Spank

Spank – Spike Flat Pedal

The Spike Flat Pedal achieves an ultra-thin 12mm thickness without compromising a closed axle design or ultimate strength, by utilizing a cold forged pedal body and special scandium enriched, hollow taper steel axle, paired with a thin walled IGUS outboard bushing. The results are improved pedaling and cornering clearance, lowered center of gravity, reduced "pedal flip" effect, and improved pedaling efficiency as the rider's foot is brought closer to the center axis of the pedal. Chamfered leading and side edges also improve the pedals ability to glance over obstacles and reduce impact forces. Oversized, full compliment, industrial sealed inboard bearings slam flush with crank arms to reduce leverage on the bearing unit while at the same time reducing Q-factor, which further improves pedaling efficiency and rider positioning. Finally the extra long 90+cm2 platform improves grip and support, while further reducing the "pedal flip" effect during climbing or aggressive pedaling. The Spike Flat is truly a revolution in pedal design!

8 years ago saw a distinct gap in the market for high-end gravity products at affordable prices. Immediately Freeriders and Dirt Jumpers all over Europe latched on to the unique aesthetics and design behind the Spank line, and Spank earned a name for bombproof reliability and great looks. Spank has always pushed the limits of real world production capabilities, by bringing new manufacturing techniques and materials into the bicycle industry. When it became too difficult to drive this level of development at the pace our industry demands, reach Spank's exacting tolerances, and work with materials nobody had considered before at outside sources, Spank took it to the next level. Today much of the Spank product line is produced in house, which is very special for a brand of this size.
