Strengths:    Weight, design, Annodized red, grip, concave platform design, sealed bearings and o rings. Low price.

Weaknesses:    no replacement pins provided.

Bottom Line:   
I am switching over from Clipless, Candies. I got tired of not being able to clip out at awkward foot position and the ability to dab down in technicals. I like bling of the red anno color. It very comfortable even on beer runs wearing sandles. The price is very reasonable. I recommend these for beginners to intermediates.

Date Reviewed: August 31, 2011

Strengths:    Grip,Durability,Low Profile

Weaknesses:    Not the lightest platform pedal, no replacement pins included

Bottom Line:   
In the world of $100+ plus pedals, these 420 pedals seem reasonable at $80 when you factor in build quality, fairly low profile, grip and size. The 420's have a not too small, not too big cage size for the 7-10 shoe size rider. The pin placement works well and provides good grip w/o gnarly high pins.

I recommend this pedal to downhillers, racers and freeriders who want a good pedal at a solid price.

Strengths:    Durable finish. Thin profile. Lots of grip through the use of intelligent pin placement.

Weaknesses:    Pricey.

Bottom Line:   
Unlike a lot of other platform pedal makers, I feel that Azonic makes their pedals sticky without the need for a megaton of pins. Pin placement is along the perimeter which lets your foot concave mildly onto the base platform (which is pinless) for control. The pedal is comfortable to ride and feels very secure. I love the thin profile and very rigid feel for a pedal this light. The powder coat white is a durable finish and makes it one of the best looking pedals around. Unlike some people, I went from riding clipless to riding platforms. It's more fun and safe to have my feet free to whip a jump, ride skinnies, or drop a ledge.

Strengths:    Weight, Grip, Look.

Weaknesses:    A little fragile

Bottom Line:   
As great as these pedals work and look at first, this is the first set of pedals I've ever bent. I'm not a huge guy, maybe 165 with gear on.

The axle bent on me after clipping a rock traveling at relatively low speed. I seem to hit my pedals a lot, but this is the first set I've bent.

Submitted by lost_biker a Weekend Warrior from Aliso Viejo, CA, USA

Date Reviewed: May 13, 2009

Strengths:    Light compared to other flats, looks better than other flats, good surface material, no slipping, sealed bearings (I don't know what that means, but it's a good thing), slim.

Weaknesses:    Not as light as some clipless pedals, I wish it was cheaper.

Bottom Line:   
I've only used this pedal for like 2 hours today, and it feels like super glue, I literally get stuck sometimes when I want to move my feet around. This is a good thing, so you have to make sure you position your feet correctly the first time. Compared to other pedals I researched, this is pretty light. I think this is a good pedal until you have confidence in your balance and skills, then clipless is the way to go. I'll only give it 4 stars for value because I would have liked it to be lighter and cheaper, but I'm glad I bought it.
