ACID Flat A20 Pedaler

The Cube Acid Flat A20 pedals are specifically developed to deliver extraordinary grip and exceptional stability to the cyclist, regardless of the terrain. One of the most prominent features of these platform pedals is their large contact surface, which measures 115 x 100 mm. This wide platform ensures an optimal contact area for the foot, which is crucial for efficient power transfer from the legs to the bike, whether you are climbing steep hills or riding fast on flat stretches. To ensure that the foot stays securely on the pedal even under the most challenging conditions, the pedals are equipped with 12 replaceable pins on each side. These pins are strategically placed to bite into the sole of your cycling shoes or regular sneakers, effectively preventing the foot from slipping off in rainy or muddy conditions. Furthermore, the design of the pedal body is open, which has the great advantage that mud, dirt, and snow can easily fall through instead of accumulating on the surface. This self-cleaning design means that the grip remains constant and reliable throughout your bike ride. The low profile of only 18 mm brings the foot closer to the pedal axle, which gives a more direct feel with the bike and significantly improves balance. For mountain bikers, BMX riders, and trail enthusiasts, this means they can attack technical sections with maximum confidence, knowing that their foot position remains stable even when the bike bounces and dances over roots and stones.

The construction of the Cube Acid Flat A20 pedals is based on a combination of advanced materials and precision engineering to ensure both low weight and extremely high durability. The pedal body itself is made of high-quality aluminum, chosen for its ability to withstand the hard impacts and blows inevitably encountered from rocks and branches on the trail. The choice of aluminum also ensures that the total weight for a set is kept down to just 480 grams, which is ideal for riders who want to optimize their equipment's performance without adding unnecessary weight. At the heart of the pedal, you'll find an axle made of robust CrMo steel, which is an alloy of chromium and molybdenum. This material is known for its incredible strength and resistance to metal fatigue, allowing the pedals to handle a maximum system weight of up to 150 kg. To ensure smooth and friction-free rotation over time, the pedals are equipped with an advanced bearing construction that includes both LSL bushings and sealed industrial bearings. This combination protects the internal components against the ingress of water and dust, significantly extending the life of the pedals and reducing the need for maintenance. The chamfered edges on the aluminum body are a further technical detail designed to improve ground clearance in turns, avoiding the pedal hitting the ground when the bike is leaned into sharp curves. All in all, the choice of materials in the A20 model represents a perfect balance between lightweight design and mechanical robustness.

Safety and visibility are integrated into all aspects of the Cube Acid Flat A20 pedals' design, making them a safe choice for both off-road adventures and daily city riding. One of the most important safety features is the integrated reflectors, which are mounted on both the front and back of each pedal. These reflectors are not just loosely attached but are built directly into the pedal's structure, protecting them from being knocked off or damaged while riding in uneven terrain. The orange reflectors ensure that the cyclist is visible to other road users from multiple angles, especially in low-light conditions such as twilight, fog, or darkness, where the rotating reflectors create a clear visual marker of the bike's movement. In addition to visual safety, the pedal's physical design also contributes to rider safety. The 12 pins on each side ensure that the foot does not slip during sudden braking or quick maneuvers, which is essential for maintaining control of the bike in critical situations. The pedals are also classified as E-bike ready, meaning they are tested and approved to withstand the higher loads and torque generated by electric bikes. The robust construction with a CrMo steel axle and an aluminum body provides peace of mind that the equipment will not fail, even when subjected to maximum load. Whether used for technical mountain biking, where precision is paramount, or for daily commuting in traffic, where visibility is key, the Cube Acid Flat A20 delivers a combination of mechanical reliability and active safety features that protect the rider under all imaginable riding conditions.
