FISCHER bicycle pedal MTB/BMX aluminium with traction pins, single pedal, model 85841

The FISCHER bicycle pedal MTB/BMX aluminium with traction pins, single pedal, model 85841, is a replacement or upgrade pedal intended for off-road and urban riding. Made from aluminum and fitted with multiple traction pins, this single pedal is designed to provide improved shoe grip and a stable platform for MTB and BMX riders who need a durable metal pedal for varied surfaces.

Advantages

This aluminium pedal offers increased durability compared with many plastic alternatives and provides a stable, wide contact area for the rider's foot. The traction pins are distributed across the surface to reduce slippage and help maintain control during aggressive pedaling, jumps, and cornering. As a single metal pedal it is suitable for heavy-duty use and can withstand typical impacts from trail and street riding.

Suitable for

• Mountain biking on trails and rough terrain
• BMX riding, street and park use
• Urban commuting where a robust pedal is preferred
• Replacing worn or damaged flat pedals on youth or adult bikes

When it may not be suitable

This pedal is a flat platform style and does not provide clip-in compatibility for clipless shoes, so it is not suitable for riders who require cleat systems. Riders who prefer very lightweight or fully sealed cartridge bearings for long-distance road cycling may find lighter or different bearing types more appropriate. The traction pins increase grip but may wear shoe soles more quickly than smooth surfaces.

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminium
• Pedal type: flat platform (single pedal)
• Traction: multiple metal traction pins on contact surface
• Intended use: MTB, BMX, urban riding
• Durability: designed for heavy-duty and impact-prone use

How to use

Install the pedal on the crank arm using the correct thread orientation and tightening torque recommended for your bicycle; check that the pedal spins freely and that the pins are intact before riding. Position your foot on the platform so that the traction pins contact the sole for improved grip, and periodically inspect the pins and pedal body for wear or damage. Clean mud and debris from around the axle and pins after off-road use to maintain smooth rotation and grip.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm pedal thread type and compatibility with your crank arms
• Decide if a flat platform pedal suits your riding style versus clipless systems
• Consider potential increased wear on shoe soles due to traction pins
• Assess whether aluminium construction and visible pins meet your durability expectations

Usage recommendations

For best performance, periodically tighten the pedal to the crank arm to the manufacturer's torque specification, replace worn or bent traction pins as needed, and keep bearings and threads clean and lightly greased where appropriate. Use this pedal with shoes that have firm, grippy soles to maximize traction and control during MTB and BMX riding.
