"Platform height directly affects pedal strike frequency. Lower body, less carnage. When you're grinding out lap after lap on a course littered with rocks and roots, a pedal that sits 14.4mm off the crank face is going to save you more than a few choice words mid-ride. OneUp's ultra-thin profile keeps your foot closer to the axle centerline, which means more consistent power transfer on technical rocky climbs."
"Rather than just bolting on an off-the-shelf SPD mechanism and calling it a day, OneUp engineered its own binding system from scratch. The release-tension range is wider than on traditional SPD setups, and the cleat fit is noticeably more secure, especially during big doses of human wattage. The 12° release angle with 5° of float is a proven sweet spot: enough movement to keep your knees happy on long days, firm enough to keep you from accidentally releasing mid-sprint."
OneUp Components has developed XC Clip Pedals specifically engineered for cross-country mountain biking, prioritizing weight reduction and performance. At 303 grams per pair with a 26.8mm binding thickness, these pedals claim to be the market's thinnest dual-sided MTB clip pedals. The ultra-thin profile reduces pedal strike frequency on rocky terrain by sitting 14.4mm off the crank face, keeping the foot closer to the axle centerline for more consistent power transfer during technical climbs. OneUp engineered a custom SPD-compatible binding system from scratch rather than using off-the-shelf mechanisms, featuring a wider release-tension range and more secure cleat fit. The 12-degree release angle with 5 degrees of float balances knee comfort on long rides with security during high-power efforts, while integrated cleat ramps ensure consistent, predictable release.
