Race Face Chester Pedal

Horrible grip. This is mainly due to the fact that the pedals is essential designed to be convex at the axle. many generic brand flat pedals nowadays with metal pins are much grippier and are even manufactured in the same factories (the quality of materials/axles will be as good). Maybe when Chesters were a brand new design years and years ago they were relatively good, but in 2022 the design is outdated and quite honestly, dangerous. Pedal slips when mountain biking can cause serious injury.

I went back and forth from Crankbrothers Stamp 1 large to Chesters, then to Stamp 1 small and finally back to Chesters. I loved the big platform on the Stamps learning to ride, but the pins simply dont stick to my mtb shoes like the Chesters after starting to ride rougher features. These grip my size 10s perfectly but I wouldnt recommend to anyone over size 12, might be too narrow. Sure the pins do hurt more, but their ability of keeping my feet locked in better has helped me avoid shin strikes in general.

Easily the best flats on the market. Beautiful, durable and grippy as all heck. They dont look much different than the Fookers, but the feel is 10x better.

I have pretty much switched exclusively to Race Face Chester pedals for the mountain bikes in my house. They hold up to some major pedal strikes, have replaceable/serviceable components, and are a great value for their price. I always recommend these pedals to other riders who are looking for some solid platforms without breaking the bank.

Got these for my sons trek marlin 5. Easy to install and they work great.

These pedals are terrific. They offer great grip, which is so great that itll tear your shins up if you misspedal. Its worth it, though. Highly recommended.

This is a good quality pedals for mountain biking. It has a better grip than the Crankbrothers Stamp 1. I’ve tried both and I prefer RF Chester.

I ordered these for the color as Im developing a color scheme for My bike. I also wanted more pedal surface. The spikes really add to the grip under foot. I like them much and had wonderful communication with the team that make these pedals. Buy again ? Yes !!

Cool colors, light weight, very rugged, good platform and grip.

Great quality
