What are the Candy C Pedals?
The Crank Brothers Candy C pedals are a reliable and light clipless bike pedal designed for all-round riding, including road.
Crank Brothers used the technology of the Eggbeater and added the small platforms to provide stability and making it easier to dismount often or to unclip on technical riding.
The simple and sturdy design of the stainless steel spring makes it easy to clip in, even in the muddiest conditions.

of and are great for those who haven't gone clipless before as well
as for the experienced clipless cycler.
Q: How are the Candy pedals at clearing mud?

as it allows the knee to move naturally during the pedalling
motion.

limited edition colours and not available in most stores. We were
lucky to get our hands on a few, but they're going fast!

Blue.
Expert Reviews
"The Candy does a good job of bringing Eggbeater technology to
trail riders... It's a simple pedal with a small platform - just
enough to add some stability when riding technical sections where
you may not be clipped in."

"On the market for a few years now, the Crank Brothers Candy C
pedals provide that little extra platform for those "just in case"
times when you can't get completely clipped in. They aren't as big
and beefy as the larger and more DH-friendly Mallet or Acid pedal
design, but they are perfect for all-around riding and even road
riding.
After using the Crank Brothers Mallet C pedals for two seasons, I
switched to the Candy's because they are lighter and better for
all-around riding. The design is small and light enough that I use
them on both my mountain and road bikes. I like having the same
type of platform regardless of the type of bike I'm riding, so
these are a great crossover pedal."
