Weird Foot-Pegs At INDY SX

I believe he is talking about faster sweeping rough or sandy turns while standing. I had that conversation with someone at sometime, but have not actually watched the video in a while. I will when I get a chance to see who you are talking about. At any rate, I make no promises with regard to performace. I built them to keep you from trashing your ankles and so that you would feel them as little as possible. I believe they do that. As with any product, they are not for everyone. However, the list of riders using them is growing very fast I am happy to say

You going to St. Louis? I'm skipping out on Dallas.

Ankle savers "help keep your weight on the outside peg"??? How is that?

I want to try some. I strained/tore my calf muscle and it is a brutally slow recovery. I think that I could ride with these and not hyper flex my ankle and stretch my calf. For a buck fifty I think I might order a set.

the only thing I can figure on that is that they provide a more stable platform so it would be easier to really rely on standing hard on the outside peg.

I saw the new design a couple days ago, and they look sweet.

I now have a set mounted on a '98 YZ400f. "Way back" I did injure my ankle doing exactly what these pegs are designed to prevent. What I have found since I "over rotated" back then is I find myself always "figiting" or "searching" on the peg until I get my foot in the right spot - it's kinda hard to explain but there was just a bit of apprehension because my feet didn't want to stay where my brain would tell them too.

Anyway, the first thing you naturally do with these things is jump on the bike with it still on the stand to see how they feel. And when you rock back and forth you feel a kind of "progression" as the feet put more weight on the rearward part. It's almost like feeling some mud on the bottom of your boot - you can feel it there, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I run the +50 class and this week finally raced with these pegs installed. My #1 thing to say is I completely forgot they were there! Transparent is the word that came to mind later. As far as how I ride, I am not a jumper or blitzer but the bike does move around a lot under me. At no time did I even feel the things there - and for me that was a very good thing. They were doing thier job and letting me ride. One other thing I remember is that my feet seamed less "jittery" finding location on the peg. It was a natural fit (for me) but still far enough away to not interfere with the movement of me and the bike.

Good idea, but i wouldnt run them. Starts would be werid with those....

What a great idea.

Starts were no problem. I'm a "two feet down" starter and cleared the peg with no contact.
