Crankbrothers Candy 1 is a dual-sided, entry-level clipless mountain bike pedal optimized for cross-country (XC), gravel, cyclocross, and light trail riding. It features the iconic four-sided "Eggbeater" engagement mechanism surrounded by a compact composite outer platform, offering extra underfoot stability and protection against trail strikes.
Key Technical Specifications
Composite Body: Constructed with a one-piece, ribbed composite plastic shell designed for extra traction if you fail to clip in immediately.
Steel Components: Assembled with stamped steel wings and a robust 300-series stainless steel spring system.
Premium Internals: Built with the identical high-end bearing configuration found on Crankbrothers' top-tier models, combining an inner Igus LL-glide bushing, an outer Enduro cartridge bearing, and a double lip seal system.
Weight Profile: Highly competitive at 294 grams per pair, making them significantly lighter than the aluminum-bodied Candy 2 variants due to the composite structure.
