MKS GAMMA | Vertically Long Pedals with Spike Pins Supervised by Rivendell
A jointly developed RBW model combining a classic vertically long design with high grip performance.
"GAMMA," jointly developed by RBW (Rivendell Bicycle Works) and MKS / MIKASHIMA INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., is a high-grip flat pedal based on the popular "LAMBDA" model, with added anti-slip spike pins.
Maintaining its distinctive vertically long form, the finely designed tread, including pin height and placement, provides high stability during gravel rides and in bad weather. It offers a secure feel, allowing for firm pedaling even with sneakers or outdoor shoes.
Furthermore, the wide, vertical tread is also compatible with boots, naturally fitting a wide range of riding styles from city commuting to touring and gravel riding. It's also an excellent match for old MTBs, commuter bikes, and classical touring bikes.
The matte texture from the shot blast finish and the rugged yet refined atmosphere created by the thin side plates are also appealing. It's a model that embodies "MKS's timeless design," blending a classic feel with modern practicality at a high level.
