Designed for serious downhill and enduro riders, the Nukeproof Horizon Pro DH Flat Pedals offer exceptional grip, durability, and resilience against trail impacts, honed through collaboration with world champion Sam Hill. While their robust construction ensures reliable performance on the toughest terrain, routine maintenance is key to maximizing their lifespan.
Sam Hill Collaboration: Developed with 5-time Downhill World Champion and 3-time Enduro World Series Champion Sam Hill for pro-level performance.
Large Platform Design: Provides a stable and supportive base for maximum control and grip on challenging descents.
Adjustable Pins: Customize pin height to fine-tune grip level with your preferred riding shoes.
Angled Edges: Engineered to deflect impacts from rocks and roots, minimizing damage and maintaining momentum.
Durable Bearings & Bushings: Each pedal uses high-quality DU bushings and two sealed cartridge bearings per side, distributing stress from heavy impacts.
Lip Seal Protection: A dedicated lip seal between the axle and pedal body significantly reduces water and dirt ingress, extending bearing life.
Forged 6061-T6 Alloy Body: CNC finished body offers an ideal balance of fatigue resistance, strength, and minimal weight.
Chromoly Axle: Features a strong Cro-Mo axle with a standard 9/16 thread for universal compatibility and robust performance.
Optimized Weight: Weighing 430g per pair, they strike a balance between strength needed for DH and manageable trail weight.
Exceptional grip and foot stability due to large platform and adjustable pins.
Highly durable construction with forged alloy body and Cro-Mo axle, suitable for aggressive riding.
Designed to withstand heavy impacts with angled edges for deflection and robust bearing system.
Extended bearing life thanks to the effective lip seal protecting against water and dirt.
Developed in collaboration with Sam Hill, ensuring pro-level performance and reliability.
Standard 9/16 thread offers broad compatibility with most bicycle cranks.
Weight of 430g might be considered heavy by riders prioritizing ultra-light components.
Regular maintenance of bushings and bearings is recommended to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Adjusting pin height may require specific tools.
Aggressive pins can cause wear on shoe soles over time.

The Nukeproof Horizon Pro Downhill Flat Pedals are engineered for demanding off-road conditions, specifically targeting downhill and enduro riding where grip, durability, and impact resistance are paramount.
Unrivaled Grip: The large platform combined with adjustable pins provides exceptional traction, keeping your feet firmly planted even through the roughest terrain, high speeds, or wet conditions. Riders can customize the pin height to dial in the perfect level of aggression for their shoes and riding style, ensuring confidence and control.
Built for Abuse: Constructed from forged 6061-T6 alloy with a CNC finish and featuring a strong Cro-Mo axle, these pedals are designed to absorb punishment. The angled edges are a critical feature, allowing the pedal body to glance off rocks and roots rather than catching, reducing the likelihood of damage and maintaining your flow. This makes them incredibly reliable for navigating technical descents and rock gardens.
Smooth & Durable Rotation: The internal mechanism, featuring high-quality DU bushings and two sealed cartridge bearings per pedal, ensures smooth rotation and effectively spreads stress loads from repeated heavy impacts. This translates to consistent performance and a solid feel underfoot, ride after ride. The collaboration with Sam Hill underscores their capability in competitive, high-stakes environments, proving their mettle where it counts.
Identify Left and Right: Pedals are specific to each side. Look for 'L' (left) and 'R' (right) markings on the axle end.
Apply Grease: Apply a small amount of anti-seize grease to the pedal threads on the axle. This prevents seizing and makes future removal easier.
Installation:
Right Pedal (R): Thread clockwise into the right crank arm.
Left Pedal (L): Thread counter-clockwise (reverse thread) into the left crank arm.
Tighten Securely: Use an appropriate pedal wrench or Allen key (if your cranks allow) to tighten the pedals. Ensure they are snug but do not overtighten, as this can damage crank threads. Recommended torque specification is typically around 35-40 Nm, but always refer to your crank manufacturer's guidelines if available.
Pin Adjustment: If desired, use a small Allen key to adjust the height of the pins to your preferred grip level.
These pedals feature a standard 9/16 inch thread, making them compatible with almost all modern mountain bike cranksets.
Regular Cleaning: After dusty or muddy rides, clean your pedals with water and a mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on the seals.
Inspect Pins: Regularly check all pins for tightness, damage, or missing pins. Replace any damaged or missing pins to maintain optimal grip. Spare pins are often available from Nukeproof.
Bearing Inspection: Periodically check for any excessive play or grinding in the bearings. While the lip seal significantly reduces ingress, severe conditions or prolonged use may eventually require servicing.
Lubrication: The DU bushings and sealed bearings are designed to be low maintenance. However, if you notice roughness or play, it might be time for a service. The lip seal is crucial; avoid damaging it during cleaning.
Axle Removal: For full servicing, the axle can be removed. Refer to Nukeproof's official service guides for detailed instructions on disassembly and reassembly to properly maintain the bushings and bearings.
