Those are pretty sweet. I'd rock Yosh parts on my Commencal.

The Yosh pedals are looking pretty sick. Oh and in one of the recent SML vids, you can see the owner of yosh assembling some pedals to get rdy for production.

Everything that company makes toes the line between outstanding manufacturing and outright ART.

Those pedals look incredible.

This doesn't mean much. These aren't being used in a weight weenie xc racing scenario and the other set mentioned kinda blow (imo).

The Stomps appear to be a forging (China?).

The Yosh's are Machined...in the USA.

I’m stuck with Race Face Chesters. $45.00. Nothing like these and I’m not saying they aren’t worth it. Just a fact of life.

Once you ride in these flats you’ll never go back. The platform is massive and super grippy. I tried them out once at the BMX track and bought a pair instantly. Feels like your riding clipless. Seen a lot of people at the BMX tracks in Nevada use them there. I hear MTBs like em too. For my road bike, I rock Shimano clipless.

Notice how I said “For reference”.... $30.00 difference in price isn’t much

I’m not trying to be a dick, but they don’t feel like clips at all. They are cool for practice to work on your skill, but you’ll get pulled down the front straight racing with them.

Purple ano is one of the sickest colors ever, but those aluminum pins are going to last about 4 rides before getting rounded off and then goodbye grip. Price wise, being made in the US they are not that much more than other North American products like Chromag. Still expensive though.

Nice looking pedals, I’d pay for those...

I paid $100 for a set of Shimano Saint pedals. They will serve the purpose, but far from the quality of the Yosh ones.
I have always run clip-ins, but had a rough time on a new area we are riding and had to push up sections and there were tight switch backs, with cliffs on one side. Sketchy... so I bought a set of pedals and a pair of MTB shoes. Have yet to try them, I’ve been riding my dirt bikes too much. Lol

I have yet to slip a pedal. Good enough for me. I meant they’re like clipless as in the grip is crazy almost feels like your feet are glued on, obviously riding clipless is different. Not trying to be a dick but getting pulled on the front straight isn’t a pedal issue

Man, you would love our Chilao Pedal. Its almost 150 grams lighter, has more grip and our spindle has resilience.
