Aerolite Road Titanium pedals

• At 74gr per pair, the Aerolite pedals are the lightest in the world, and cleats are also very light: 40gr per pair only!!
• They are the strongest pedals available, they have been measured to 3620 pounds (1640kgs) in a shear test. No rider weight limit.
• The lowest bearing friction is provided by the Turcite bearing.
• They have the safest exit method by foot supination, a natural ankle motion.
• Cleats are supplied (for 3 holes shoes)
• Aerolite pedals have no rotational float

In 1979, Roger Sanders, a physician’s assistant had purchased a tandem bicycle with the thought that his nine year old daughter would ride with him. However, he had a concern about her using the popular toe clip and strap connection to the pedals. In his work, he had seen the aftereffects of accidents where the bicycle riders couldn’t release from the pedals, causing significant injury.

With his desire and concern for his daughter’s safety, he designed the AeroLite clipless pedal system, consisting of a simple cylinder with a clip that wraps 304 degrees around it. Pulling straight up on the cleat, while pedaling engages the whole surface of the clip, requiring a pull of over 1300 pounds (600kgs) to release. With a natural rotation outward rotation of the ankle (supination), the clip is released a little at a time and the foot rolls off the pedal easily and naturally.

AeroLite pedals have technically evolved to today’s model, the lightest, strongest, lowest friction, and most importantly, the safest naturally releasing pedal on the market.

AeroLite products are made in the USA, totally of American materials. From the printing on the box, to the machining of the titanium spindles, everything is accomplished by American knowledge, labor and materials.

At a mere 37 grams each (approximately 1.2 oz) of rotating weight, Lite pedals by AeroLite use less physical energy. The pedal is constructed of aerospace grade titanium 6A-4V, and Turcite®. The bearing surface is then  hand finished. This pedal is also the strongest on the market.

The  cleat is designed of DuPont Zytel® ST nylon and is formed to wrap around the pedal with a maximum of 1320 pounds (600kgs) of tension to keep you attached to the pedal until you are ready  to get out. When you want out, just lift the inside edge of your foot  and you are out.
