The Stages Pedal Upgrade is a commercial-duty indoor cycle pedal designed to replace the original Stages SPD/toe cage pedal with a stronger, smoother, and more versatile SPD & LOOK Delta compatible pedal.

Sold as a pair. Includes one left pedal and one right pedal.

Designed for riders using SPD or LOOK Delta cycling shoes.

Built on the proven Exustar PS8 pedal platform, this upgrade is ideal for Stages SC1, SC2, and SC3 owners who want a durable pedal system built for high-use studio and home indoor cycling environments.

Commercial Pedal Upgrade for Stages Indoor Cycles

The original Stages pedal is a basic dual-function SPD/toe cage pedal. While functional, it is one of the most common wear items on Stages indoor cycles, especially in commercial studios where pedals are exposed to high cadence, rider torque, sweat, and repeated cleat engagement.

The Stages Pedal Upgrade provides a meaningful improvement by replacing the original SPD/toe cage design with a dedicated dual-interface pedal featuring:

• Shimano SPD compatibility on one side
• LOOK Delta compatibility on the opposite side
• Commercial-duty construction for studio and home use
• Sealed bearing design for smooth rotation
• Adjustable release tension
• Standard 9/16" pedal threads
• Sold as a pair: left and right pedal included

Original Stages Pedal vs. Stages Pedal Upgrade

Compatible with Stages SC1, SC2 & SC3

This pedal upgrade fits Stages indoor cycles utilizing standard 9/16" crank arms, including:

• Stages SC1 Indoor Cycles
• Stages SC2 Indoor Cycles
• Stages SC3 Indoor Cycles

While designed as our preferred upgrade for Stages indoor cycles, the Exustar PS8 is also compatible with most indoor cycles utilizing standard 9/16" pedal threads.

SPD & LOOK Delta Compatible Indoor Cycle Pedal

The Exustar PS8 is designed for riders and facilities that want true dual-cleat compatibility without relying on a toe cage. One side accepts Shimano SPD cleats while the opposite side accepts LOOK Delta cleats.

This makes the PS8 an excellent choice for studios, gyms, and home riders seeking improved durability, smoother engagement, and support for the two most common indoor cycling cleat systems.

• SPD-compatible clip-in side
• LOOK Delta-compatible clip-in side
• No toe cage required
• Secure cleat engagement
• Adjustable release tension

Built for Commercial Indoor Cycling

Indoor cycling pedals experience constant stress from seated climbs, standing efforts, high-cadence riding, repeated clipping in and out, and sweat exposure. Lower-quality pedals can develop bearing play, inconsistent retention, thread damage, or premature failure.

The Exustar PS8 is built for demanding indoor cycling environments with:

• Sealed bearings for smooth, consistent rotation
• Oversized chromoly spindle for strength
• Corrosion-resistant construction
• Durable pedal body designed for indoor cycling use
• Commercial-duty performance for studios and serious home riders
