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.
