Product Information
Full details
The Hope Union Gravity Pedals are designed for aggressive mountain bikers and downhill riders who demand superior stability and reliable clip-in performance. These pedals offer an excellent power transfer through a large, CNC-machined platform and a consistent dual-sided engagement mechanism; however, riders who prioritize ultra-lightweight setups may find the 498g weight slightly heavier than minimalist cross-country options.

FAQs
Are these pedals suitable for beginner riders?
Yes, the dual-sided entry makes them easy to learn on, though they are specifically engineered for the rigors of gravity and enduro mountain biking.
Can I use these with any mountain bike cleat?
No, you must use the specific cleats provided by Hope, which are designed to interface correctly with the Union pedal mechanism.
How often should I service the bearings?
Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but inspecting them every 6-12 months is recommended for riders in wet or muddy climates.
Do the replaceable pins damage my shoes?
The pins provide significant grip; however, they can cause wear on the soles of shoes with softer rubber compounds.
What is the weight of the pedals?
The pedals weigh from 498g per pair, reflecting their heavy-duty construction.
Troubleshooting
Difficult to clip in
Check if the cleat is clogged with mud or debris and verify the cleat bolts are tightened to the correct torque on your shoe.
Pedal feels gritty or stiff
Inspect the cartridge bearings for contamination; you may need to clean and re-grease the internal components.
Excessive movement in the pedal body
Tighten the pedal axle assembly or replace the norglide bush if wear is present.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rugged CNC-machined body handles heavy trail abuse
- Dual-sided engagement for intuitive clipping
- Large platform provides excellent foot support

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Hope Union Gravity pedals, install them using an 8mm hex key, ensuring the threads are greased before installation. The 55mm Q-factor provides a standard stance width compatible with most modern cranksets. To maintain the pedals, regularly inspect the bearing tension and clear debris from the clip-in mechanism using a soft brush or air compressor. If you notice any play in the axle, the pedal is fully rebuildable, and you can replace the cartridge bearings and norglide bush using genuine Hope service kits to return the pedals to factory-smooth performance.
