Internal Specifications- Unique axle system, with patent pending servicing technology.
The patent pending technology uses the axle to remove and install the Igus bush, without the need for specialist tools.
• Only tools needed;
- 6mm hex-key
- 8mm hex-key
- Standard 8mm socket
- Torque wrench
- Mallet
• High-grade chromoly axle.
• Full-width axle, with three outboard cartridge bearings. Two smaller and one larger bearing, which we were able to package in the larger area of the outer pedal body.
• Extra wide, inboard Igus bushing
• Inboard, full-contact wiper seal and an outboard o-ring seal on the end cap.
Design RationaleAs a key contact point, the level of performance of the pedal and rider choice needed to align with our renowned handlebar, stem and grip range. Obviously making the pedal as durable as possible was a massive driver behind our design rationale.
As always, from the outset, we wanted to make the lightest product possible. But, with the Revo-F project, we refused to compromise our design goals just to chase a few grams. To explain these key features;
• To give the ultimate control, we added material to develop a genuine, deep concave body.
• Having a fully usable pedal platform was achieved by increasing the axle length of the Revo-F, to offset the pedal from the crank.
• Rock strike durability of the bearings was improved with our full-length axle, which is essential for flat pedals.
• To improve rock strike performance, keeping the front face of the pedal smooth, to slide over rocks, rather than grabbing at them is an important feature, not to be forgotten.
• Long-term durability of the internals is essential and the inclusion of an extra-long Igus bush and three cartridge bearings, coupled with a fully sealed design has achieved this.
Packaged into this seemingly simple product, the unique features of the Revo-F deliver the highest performance on the trail, tuneable grip level, ease of maintenance and bomb-proof durability.
