The Nukeproof Neutron EVO Flat Pedals are engineered for mountain and enduro riders seeking dependable foot stability and robust performance. Featuring a lightweight nylon-reinforced composite body, an updated pin layout, and knurled traction patches, these pedals ensure excellent grip and comfort, allowing riders to maintain control and confidence across various trail conditions. As flat pedals, they require proper technique to maintain foot position, especially on rough terrain.
Enhanced Grip: An updated pin layout combined with knurled traction patches provides superior foot plant and overall traction, keeping your feet firmly on the pedals in various conditions.
Lightweight Composite Body: Constructed from a durable nylon-reinforced composite, these pedals offer a significant weight advantage at approximately 354g per pair without compromising strength.
Smooth & Durable Bearings: Equipped with 2x DU bushings and 4x sealed Z989 cartridge bearings per pair, ensuring smooth rotation and long-lasting performance even in harsh riding environments.
Optimized Dimensions: With a platform size of 111x99x18mm (LxWxD), these pedals offer a solid and stable base for various foot sizes, promoting comfort and control.
Robust CrMo Axle: Features a strong CrMo axle designed to withstand the impacts and stresses inherent in aggressive mountain biking and enduro riding.
Trail-Ready Design: Specifically engineered for MTB and Enduro use, these pedals focus on resilience, dependable grip, and rider confidence on technical terrain.

The Nukeproof Neutron EVO pedals excel in conditions requiring quick foot adjustments and reliable grip. The combination of the updated pin layout and strategically placed knurled traction patches means your feet stay locked in, whether you're navigating rocky descents, technical climbs, or flowing singletrack. This enhanced grip boosts rider confidence, allowing you to focus on line choice and bike control rather than foot positioning.
The nylon-reinforced composite body is surprisingly tough, shrugging off impacts from rocks and roots that might damage lesser pedals. Paired with the robust CrMo axle and sealed cartridge bearings, these pedals are built to endure the harsh realities of mountain biking, providing smooth operation ride after ride with minimal maintenance.
At approximately 354g per pair, these pedals contribute to a lighter bike setup. This can be particularly beneficial for enduro riders looking to shave grams without sacrificing strength, making climbing less strenuous and overall bike handling more nimble and responsive.
The 111x99x18mm platform provides ample surface area for your feet, distributing pressure evenly and potentially reducing fatigue on longer rides. The solid feel underfoot translates to better control and comfort throughout your ride, enhancing the overall riding experience.
These pedals are perfect for MTB trail riding, aggressive enduro, and even bike park laps where consistent grip and durability are paramount. They offer a strong connection to the bike without the commitment of clipless systems, allowing for easy foot removal in tricky or unpredictable situations.
Prepare Crank Arms: Ensure your bike's crank arm threads are clean and free of any debris or old grease. Applying a small amount of bicycle-specific grease to the pedal threads is recommended to prevent seizing and facilitate future removal.
Identify Pedals: Pedals are typically marked 'L' for left (non-drive side) and 'R' for right (drive side). The left pedal has a reverse (left-hand) thread, meaning it tightens by turning counter-clockwise. The right pedal has a standard (right-hand) thread, tightening clockwise.
Initial Threading: Gently thread each pedal into its corresponding crank arm by hand. Ensure the threads align perfectly to avoid cross-threading, which can cause significant damage to your crank arms.
Tightening: Use an 8mm hex wrench or a 15mm pedal wrench (depending on the axle interface) to firmly tighten the pedals. Do not overtighten, but ensure they are snug enough to prevent loosening during your ride. Refer to your crank arm manufacturer's manual for specific torque recommendations, typically around 35-40 Nm.
These pedals feature a standard 9/16" axle, making them compatible with virtually all modern mountain bike cranks.
They are designed for optimal performance across MTB, Enduro, and general trail riding disciplines.
For the best grip and performance, pair these pedals with flat pedal-specific shoes that have stiff soles and grippy rubber outsoles to enhance pin engagement.
Cleaning: After muddy or dirty rides, rinse the pedals with water to remove accumulated mud and grit. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the bearing areas, as this can force water and contaminants past the seals. A soft brush can help dislodge stubborn dirt.
Regular Inspection: Periodically check the pedal pins for wear, damage, or looseness. Ensure the composite body is free of significant cracks or impact damage. Info needed: [Confirm specific pin replacement procedures if applicable.]
Bearing Longevity: The sealed cartridge bearings are designed to be low-maintenance. If you notice any grinding sensations, excessive play, or stiffness when spinning the pedals, it may indicate that the bearings or bushings require servicing or replacement. This is often best handled by a qualified bike mechanic due to specialized tools required.
Axle Security: Regularly check that the pedals remain securely tightened to the crank arms to prevent any play or unexpected detachment during rides.
