As a moto guy that rides MTB on flat pedals, those are a must have!!!

Excellent job Big E and company!!!!
I just helped. Its Yusaku Yoshimura's vision. He loves to ride and had some ideas how he thought we could make USA made product. This is going to be a fun project for us!

I’m not trying to be a dick, but they don’t feel like clips at all. They are cool for practice to work on your skill, but you’ll get pulled down the front straight racing with them.

I have yet to slip a pedal. Good enough for me. I meant they’re like clipless as in the grip is crazy almost feels like your feet are glued on, obviously riding clipless is different. Not trying to be a dick but getting pulled on the front straight isn’t a pedal issue
Nice reply

To me, the difference down the front straight is huge between flats and clips. Especially out of the gate because I pull up on the back side of the crank. Plus I use my feet when I reverse manual the back side of stuff.

I still like plastic pedals better. Never had them bend, nice and light, never look scuffed up and they work just fine.But these Yosh units definitely have blingage.

I paid $100 for a set of Shimano Saint pedals. They will serve the purpose, but far from the quality of the Yosh ones.
I have always run clip-ins, but had a rough time on a new area we are riding and had to push up sections and there were tight switch backs, with cliffs on one side. Sketchy... so I bought a set of pedals and a pair of MTB shoes. Have yet to try them, I’ve been riding my dirt bikes too much. Lol



Id keep an eye on that tire rub on your frame.....

Clip on on 1 side would be nice so it covers both styles

Those pedals look really thick. Ever have scraping issues in the woods?

Same. If you're running a stock wheel and shock with a fairly standard size tire, it should not be doing that. I might contact Pivot and see what they say...

True. Definitely an advantage snapping right out of the gate.

I’m stuck with Race Face Chesters. $45.00. Nothing like these and I’m not saying they aren’t worth it. Just a fact of life.
Same here. I was interested until I saw the price which is what I expected to be honest. Too rich for my mtb hobby.

I just bought new RaceFace Chesters, 2 weeks too late for me...Would be cool if they offered plastics too; I find that the plastic pedals do a better job of slipping off rocks when a pedal strike happens vs alloy which tend to grab on things. Plus plastic flats stay quieter

I was using an old pair of plastic Odyssey Jim C's with sealed bearings before the RaceFace.

Those Yosh pedals are beautiful! I have plastic Stomp's that work well and fit in my price range ($50). Any chance you make a plastic version of those?

True in a general sense. Flat pedals range from trash to awesome. Shape, length/width/thickness, pin placement, pin height, pin width. It all contributes to pedals that feel great or feel like junk.

Anyone ever look at Time or Look road-bike pedals? Laughing
No shit. I remember paying $400 Cdn for my first set of Time road pedals back in the mid-90s!

These new Yosh flats look sweet BTW. I'm always willing to pay a bit extra for anything actually made in the USA (or Canada) that is high quality. Chris King, Cane Creek, Thomson, etc, etc. Great manufacturing and folks who stand behind the products.

Big E, if these take off will you guys be branching out into other bicycle parts? I mean, I love my Crankbrothers stuff but if there was a slew of Yosh product to compare it to, I'd most likely be spending my money with you instead.

I could easily see high-quality Yoshimura cranks, stems, bars, multi-tools...
