HT Components M2 XC Clipless Pedals
Lightweight Efficiency. Precise Engagement. Built for XC.
The HT Components M2 XC Clipless Pedals are designed for cross-country racers and performance-focused trail riders who value low weight, efficient power transfer and dependable engagement. Approved by multiple-time World Champion Nino Schurter, the M2 combines a compact CNC-machined aluminium body with HT’s exclusive clipless system.
Dual-sided entry makes clipping in quick and straightforward, while the open design clears mud and debris effectively. Adjustable release tension allows the engagement to be tailored to your preferences, whether you are racing, training or riding fast local trails.
Efficient Power Transfer
The compact platform creates a direct connection between your shoes and the bike. With a stack height of 15.6mm, the M2 positions your feet close to the pedal axle for efficient pedalling and a responsive feel when accelerating or climbing.
Fast, Dual-Sided Engagement
The dual-sided mechanism allows you to clip in from either side of the pedal. This makes engagement quicker after starts, dismounts and technical sections where finding the pedal without looking down can save valuable time.
Adjustable Retention
HT’s exclusive clipless system provides positive engagement and predictable release. Adjustable spring tension allows riders to choose between easier entry and release or a firmer connection suited to racing and aggressive riding.
The M2 uses HT’s exclusive X1E, X1, X1F and X3 cleat system and is not compatible with Shimano SPD cleats.
Designed to Clear Mud
The compact, open body gives mud, dirt and debris fewer places to collect. This helps maintain reliable engagement through wet race courses, muddy winter trails and changing riding conditions.
Lightweight Aluminium Construction
An extruded and CNC-machined aluminium body keeps weight to 305g per pair while providing the strength needed for racing and regular trail use. A CNC-machined CrMo spindle provides a durable core without unnecessary bulk.
Smooth, Low-Maintenance Performance
Sealed bearings and IGUS bushings provide smooth rotation while protecting the internal components from dirt and moisture. This durable arrangement keeps maintenance requirements low and supports consistent performance through regular riding and racing.
