RaceFace Chester Pedals: Take Your Mountain Biking to the Next Level

Tiffany: We needed to swap out the pedals on my 13 year old’s mountain bike for his competitions. These added a bit of color for fun, and do really well gripping. He wears actual mountain biking shoes with them and there have been no problems with slipping. This is the second time we have purchased these pedals for one of our bikes.

MarcusMarcus: So far I like the brand, initial quality, and availability. Bad return policy, charging almost $6 for returns in a case where I didn't use product and I feel it's a matter of advertising vs my willy nilly return habits.

I'm being picky here, but the blue color didn't match the way I wished for my Trek accent color.

I have a red pair for another bike and those are almost brick or blood red. Buying local was good in that case and I think were the exact same price.

Sharing picture and return policy in case it helps you.

Faith siplesFaith siples: These Raceface Chester pedals are solid! I would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a guaranteed no slip pedal. Super grippy and well built. I will not hesitate to buy another set for my other bike.

Amazon Customer: Cant fault them perfect for the money. As it's a hardy plastic instead of alley they also don't wear or scratch/paint wear. So always remain asteticly pleasing.

HG: Purchased to add to commuter bike, the increased surface area pins make the bike a lot easier to ride than with the stock pedals. Really easy to install and a reasonable price.

Obi WanObi Wan: I just bought a second set of Chester Race Face pedals after loving the first set so much. (For a second bike...not to like...have one set on the bike and one set in the wash or something_

I like platforms over clipless but the Race Face gives you the best of both worlds. They hold your shoes like glue when you have pressure on them. You WILL NOT slip off of them. Period. Softer rubber soles work better than hard rubber. (That newer foam sole stuff is too soft, the pins in the Chester pedals will chew them up)

I don't care if it's rainy, muddy, icy, or what. Your foot will not slip off of these.

But you can easily lift your foot up without resistance when you need to get off the pedals fast. They won't penetrate your shoes and hold them. Your foot is free to move when you want it but is locked to the pedal when you don't.

They spin nicely with little resistance. They take a hit against rocks and curbs well. And when you do scrape one it doesn't show because they are colored plastic so the abrasion is the same color as the pedal surface.

I've clobbered the pins into curbs and they get scraped up, but don't break off.

I'm...

Chris/Kristine: I bought my first expensive ($3k+) new bike and didnt want the $4 pedals they put on them at the shop. The bike shop showed me a few of their pedals but most were $150 or more. I figured I'm buying an expensive bike, I need to cut cost somewhere. I looked on Amazon and found these Race Face pedals. I was worried they'd feel cheap when I got them but to my surprise they are excellent pedals. I've ridden demo bikes with metal pedals similar to these but I think I actually prefer these Race Face composite pedals over super expensive metal pedals. I stay firmly planted on my bike even on rough trails, they seem to be pretty light weight and have survived several pedal strikes on rocks and roots. I'm now looking at a second pair for my new road/fitness bike. I ordered the black pedals but I love the color options for matching them to your bike's color scheme. I think I'll go blue for the road bike. Pick these up!
