The Crank Brothers Candy 3 is a durable pedal and can handle the occasional pedal strike on roots, rocks and other obstacles on the trail. This pedal is stronger to others thanks to a stainless steel perimeter on the body of the pedal. The Candy 3 still features all of the well known characteristics such as four sided entry, the notorious mud shedding design and a large platform that contacts the bottom of your shoe. The larger platform also gives you more grip on the pedal when the conditions get muddy and wet. No matter if you are an XC rider, enduro or cyclocross rider, the Crank Brothers Candy 3 will get the job done.
