About a year ago we got our first set of Bontrager Line Elite pedals. They were the first nylon pedals we had tested from the brand and ended up having some issues. We contacted Bontrager, found out they’d had some issues with the early pedals and made some revisions for future pedals. Fast forward to now and they’ve quickly become some of our favorite pedals and regularly get passed around from bike to bike. It seems the changes made have indeed created a much more durable and quality pedal.

THE LAB
The Bontrager Line Elite flat pedals are made of a durable nylon with a slightly textured surface. Traction comes in the form of ten replaceable steel pins with added grip coming from the diamond pattern cut into the platform.

The Line Elite pedals are built around a durable axle that spins on sealed cartridge bearings. The platforms themselves measure in at 98mm by 98mm providing ample room for most shoe sizes. Weight for these $49.99 pedals is 354.6 grams. Bontrager offers the Line Elite pedals in five different satin-finished colors.
