Penthouse MK5 Flat Pedals - Steel Axles
BIGGER, GRIPPIER, LIGHTER AND AS TOUGH AS EVER, THE FIFTH GENERATION PENTHOUSE FLAT PEDAL IS HERE!
Burgtec's goals for the MK5 pedals followed the same design and development path as every other Penthouse Flat 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, they've shed 65 grams per pair, increased the platform footprint by 7%, the dish by 1mm and decreased the pin width by 0.5mm.
Weight: 379g (Steel Axle)
Platform material: 7075 Alloy
Profile: 15mm
Platform: 100mm x 102mm
Dish: 2mm (concave)
Pin material: Stainless steel
Pin width: 3.5mm
Pin height: 4.5mm
Axle Material: EN24T Steel
Internals: 2 x Igus W300 bushes, single sealed bearing and inboard rubber oil seal
Taking on feedback from the MK4 Burgtec tried a number of different Q-factors to balance the foot’s position in relation to the cranks. With every flat pedal shoe on the market at our disposal, they experimented with different platform sizes, pin widths, and pin heights to maximise grip underfoot.
It was of the utmost importance that the MK5’s internals represent the best of the best. To do this they spec'd 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.
