Brompfication QR Platform Pedals (Ultra light weight)

Brompfication offers Ultra light weight QR Platform Pedals. They are suitable for use with Brompton Bikes. You can reduce the weight by approx. 225 grams from the original pair. The price is about 150 US dollars, which means 6.7 cents per gram. Isn't it reasonable in order to reduce total weight of the bike compared with other parts ?

Brompfication QR Platform Pedals 
The pedal body is extruded and CNC machined in magnesium, and then powder coated black. With a platform that are 75 mm long by 65 mm wide, the pedal is inherently light weight, but the platform is still large enough to provide a stable grip for your foot. Titanium are used for the coupling and 7075 aluminium for the sleeve - spring and balls are made from stainless steel. This pedal will save you 225 grams over the original Brompton folding pedal.
A sealed bearing and a PU bushing are used to keep the pedal spinning smoothly. Additional seals are installed on either end of the pedal body to keep dirt and moisture out.
Weight: 175 grams/pair Platform size: 75mm x 65mm

The pedal platforms are made of magnesium. Ultra light weight.

Easy to install. Just use 8 mm Hex wrench.

Right pedal is quick release. Titanium are used for the coupling. The sleeve is made of 7075 aluminium.

Just one click to use like this. No tool is needed.


Left pedal is not removable as the original equipped one is.

I equip the pair with my S2L today and plan to improve the result at the Mt. Fuji Hillclimb race scheduled in next June.
