Best known for their high end aftermarket motorcycle exhaust systems, Yoshimura are branching out into the mountain bike world with a new line of flat pedals. The Chilao pedals (the name comes from a Southern California riding spot) began as a passion project, as several of Yoshimura’s employees ride both mountain bikes and motorcycles.
