Crankbrothers Candy 7 Pedals
Product Details
The Crankbrothers Candy 7 Clip-In Pedals are designed for riders who demand race-ready performance, refined fit, and exceptional durability across gravel, cross-country, and trail riding. Combining a lightweight aluminum platform with premium materials and integrated customization features, the Candy 7 delivers an efficient connection to the bike while maintaining the mud-shedding reliability that has made the Candy platform a favorite among off-road riders.
Built around a durable 6061-T6 aluminum body and 17-4PH stainless steel wings, the Candy 7 strikes an ideal balance between low weight, strength, and long-term reliability. The compact platform provides added support compared to minimalist clipless pedals, creating a stable interface that improves control on rough terrain while maintaining efficient power transfer during hard efforts.
Crankbrothers' proven four-sided entry system allows riders to clip in quickly from virtually any angle, making engagement intuitive and dependable whether sprinting away from a start line, navigating technical terrain, or remounting during a gravel event. The open wing design also excels at clearing mud and debris, ensuring consistent performance in challenging conditions.
The Candy 7 takes customization a step further with integrated traction pad technology. Included 1mm traction pads optimize the shoe-to-pedal interface, reducing unwanted movement and creating a more secure connection between rider and bike. Riders can further fine-tune the fit with optional 2mm pads, allowing for a highly personalized feel. Ribbed pedal surfaces improve grip when unclipped, while chamfered body edges and an integrated bashguard help minimize damage from rock strikes and trail impacts.
Internally, the Candy 7 utilizes a premium bearing system featuring an Igus LL-glide inner bearing and an Enduro MAX cartridge outer bearing protected by a double-seal system. Forged SCM 435 chromoly steel spindles, stainless steel springs, and durable alloy endcaps ensure smooth operation and long-lasting performance.
Weighing just 320 grams per pair and backed by a five-year warranty, the Candy 7 is built for riders seeking a highly tunable pedal with race-level performance and trail-proven durability.
The Crankbrothers Candy 7 Clip-In Pedals are premium off-road pedals that combine customizable fit, lightweight construction, and dependable four-sided engagement for gravel, XC, and trail riding.
