Pedals are one of the fundamental components for any cyclist. Choosing the right one is key to achieving a pedaling style that prioritizes comfort or is clearly focused on performance. In this article, we present a list of the lightest XC pedals on the market.

Featherweight XC pedals: models that prioritize lightness

Weight is part of the complex performance equation; while not decisive, it is a factor that contributes to improving numbers on the bike. Although it is a recurring mistake to buy without considering other data, the truth is that the scale has influenced many purchases. The importance of weight is relative - significant for some, almost a mere distraction for others - but brands also strive to offer the same performance with the least possible weight.

Technology advances and manufacturers refine their products in search - among other things - of a lighter weight. As expected, pedals are also part of this endless race that makes more sense in disciplines like XC, where performance is usually a priority for those who practice it.
