Spotted on the Loam Ranger’s YouTube yesterday, the Outlier Pendulum ($299 CAD) drop pedals are fully CNC milled pedals that sit lower than other pedals and remarkably have no body platform.
The Pendulum platform sits 12 mm below the center of the axle ,while most pedals place the platform 5mm or more above the center of the axle. This lowering of the platform effectively drops the rider’s center of mass by 17 mm or more, offering significant stability and control. During sudden decelerations, the pedal acts as a pendulum and swings forward cradling the rider’s foot in a heals-down position. In the event that you take your foot off a pedal, these pedals are self-righting
All this to say, wow, they look wild.

- Platform Size: 120x115mm
