Funn Taipan Nylon Flat Pedals
Big Platform. Dependable Grip. Excellent Value.
The Funn Taipan Nylon Flat Pedals provide the support and traction needed for confident mountain biking without the cost of an aluminium pedal. Their broad, concave platform helps position your feet securely, while a combination of moulded and replaceable pins provides dependable grip across changing trail conditions.
A glass-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic body keeps the pedals durable and reasonably light, while the CrMo axle and serviceable bearing system are designed for reliable long-term use.
Broad, Supportive Platform
The generous 105 × 100mm platform provides plenty of support beneath your shoes. Its concave profile naturally positions your feet towards the centre of the pedals, improving stability and comfort over rough terrain.
This broad shape makes the Taipan suitable for different shoe sizes and riding styles, from everyday trail riding to enduro and eMTB use.
Ten Pins per Side
Each side features four moulded pins and six replaceable alloy pins. Together, they create ten points of contact to help keep your feet planted through roots, rocks and braking bumps.
The alloy pins use rounded tips to provide useful traction while being less aggressive against your shins than sharper pin designs.
Slim 14mm Profile
At just 14mm thick, the Taipan places your feet close to the pedal axle for a stable and controlled feel. The slim body also improves ground clearance, helping reduce pedal strikes through technical trail sections.
Reinforced Composite Construction
The glass-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic body offers a practical balance of strength, impact resistance and affordability. It can handle regular trail use while avoiding the weight and cost associated with many aluminium pedals.
Strong, Serviceable Axle System
A CrMo axle provides strength through the centre of the pedal. A DU bushing and cartridge bearing deliver smooth rotation, while available service kits and replacement pins help extend the pedals’ usable life.
