MKS Pretzel | Versatile Flat Pedals with Wide Tread and High Stability
A sense of security the moment you place your foot. Japanese-made flat pedals for everything from city riding to gravel.
From daily commutes to weekend cycling and detours onto unpaved roads. The MKS "Pretzel" supports comfortable pedaling in a variety of situations.
Based on the popular GAMMA model, it features unique C-shaped aluminum die-cast parts to achieve an even wider tread. This provides both stable support for the sole of your foot and a natural pedaling feel.
The tread features steel spike pins and a concave shape that dips slightly towards the center. This securely grips the sole of your shoe, supporting non-slip and stable pedaling. A built-in reflector also enhances nighttime visibility, making this a highly practical model.
With MKS's characteristic reliability and ease of use, this pedal is a great match for a wide range of bikes, from city cross bikes to gravel roads and touring bikes.

The appeal of the Pretzel is, first and foremost, the sense of stability you feel when you place your foot on it. The tread is wider than typical flat pedals, providing firm support for the sole of your foot even with sneakers.
The spike pins offer excellent grip but aren't overly aggressive, striking a perfect balance that makes them easy to handle for city riding. Thanks to the concave shape, your foot naturally finds its position, providing a sense of security even on long rides.
They are not only compatible with cross bikes and gravel road bikes but also recommended for touring bikes and commuters. The built-in reflector, useful for night riding, is also a welcome feature. These pedals are perfect for those who want to enjoy a wide range of rides, from daily use to weekend excursions.
