Product Information
Full details
The LOOK Trail Grip pedals are designed for mountain bikers seeking enhanced control and security on challenging terrain. Featuring a unique Vibram rubber and composite stud design, they offer exceptional all-weather grip without damaging shoes or shins. While providing superb traction, their primary limitation is that they are specifically optimized for trail riding and may not suit riders looking for extreme downhill performance or a clipping-in system.

FAQs
Are these pedals suitable for road cycling?
The LOOK Trail Grip pedals are primarily designed for mountain biking and off-road use. While they can be used on a road bike, they are not optimized for road cycling performance and lack the efficiency of clipless road pedal systems.
What type of shoes work best with these pedals?
These pedals work best with flat-soled shoes, such as trail running shoes or dedicated flat MTB shoes. The Vibram inserts are designed to grip the rubber sole of these types of shoes effectively.
How do I clean the pedals?
Clean the pedals with a soft brush, water, and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-pressure water jets, which can damage the bearings.
Can I replace the Vibram inserts if they wear out?
Yes, the Vibram inserts are designed to be replaceable. You can purchase replacement inserts in various colors to refresh the look and grip of your pedals.
What is the weight of the LOOK Trail Grip pedals?
The LOOK Trail Grip pedals weigh approximately 265 grams per pair.
Are these pedals available in other colors besides Camo?
Yes, the LOOK Trail Grip pedals come with switchable inserts available in red, neon lime, black stealth, and camouflage mix, allowing you to customize the appearance.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram inserts?
The main advantage is the superior all-weather grip and durability provided by the specialized rubber compound and composite studs, offering a secure connection without damaging your shoes or shins.
Troubleshooting
Pedals feel loose or wobbly.
Ensure the pedals are securely tightened onto the crank arms. Check for any wear on the pedal threads or crank arm threads. If the issue persists, the pedal bearings may need adjustment or service.
Reduced grip from inserts.
The Activ Grip by Vibram inserts may be worn or contaminated with mud or debris. Clean the inserts thoroughly with water and a brush. If wear is visible, replace the inserts with new ones.
Pedal spins too freely or loosely.
This typically indicates that the pedal bearings are worn or have lost lubrication. The pedals may need to be serviced, which could involve tightening the bearing adjustment or replacing the bearings.
Difficulty swapping color inserts.
Ensure you are using the correct method for removal and installation. Sometimes a gentle twist or the use of a soft plastic tool can help dislodge or seat the inserts properly without damaging them.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional grip and security in various weather conditions.
- Protects shoes and shins from damage compared to metal pins.
- Durable construction suitable for demanding trail use.
- Customizable appearance with interchangeable color inserts.
- Smooth and reliable bearing system for consistent performance.
Cons
- Not a clipless pedal system, which may be preferred by some riders for maximum power transfer.
- The composite studs may offer less aggressive grip than sharp metal pins on extremely loose surfaces.
- Designed specifically for trail riding; may not be ideal for pure downhill or road cycling.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The LOOK Trail Grip pedals are designed to be mounted onto standard bicycle crank arms with a 9/16" thread. Use a pedal wrench or a 15mm wrench to install them, ensuring the right pedal is threaded clockwise and the left pedal counter-clockwise. The Vibram inserts are push-fit and can be swapped out with your fingers or a soft tool to change colors or switch to City inserts.
Compatibility: These pedals are compatible with most mountain bicycles (MTB). They are designed to work with a wide range of footwear, particularly trail running shoes and flat-soled MTB shoes. The hex grid base is also compatible with LOOK Activ Grip City inserts for alternative riding styles.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, regularly clean the pedals with water and a mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the bearings. Periodically check the inserts for wear and replace them if grip is compromised. Inspect bearings for smooth rotation and consider lubrication if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.
