Crankbrothers Mallet 2 Clip-In Pedals

P

The Crankbrothers Mallet 2 Clip-In Pedals combine the support and confidence of a platform pedal with the secure connection and control of a clip-in system.

Built around a durable aluminum platform and Crankbrothers' signature four-sided entry mechanism, the Mallet 2 is designed for mountain bikers who want stable shoe support, easy engagement and dependable performance in challenging trail conditions.

Aluminum Platform for Added Support

The Mallet 2 uses a full 6061-T6 aluminum platform measuring approximately 100 x 75mm.

The platform provides additional contact and support around the shoe compared with minimalist clip-in pedals, helping create a stable feel when riding technical terrain.

Its platform-based design makes the Mallet 2 particularly suited to trail, enduro and aggressive mountain bike riding.

Four-Sided Clip-In Entry

Crankbrothers' clip-in mechanism provides four-sided entry, making it easier to engage the pedal without needing to precisely orient the pedal body.

The open design also provides excellent mud shedding, helping maintain reliable engagement when riding in wet, muddy or loose conditions.

Customizable Float and Release Angle

The included Crankbrothers Standard Release cleats provide 6 degrees of float.

Depending on cleat orientation, riders can configure a 15° or 20° release angle, allowing the pedal setup to be tuned to individual riding preferences.

Crankbrothers also offers alternative cleats separately for riders who prefer different release characteristics.

Durable Bearings and Sealed Construction

The Mallet 2 combines an Igus LL-glide inner bearing with an Enduro cartridge outer bearing.

A double-seal system helps protect the internal components from dirt, moisture and trail debris, while the serviceable design allows routine maintenance to help extend pedal life.

Chromoly Steel Spindle

A forged SCM 435 chromoly steel spindle provides the strength required for demanding off-road riding.

The pedal also uses stamped-steel wings and a stainless-steel spring as part of the clip-in mechanism.
