The Nukeproof Neutron EVO (Electron EVO) Flat Pedals in Black are designed for mountain bikers seeking a reliable, high-performance platform with exceptional grip and durability without a premium price tag. Featuring a robust aluminum body, a revised pin layout, and sealed bearings, these pedals enhance comfort and control on challenging trails. While offering excellent value, riders accustomed to lighter composite pedals might notice the slightly increased weight of this aluminum variant.
Optimized Grip: Updated pin layout and knurled traction patches above the axle body provide improved foot planting and overall traction.
Durable Construction: Forged and CNC-machined 6061-T6 Aluminium body ensures high strength and longevity for aggressive riding.
Smooth Performance: Equipped with 2x DU bushings and 4x sealed Z989 cartridge bearings (per pair) for consistently smooth rotation.
Strong Axle: Features a CrMo (Chromoly) axle, known for its strength and resistance to bending under stress.
Trail-Ready Dimensions: Measures 111x99x18mm (LxWxD), offering a generous platform for stability and control.
Standard Compatibility: Uses a standard 9/16" axle thread, compatible with most mountain bike cranks.
Distinctive Finish: Comes with an Oil Slick finish on the aluminum body, adding a unique aesthetic touch.
Moderate Weight: Weighs approximately 407g per pair, balancing durability with ride performance.
Exceptional grip and foot stability on varied terrain due to pin layout and knurled patches.
Highly durable forged and CNC-machined 6061-T6 Aluminium body resists impacts.
Smooth and consistent pedal rotation from dual DU bushings and sealed cartridge bearings.
Robust CrMo axle provides excellent strength and reliability for aggressive riding.
Offers great performance and durability at a competitive price point.
Generous platform size (111x99mm) provides confidence and support.
At 407g per pair, they are slightly heavier than some composite pedal alternatives.
Aluminum body can show cosmetic scuffs and scrapes from rock strikes more easily than composite.
Pins are sharp and can cause shin damage if proper riding technique and protection are not used.
Requires periodic maintenance (cleaning, bearing checks) for optimal longevity.

The Nukeproof Neutron EVO (Electron EVO) Flat Pedals are engineered for demanding mountain biking, from enduro and downhill to aggressive trail riding. The revised pin layout coupled with the knurled traction patches around the axle body creates a remarkably sticky platform, ensuring your feet stay planted even through the roughest sections and steepest descents. Riders will experience a direct and responsive feel, translating power efficiently to the drivetrain. The robust 6061-T6 Aluminium body is designed to withstand frequent rock strikes and impacts, making them a reliable choice for technical trails. The sealed cartridge bearings contribute to a consistently smooth spin, reducing fatigue on longer rides and providing predictable pedal placement after cornering or maneuvers. Whether you're navigating root sections, sending drops, or grinding up climbs, these pedals offer the confidence and control needed for aggressive riding styles. They are particularly beneficial for riders who prioritize a secure foot connection and durability over absolute minimal weight.
Prepare Crank Arms: Ensure your crank arm threads are clean and free of debris. Applying a small amount of anti-seize grease to the pedal threads is recommended to prevent seizing and facilitate future removal.
Identify Left and Right: Pedals are specific to each side. The left pedal usually has an L marking and a reverse (left-hand) thread, while the right pedal has an R marking and a standard (right-hand) thread.
Installation: Gently thread the pedals into the crank arms by hand to ensure they are not cross-threaded. Turn the left pedal counter-clockwise to tighten, and the right pedal clockwise to tighten. Be careful not to overtighten.
Final Tightening: Use a 15mm pedal wrench or an Allen key (if your cranks have an internal hex fitting) to securely tighten the pedals. Refer to your crank manufacturer's torque specifications, but generally, pedals should be snug to prevent creaking or loosening during rides.
Axle Size: These pedals feature a standard 9/16" axle, making them compatible with virtually all modern mountain bike cranks.
Bike Type: Designed for MTB, Enduro, and general trail riding. They are suitable for both conventional and electric mountain bikes.
Cleaning: After muddy rides, clean your pedals with water and a mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on the bearings, as this can force water and contaminants past the seals.
Bearing Check: Periodically check for any play or roughness in the bearings. If you notice excessive play or grinding, consult a bike mechanic for bearing service or replacement.
Pin Inspection: Regularly inspect the pins for damage, bending, or loss. The pins are replaceable, and having spare pins on hand is recommended for optimal grip.
Axle Check: Ensure the pedals remain tightly secured to the crank arms before each ride. A loose pedal can lead to creaking or damage to the crank threads.
Storage: Store your bike in a clean, dry environment to prolong the life of all components, including your pedals.
