as the pedals for a totally customized look. Custom pin kits will be sold separately. The pins thread into the pedal; and should they get tagged on a rock or otherwise get destroyed, the pins can be removed easily from the backside and replaced. The Twenty6 Products Prerunner Ti Pedal is available in 8 anodized colors -- Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, and Yellow. 256g
