MKS TOURING-LITE | High-performance touring pedals with an appealingly light rotation
Pedals that spin smoothly make the ride itself more enjoyable.
"TOURING-LITE" from MKS (Mikashima Seisakusho), a long-established Japanese pedal brand, is a high-spec touring pedal that combines precise rotational performance with ease of use.
By hand-polishing even the rotating mechanism and adopting the "MKS High-Performance Ball Bearing System," it achieves an astonishingly smooth pedaling feel. You can enjoy a light pedaling experience with little resistance on long rides, making you naturally want to keep pedaling.
With its double-sided design, it is easy to handle even with stop-and-go city riding, making it a recommended design for road bike beginners and cross bike users.
Furthermore, the wave-shaped side plates naturally hold your shoes even without toe clips, providing a secure pedaling feel even with regular shoes. Of course, you can also combine them with toe clips or straps if you prefer.
The exquisite design balance, neither too classic nor too sporty, is also appealing. These pedals, with the quality unique to Japanese products, blend naturally with a wide range of bicycles, from chromoly road bikes and touring bikes to commuters.

The TOURING-LITE is a model that makes you realize "how comfortable a smooth-spinning pedal can be."
The lightness when riding long distances is particularly impressive, giving you the feeling of naturally wanting to keep pedaling. The smoothness of the rotation is clearly felt, making it highly compatible with long rides.
Since it's double-sided, it's easy to handle in the city, making it a recommended choice for those new to sports bikes. The hold feeling of the wave-shaped side plates is also exquisite, allowing for a surprisingly firm pedal stroke even with regular shoes.
I think it's a great pedal not only for chromoly road bikes and touring bikes, but also for those who want to add a touch of quality to the atmosphere of their cross bike.
