Wolf Tooth Adds Orange and Espresso Anodizing to Ripsaw Pedals

Wolf Tooth’s new pedals, the Ripsaw ($199.95), got two new hues this morning: orange and espresso. These made in the USA pedals feature a slim, lightweight design with a slight convex profile. The large, asymmetric machined aluminum platform provides strong foot support for all-mountain riding, while the thin convex profile is just 7mm thick at the leading edge. Inside the pedal are three fully sealed cartridge bearings, a stainless steel axle, an igus bushing, and a custom radial seal to protect internal components against trail debris.

Race Face Chester Pedals Gets New Sizes, More Grip and a Lifetime Warranty

Chester pedals have long been a staple in bike shops as a colorful, cheap, and bomber pedal option for everything from commuting to trail riding.

Rather than rest on its laurels with a bomber pedal platform, Race Face took feedback from its community of riders and redesigned the Chester with a more concave feel, improved grip and multiple sizes. Let’s take a look.

MKS BM 10 Foot Jaws Are Back

Those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s remember these pedals. Or at least our shins do! Before clipless foot retention, having a flat pedal with “bite” was necessary! The BM 10 pedals, aka the “Foot Jaws” feature a cage wrapped with teeth that grab onto your sneakers for a premium grip. These iconic pedals are coming back for MKS day 2024 and are in stock at Blue Lug today.  The US should be getting these in stock any day now as well!

Reviewed: A Flight of North American-Made Pedals from Blackspire, North Shore Billet, Tectonic, Tenet, Wolf Tooth, and Yoshimura

Reviewing a group of high-end, North-American-made pedals is, perhaps, best compared to reviewing a group of gourmet cheeseburgers: They are all going to be delicious, and you’ll need a pretty distinguished pallet to pull a lot of the finer details out—is that a Wisconsin smoked cheddar or Vermont? Ok, maybe I’m getting a bit off the rails here with the comparison, but the reality is: Just like two people may have differing opinions on what makes the best burger, each pair of these pedals has its own slightly distinctive flavor that may satisfy one rider more than another, or, even the same rider on different trails, bikes, or conditions.
