VP-R73 Pedals

This is the season you're finally going to make the leap to clipless. After a few tumbles in the grass as you get a feel for that twist-and-release motion, you'll be an old pro before summer's end, and you'll be enjoying the speedier splits to prove it. When choosing from a pile of entry level pedal options, look to the VP-R73 if traditional metal construction and longevity are important factors to you.

Made with an aluminum body and solid steel spindle, the VP-R73 boasts a more traditional construction than others in its class. While other manufacturers have begun swapping metal for plastic to drop grams and lower production costs, VP has stubbornly stuck with materials that will see you through seasons of heavy use. While you may have to accept a slight weight penalty other options, those early tumbles will pose less of a threat to your pedals' long lifespan.
