Race Face Chester Pedals
- Were too convex.
- Could've used more grip.
- Would benefit more riders if we offered it in multiple sizes.
- Pedal shape – Our previous iteration had a bulge in the centre of the pedal platform to house the pedal spindle. Many composite pedals need more material in this area to achieve desired strength (aluminium is stronger and requires less metal to achieve the same strength). The drawback of the bulge is an insecure, convex feel. With the new Chester, we slimmed down the spindle housing without compromising strength, almost eliminating the bulge entirely and resulting in a more concave and secure feel.
- Platform size – We made the new Chester in two sizes, Small (105 x 100mm) and Large (115 x 110mm) to better suit the needs of all riders. Platform size is largely a matter of rider preference, but we found a rough correlation to shoe size, as seen in the chart below. (The previous Chester pedals came in one size, measuring 110 x 101mm.)
- Pin placement, type and quantity – Chester now has nine metal pins and two molded plastic pins for a total of 11 pins per pedal side (three more than previous model). The pins were strategically placed for more consistent grip around the entire pedal circumference and a more concave feel. The metal pins also have smaller, threadless tips, which improves grip and lets riders reposition their feet as needed. Threadless pin tips also make pin removal easier for when riders inevitably replace them, as well as making the pins less damaging to skin in the event of a "shinner."
- Q-factor – We eliminated the wrench flats from the pedal spindle to reduce Q-factor, meaning the rider's feet will sit closer to the cranks. Riders can now improve ride ergonomics with a simple pedal swap.
- Better pins, and more of them.11 pins per side – improved placement, better grip, easy foot-adjust, less shin-damage.
- Updated pedal shape. For better shoe-pedal contact, and a secure concave feel Available in Small and Large platform sizes:
- Small – 105 x 100mm
- Large – 115 x 110mm
- 16mm platform height.
- Fully rebuildable and serviceable internals.
- Eight colour options: Black / Red / Orange / Green / Turquoise / Blue / Purple / Magenta.
- Lightweight:
- Small pair – 345g
- Large pair – 355g
- Refreshed look.
- Glass-filled nylon body with in-mold graphics.
- Black spindle with 8mm hex interface. For improved aesthetics and easier installation.
- No more wrench flats – reduced Q-factor. No wrench flats on the pedal spindle mean better pedalling ergonomics.
- Race Face Lifetime Warranty. Crashes included. These composite pedals won't break, but are covered for consumer peace of mind.
