HT Components X3 DH/Enduro Clipless Pedals
Maximum Platform. Secure Engagement. Built for Gravity Racing.
The HT Components X3 DH/Enduro Clipless Pedals are purpose-built for riders tackling steep downhill tracks, demanding enduro stages and repeated bike park laps. Their large, low-profile platform combines the security of HT’s clipless system with the stability and shoe support needed for riding rough terrain at speed.
A CNC-machined 6061 aluminium body, robust CrMo spindle and five replaceable pins per side create a durable pedal with a secure, planted feel. Adjustable release tension allows the engagement to be tailored to individual riders and riding conditions.
Maximum Platform Support
The large 85 × 90mm platform supports more of your shoe than a compact trail or XC pedal. This spreads pressure more evenly across the sole and creates a stable connection when braking hard, landing jumps or riding through rough rock gardens.
The surrounding platform also provides useful support when restarting on steep terrain or when the cleat has not fully engaged.
Secure, Adjustable Engagement
HT’s exclusive retention system provides positive engagement and predictable release. Adjustable spring tension allows you to choose between easier entry and release or a firmer connection for downhill racing and aggressive riding.
The X3 uses HT’s exclusive X1E, X1, X1F, X2 and X3 cleat system and is not compatible with Shimano SPD cleats.
Additional Shoe Traction
Five replaceable grip pins on each side increase contact between the pedal and your shoes. They improve support while clipped in and provide additional traction during hurried or imperfect engagements.
Because the pins are individually replaceable, grip can be restored without replacing the entire pedal body.
Low Profile for Better Clearance
The 14mm pedal body and 14.25mm stack height position your feet close to the axle for a direct and controlled feel. The slim construction also provides better clearance through rocks, roots and deep trail ruts, helping reduce pedal strikes.
Built for Hard Riding
The extruded and CNC-machined 6061 aluminium body delivers the strength required for gravity riding and repeated impacts. A CNC-machined CrMo spindle provides a durable core suited to downhill, enduro, bike park and eMTB use.
Smooth, Durable Bearings
Sealed bearings and two IGUS bushings provide smooth rotation while protecting the internal components from dirt, dust and moisture. The durable bearing arrangement is designed for dependable performance through regular riding and changing trail conditions.

Our Thoughts on the HT Components X3
The HT Components X3 is an excellent option for gravity riders who find compact clipless pedals too small or unsupportive. Its broad platform creates a stable connection with the bike, while the low stack height helps deliver a direct and controlled feel.
At 476g per pair with the front plates fitted, the X3 prioritises strength, support and confidence over outright low weight. For downhill, enduro and bike park riding, that is a sensible trade-off.
