Burgtec Penthouse MK5 Flat Pedals Item # 2094924
Description
Bigger, grippier, lighter and as tough as ever. The Penthouse Flat MK5 pedal is here!
Burgtec didn't stop to think about the future when their journey started some 17 years ago on the slopes of Schladming in '03. The prototype MK1 Penthouse Flat that debuted that weekend inevitably paved the way for the MK2 in '07, the MK3 in '09 and the MK4 in '14. While much has changed in that time, their focus towards building the toughest and grippiest flat pedals on the market remains the same.
Burgtec's goals for the MK5 mountain bike pedals followed the same design and development path as every other pedal before it; utilise any advances in materials and manufacturing, balance the weight and durability, and maximise the amount of grip. From the MK4 to the MK5, we shed 65 grams per pair. The platform footprint was increased by 7%, the dish by 1 mm and the pin width was decreased by 0.5 mm.
It was of the utmost importance that the MK5's internals represents the best of the best. To do this Burgtec specced the most wear-resistant bushings from Igus. Their "Endurance Runner" material - W300 - was a clear winner as this gave unrivalled resistance to external influences. Mud and water ingress is kept at bay with a full-contact oil seal. This keeps grease in and contaminants out even in the harshest of conditions. This configuration of quality parts is why the Penthouse series has a reputation for outstanding longevity.
