Crankbrothers Candy 1 Clip-In Pedals
Product Details
The Crankbrothers Candy 1 Clip-In Pedals combine the lightweight efficiency of a cross-country race pedal with the added stability and versatility needed for gravel, trail, and adventure riding. Featuring Crankbrothers' proven four-sided entry system and a durable composite body, the Candy 1 delivers dependable engagement, easy mud shedding, and confidence-inspiring performance across a wide range of riding conditions.
Built around a one-piece composite body with stamped steel wings, the Candy 1 offers an ideal balance of strength, durability, and low weight. The compact platform provides additional support compared to minimalist clipless pedals, making clipping in and out more intuitive while offering improved stability on rough terrain. A ribbed pedal body also enhances traction when riding unclipped, providing extra control during technical sections and quick remounts.
Crankbrothers' signature four-sided entry design makes engagement fast and intuitive from virtually any angle, eliminating the need to orient the pedal before clipping in. This system is particularly beneficial for gravel riders, mountain bikers, and cyclocross racers who frequently need to clip in and out in changing terrain. Open wing architecture further promotes superior mud shedding, helping maintain consistent pedal performance in wet, muddy, and unpredictable conditions.
The Candy 1 allows riders to customize pedal feel through adjustable float and release characteristics. Included premium brass cleats provide 6 degrees of float and a 10-degree easy-release angle, helping reduce knee strain while delivering predictable disengagement when needed.
Internally, the pedal utilizes a premium bearing system featuring an Igus LL-glide inner bearing and an Enduro cartridge outer bearing paired with a double-seal design for long-lasting durability and smooth operation. Forged SCM 435 chromoly steel spindles and stainless steel springs further enhance reliability for years of dependable use.
Weighing just 294 grams per pair and backed by a five-year warranty, the Candy 1 is an excellent choice for riders seeking lightweight performance, easy engagement, and trail-ready durability.
The Crankbrothers Candy 1 Clip-In Pedals are lightweight, versatile clipless pedals designed to deliver reliable engagement, excellent mud clearance, and all-terrain performance for gravel, trail, and cross-country riding.
