These Nukeproof Horizon Pro pedals excel in demanding downhill and enduro environments where robust construction and reliable grip are paramount. The large platform ensures confident foot placement, whether you're tackling high-speed rock gardens, airing out jumps, or navigating technical descents. With adjustable pins, riders can fine-tune their connection to the bike, preventing foot slip even in wet or muddy conditions. The angled edges are a significant advantage, deflecting impacts from hidden roots and rocks, thereby protecting the pedal body and preventing snags that could throw a rider off balance. The combination of high-quality DU bushings and sealed cartridge bearings means smooth, consistent rotation and a pedal built to absorb the heavy stress loads associated with aggressive riding, providing long-term reliability on the trails.
Installing your Nukeproof Horizon Pro pedals is straightforward.
Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The right pedal threads clockwise, and the left pedal threads counter-clockwise.
Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads on the Cro-Mo axle.
Thread each pedal into its corresponding crank arm by hand, ensuring it spins freely without cross-threading.
Use an appropriate pedal wrench or Allen key (if your cranks allow) to tighten the pedals firmly. Torque specifications vary by crank manufacturer, but generally, pedals should be tightened to 35-40 Nm. Do not overtighten.
These pedals feature a standard 9/16 thread, making them universally compatible with most modern bicycle cranksets.
To ensure the prolonged life and optimal performance of your Horizon Pro pedals:
Cleaning: After rides, especially in wet or muddy conditions, clean the pedals with water and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on the seals.
Pin Inspection: Regularly check the pins for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace any damaged pins to maintain consistent grip. Spare pins are generally available.
Bearing Check: Periodically check for any play or grittiness in the pedal rotation. If you notice any issues, it indicates that the internal DU bushings and sealed cartridge bearings may require servicing or replacement. The lip seal helps prevent ingress, but over time, maintenance is necessary.
Servicing: Nukeproof recommends periodic servicing to clean and regrease the internal components, extending the life of the bearings and bushings.
