Product Information
Full details
The DMR VMAX pedals are designed for aggressive mountain bikers and racers who require a secure, high-performance clip-in interface for the roughest terrain. These pedals excel by offering a wide, stable platform that provides excellent foot support and improved ground clearance, though riders accustomed to pure gravity flat pedals may initially find the engagement mechanism requires a period of familiarization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the VMAX pedals, use an 8mm hex wrench to secure them to your crank arms, ensuring you observe the specific left and right threading. Ensure you are using high-quality SPD-compatible cleats on your footwear. Use the adjustment screws on the pedal mechanism to fine-tune your release tension based on your preference; start with a lighter setting until you are confident with your clipping movement. For maintenance, periodically check the removable pins and replace them if they become damaged. The internal bearing system is designed to be serviced; if you notice play or resistance, inspect the seals and refresh the grease to keep the pedals spinning smoothly.
