Product Information
Full details
The Leatt CeraMAG Gravity 8.0 Pedals are designed for gravity-focused cyclists seeking lightweight yet robust pedals with excellent shoe support and reliable engagement. Their key benefit is the combination of a featherlight ceramic-coated magnesium body with a durable chromoly steel axle and a high-performance triple-bearing system. A potential consideration is that the dual-sided clip-in system requires compatible SPD cleats.

FAQs
What type of cleats are compatible with these pedals?
The Leatt CeraMAG Gravity 8.0 pedals are compatible with standard SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) cleats.
How much do these pedals weigh?
The pedals weigh approximately 209.5 grams per pedal, for a total of 419 grams per pair.
Can I adjust the entry and release tension?
Yes, the pedals feature an easy-to-read tension adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the spring tension for customized entry and release.
What does the EFBE EPAC Gravity TRI-TEST® standard mean?
This certification indicates that the pedals have been rigorously tested and meet high safety and performance standards specifically for gravity cycling disciplines (Category 5).
Are traction plates and pins included?
The product description mentions a 'Traction plate and pins option' for customizing traction when disengaged. These may be sold separately or as part of a specific package, and are not guaranteed to be included by default.
How do I clean and maintain the pedals?
Clean the pedals with water and mild soap, using a soft brush. Avoid high-pressure washing near the bearings. Regularly inspect for damage and ensure seals are intact. Professional servicing may be needed for bearing issues.
What is the benefit of the large platform?
The large platform provides enhanced shoe support, leading to improved control and more efficient power transfer, especially beneficial in demanding gravity riding.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in or out.
Check cleat alignment and condition on your shoes. Ensure the pedal retention tension is adjusted to your preference. Clean any debris from the pedal's binding mechanism and the cleat.
Pedal feels gritty or stiff.
This may indicate contamination in the bearings. Clean the exterior thoroughly. If the issue persists, professional servicing of the bearing system may be necessary.
Excessive play or wobble in the pedal.
This could be due to loose bearings or spindle. Check if the pedal is securely threaded into the crank arm. If it remains wobbly, the internal bearings may need adjustment or replacement by a qualified mechanic.
Pedal is not engaging with the cleat.
Verify that you are using SPD-compatible cleats and that they are correctly installed on your shoes. Ensure the pedal tension is not set too high for your cleat/shoe combination.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at only 419 grams per pair.
- Durable construction with ceramic-coated magnesium and chromoly steel.
- Reliable engagement and release due to adjustable tension and quality bearings.
- Enhanced control and power transfer from the large platform.
- Excellent protection against water and debris with quad seals.
- Certified to a high-standard gravity test.
Cons
- Requires compatible SPD cleats.
- Traction plate and pins are an optional add-on for customization, not included by default.
- Magnesium construction may be less resilient to direct impacts compared to steel in extreme circumstances.
- Serviceability, while present, requires specific knowledge for optimal maintenance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Ensure you have compatible SPD cycling shoes with cleats installed.
- Thread the pedals into the crank arms. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread (lefty-tighty) and the right pedal has a standard thread (righty-tighty).
- Use an appropriate pedal wrench or Allen key (depending on the pedal spindle) to tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
- Adjust the retention system tension using the Allen key slot on the front of the pedal body to achieve your desired entry and release force. A lower setting is easier to clip into and out of, while a higher setting provides more secure retention.
Compatibility
- Cleats: Compatible with standard SPD cleats.
- Shoes: Requires cycling shoes designed for clipless pedals with SPD cleat mounting.
- Crank Arms: Standard 9/16" pedal thread.
Care
- Cleaning: Clean the pedals regularly with water and mild soap. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from crevices. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the bearings.
- Lubrication: The bearings are sealed, but periodically check for smooth rotation. If resistance is felt, professional servicing may be required.
- Inspection: Inspect the pedal body, spindle, and bearings for any damage before each ride. Check that the quad seals are intact to maintain protection.
