For us, the development of a pedal begins with the idea of developing an optimal pedal for certain bikers. The LINK Composite was intended to be a high-quality plastic flat pedal with plenty of grip. It also has to be thin, look cool and take a lot of beating. The pedal has proven the latter with the Advanced XXL test at Zedler Germany. After several prototypes and many test rides by our team riders as well as internal load tests, the product is then brought onto the market.
MTB pedals in comparison - Test victory for LINK Composite - flat pedal
Whether a pedal is simply good, excellent or outstanding can only be determined in comparison with the best pedals in the category and so we are very pleased to have achieved test victory against the who's who in the international comparison of flat pedals.
"The Austrians are doing everything right with their first plastic pedal:
The flat design increases ground clearance. The Link Composite has high-quality bearings, double sealing and also looks great. The enormous grip is noticeable from the first few meters. The pins seem to literally drill into the shoe profile, and the outer pins are slightly raised for optimal contact. When you put your foot down, you can feel the metal pins pulling out of the sole. This ensures maximum grip on the descent, but also makes it difficult to reposition the foot on the pedal. Drivers with large feet will want a slightly larger footprint."
