Crankbrothers Candy 11 Gold Clipless Mountain Bike Pedals with Premium Bearings

The Crankbrothers Candy 11 Gold pedals revolutionize your ride with a sleek, minimalist design that merges function and style. Crafted with durability and performance in mind, these pedals feature a lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium body paired with 6al/4v titanium wings and spindle, ensuring both strength and low weight. Engineered for riders who demand reliability across diverse terrains, the Candy 11 pedals excel whether you're tackling all-mountain trails, cyclo-cross courses, or technical singletrack.

Designed to offer superior mud-shedding capabilities, the Candy 11 pedals keep your ride smooth no matter the conditions. Their open, four-sided entry system allows you to clip in quickly from any direction, while the ribbed pedal body enhances grip when you’re unclipped. The pedals also feature a 6° float that provides natural foot movement, improving bike control and rider comfort during long, challenging rides. With premium brass cleats included, you can easily adjust the release angle between 15° and 20°, tailoring your setup for optimal performance and safety.

Maintenance is simple and straightforward thanks to the fully rebuildable design and consistent parts across Crankbrothers' pedal range. The double seal system and exclusive bearings—the outer Enduro cartridge bearing and inner Igus LL-glide bearing—work in tandem to keep out dirt and water, guaranteeing smooth operation even in the harshest trail conditions. Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Candy 11 pedals offer confidence and longevity for serious cyclists seeking reliable, high-performance clipless pedals.
