Magped SPORT2 Magnetic Pedals

Curious to see where the Magped Sport 2 would position itself as a magnetic pedal between a clipless pedal and a flat pedal, I tried it out with my heavy E-MTB on my local trails. To be more precise, my test pedal was the 200 Nm model, i.e. the enduro version with the highest traction force (15 kg). I would describe this pedal as a " flat pedal plus", in other words a type of flat pedal with extra grip. On bumpy, fast descents, you can clearly feel the traction force and the connection between shoe and pedal. Nevertheless, the foot can be released easily. I found this particularly useful on technical sections. If that's still too much for you, you can simply change the pedal side before hitting the trail and use the conventional platform side. For those who want more grip from their platform pedals but don't want to use regular clipless pedals, the Magped could be a good alternative. However, as with clipless pedals, clipping in can take some practice.

Features - SPORT 2 Magnet Pedals

• Circular motion: The magped pedal ensures a continuous circular tread by employing your extensor muscles (70%) as well as your flexor muscles (30%) for maximum riding performance. You will feel the difference especially on longer rides.
• Pulling Force: Depending on your choice of pedal the magnet will connect you up to approx. 15 kg in pulling force. The force deploys primarily in a downward force and therefore a quick and simple release with a sideways move of your foot is possible practically without effort. But even in more critical situations the pulling force can be overcome without difficulties in a vertical direction as well.
• Weight: The magped pedal is a modern high quality flat pedal made from light aluminium with a CrMo spindle. All magped pedals are highly weight competitive to other high end pedals - in spite of the added magnet system.
• Positioning: The pedal allows for several degrees of twist of your foot and therefore provides less strain on your ankles during your rides. In addition the foot position can be varied to the front or back without a loss of pulling force for an ideal position on your ascend and your descend.
• Shoe plate: The shoe plate is made of anti corrosion treated steel and it is compatible with all SPD bike shoes. The shoe plate can be mounted very easily within a few minutes with 2 screws. In comparison to other systems the magped pedal is insensitive to dirt. Additionally the “walkability” of your bike shoe will be significantly improved.
• Technology: The magped pedal is equipped with 3 sealed high quality industrial type bearings. Pins can be exchanged if required. The high performance neodymium magnet is adjustable by means of an integrated polymer damper unit.
• Pedal Type: One Side Magnet Pedal, other side Flat Pedal
