Built for riders who make the switch — and don’t look back.

The world’s first flat pedal with 8° of self-centering float for improved knee alignment, comfort, and control.

The 8 Degree X8-2 Series Floating Pedal is our large-platform model, designed to deliver a more natural, comfortable pedaling experience for riders who demand both performance and joint-friendly ergonomics. By allowing controlled rotational float, the X8-2 helps your feet move naturally through each pedal stroke — reducing knee strain, improving comfort, and enhancing overall control.

With its compact bearing housing and lower Q-factor, the X8-2 sits closer to the crank for a more efficient, stable ride feel. Factory-installed Super-Grip pins provide excellent traction, while the reversible pin design lets you customize grip height to match your riding style.

Advanced 8° Floating System

Experience smoother, more natural pedal strokes as the self-centering internal mechanism maintains proper biomechanical alignment of the foot, ankle, and knee — improving comfort and power transfer on every ride.
