Crank Brothers Double Shot 3 Hybrid Clipless & Flat Pedal with Adjustable Cleats

The Crank Brothers Double Shot 3 Clipless Pedal redefines versatility and performance for cyclists seeking the best of both worlds. This hybrid pedal combines a flat platform on one side with a clip-in mechanism on the other, allowing you to choose between a traditional flat ride or the secure efficiency of clipless pedaling. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, it offers a seamless transition between riding styles without compromising grip or control.

Engineered with moulded traction pins and a diamond plate area, the pedal ensures excellent grip and support whether you're clipped in or riding flat. Its machined pedal body is expertly designed to shed mud efficiently, keeping your ride smooth and reliable even in challenging trail conditions. The Double Shot 3 features an advanced internal system that incorporates the igus LL-glide bearing, a high-performance component exclusive to Crank Brothers, promising long-lasting smoothness and resistance to harsh environmental factors.

Beyond its robust construction, the pedal boasts a double seal system that combines an internal double lip seal with a new external seal, effectively blocking water and debris from entering the pedal internals. This thoughtful design keeps your pedals spinning freely and reduces maintenance needs. Additionally, fit adjustment is made simple with premium cleats that can be set for either a 15° or 20° release angle, allowing you to customize your engagement and disengagement preferences. Premium brass cleats come included, completing this comprehensive package.
