MKS Compact | Ultra-lightweight and compact pedals for agile footwork

Weighing only 233g, these are MKS's lightest flat pedals, making city riding more nimble and enjoyable.

The "Compact" from MKS / Mikashima Industrial Co., Ltd., a long-established Japanese pedal brand, is an ultra-lightweight and compact pedal that achieves both a simple, stripped-down design and a light pedaling feel.

Weighing only 233g per pair, this model is among the lightest in the MKS pedal lineup, delivering a lightness that's instantly noticeable the moment you hold them.

The body features a one-piece extruded aluminum structure machined with CNC. Its thin, streamlined silhouette naturally blends in without disrupting the aesthetics of cross bikes, mini velos, or commuter bikes.

Despite its compact size, the user-friendly double-sided design allows for smooth pedaling even in urban areas with frequent traffic stops.

Furthermore, by combining a "single sealed bearing" and a "bush bearing," it achieves an excellent balance of lightness and smooth rotational performance.

These minimalist pedals, with a level of craftsmanship unique to Japan, are highly recommended for those who want to lighten their footwork.

They are indeed quite light. It's the kind of lightness you instantly feel when you hold them, conveying a sense of agility even when the pedals are off the bike.

Pedals are often a component where weight differences are hard to perceive, but the Compact noticeably contributes to lighter starting and an overall nimbler feel for the bike.

The size is also just right, perfectly sufficient for primarily city riding. They are especially compatible with mini velos and cross bikes, and their understated design is ideal for those who don't want to disrupt the aesthetic of their complete bike.

For those who frequently transport their bikes, choosing the detachable Ezy model would be very convenient.
