A day of laps at the bike park stacks up hard landings, and the Waveform Performance Pedal is an aluminum flat pedal for mountain biking with a dual-concave platform that cradles the foot. The body measures 16 millimeters thick at the perimeter and 13. 5 millimeters at the center, which puts 1. 25 millimeters of concavity under the shoe, front to back and side to side. A large, tapered leading edge deflects pedal strikes on rocky, rooty terrain. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"After a full summer on one set of these, I stopped thinking about my feet, because the nine pins on each side bit into my shoes on every hard landing. I never felt a shoe slide off the platform, even through the roughest chatter at the bottom of a run."
