Product Information
Full details
The DMR VMAX Pedals are engineered for aggressive trail riders and competitive racers who demand a secure, SPD-compatible connection without sacrificing platform support. These pedals provide superior power transfer and stability through a wide, low-profile CNC-machined body, though their robust construction adds slightly more weight compared to minimalist XC-focused clipless pedals.

FAQs
Are these pedals compatible with standard Shimano SPD cleats?
Yes, the DMR VMAX Pedals are designed to be fully compatible with standard SPD-style mountain bike cleats.
Can I replace the traction pins?
Yes, the pins are removable and replaceable if they become damaged or if you prefer to ride without them.
How often should I service the bearings?
Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but we recommend checking for play or roughness once every season for riders in dry climates or more frequently for those in wet, muddy areas.
Do these pedals come with cleats?
Yes, the pedals typically include a set of compatible cleats for immediate installation.
What is the weight per pair?
The DMR VMAX Pedals weigh 467g per pair.
Can these be used for road cycling?
While they are optimized for aggressive trail and mountain use, they can technically be used on road bikes if you are using SPD-compatible shoes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty engaging or releasing the cleat
Adjust the tension screw on the back of the pedal to loosen or tighten the spring force as needed.
Excessive grit or noise during rotation
Clean the pedal exterior with a soft brush and water; if noise persists, check the seal integrity or refresh the internal grease.
Pedal feels loose on the crank arm
Ensure the threads were cleaned and greased upon installation, then re-tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality CNC-machined 6061 aluminium durability
- Excellent platform stability for aggressive riding
- Adjustable entry and release tension for personalized feel
- Fully serviceable and sealed bearing system

- Serviceable components require routine maintenance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you use a standard pedal wrench or an 8mm hex key. Note that the left-hand pedal is reverse-threaded, so turn it counter-clockwise to install. To set up, adjust the tension screw located on the rear of the pedal mechanism to your preferred engagement strength. Maintenance should include periodic checks of the cleat cages for wear. Because of the fully sealed bearing system, the pedals require minimal intervention, but you should clear mud from the springs after particularly wet rides to ensure smooth entry. If you notice any lateral play, the internals are fully serviceable to keep the rotation smooth and precise.
