Insight Du Thermoplastic Pro Platform Pedals 9/16

Insight DU Thermoplastic Pro Platform Pedals – 9/16″

The Insight DU Thermoplastic Pro platform pedals use a dual bushing system and thermoplastic body to deliver a lightweight, affordable pedal without sacrificing grip or durability. Featuring a combination of metal threaded pins, molded plastic pins, and embossed traction pods, these pedals provide consistent foot retention across all riding styles. At 350 grams per pair with a CNC-machined chromoly axle, the DU pedals balance weight savings with the strength needed for street, park, and race use.

Key Features

• Dual LSL Bushing System – Two lightweight self-lubricating bushings replace traditional sealed bearings, reducing weight, overall pedal height, and cost while maintaining smooth rotation and durability
• Thermoplastic Body with Multi-Surface Traction – Impact-resistant plastic platform keeps weight low; combination of metal threaded pins, permanent molded plastic pins, and embossed traction pods creates a velcro-like grip that holds shoes without relying solely on metal pins
• CNC-Machined Chromoly Axle (9/16″) – Heat-treated chromoly spindle provides strength and thread durability for repeated pedal installation and removal; 9/16″ threading fits standard 3-piece cranks
• Pro Platform Size (103mm × 113mm) – Large surface area distributes foot pressure evenly and provides stable footing for technical tricks, hard landings, and aggressive pedaling
• 350g Per Pair – Lightweight construction reduces rotational weight for faster acceleration and easier bike control during tricks

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These pedals fit 3-piece cranks with standard 9/16″ threads, which are found on most modern BMX bikes (not compatible with 1-piece cranks that use 1/2″ pedals). Best suited for riders who want a lightweight, grippy platform pedal at an accessible price point. The LSL bushing system makes these pedals ideal for riders who prioritize low weight and reduced pedal height over sealed bearing longevity, though the self-lubricating bushings still provide reliable performance for regular use. The multi-surface traction design works well across street, park, flatland, and race applications where consistent foot grip matters. Available in eight color options for riders who want to match their bike's aesthetic.
