VP Components VP Vice Flat Pedal
The Good

cheap, lots of pins

The Bad

no concavity

Overall Review
Have ridden these pedals for 2 seasons on all-mountain trails with no issues. I only ride couple times a week max, but they have held up through all sorts of conditions and no signs of any re-build as of yet. I have replaced a few pins due to mild wear and some rock strikes, but no structural issues. They have a pretty good sized footprint for myself (size 10.5 US shoe), and the only thing I wish it had was a little bit of concavity to it. If it did I'm sure it would be bulletproof in all conditions.

VP Components VP Vice Flat Pedal
The Good

Cheap, Solid construction, Durable Bearings, Thin For the price

The Bad

Pins wear quickly, No gripping shape to pedal, Small for big footed people, Not the grippiest pedal out there

Overall Review
This past season, I put 3.5 months of the VP Vice on test at mammoth bike park, with other parks ridden as well. The bike was a Commencal Furious, and the shoe I wore was a Specialized 2FO (last years model) Now VP makes tons of pedals. TONS. they have the manufacturing background and capabilities to make a solid platform pedal, while reducing costs. Now these pedals aren’t “free range, Non-GMO and raised without antibiotics,” but they are cheap. And when you’re looking to upgrade from the plastic wellgos to a decent pair of flats, these are what you need. Shop around, but I got mine for $45...

VP Components VP-VX Clipless Pedal
The Good

Solid engagement with pronounced "click", holds up well to rock strikes. decent sale price

The Bad

Heavy, screws that hold on stationary part of the binding come loose and fall out

Overall Review
Overall a pretty nice pedal, and a decent alternative to Shimanopedals in terms of price. I bought these from Jenson for $25 which is a similar price to Shimano's M520 pedals. I think the pedal has a nice look to it, and they feel super solid in your hand. They are pretty heavy though, but do not feel a lotdifferent than a Shimano pedal in terms of weight. The tension adjustability is nice, I like my pedal tension pretty tight and these allowed for that no problem. They came with their own set of cleats, that are very similar to Shimano cleats, but I left my Shimano cleats on and they worked...

VP Components VP-Harrier Flat Pedal
The Good

This pedal is one of the biggest on the market. I have a size 12 1/2 shoe so this pedal is a nice change from the norm. With the larger platform I'm less worried about getting my feet just in the right place. 2 different types of pins, tons of grip. I personally really like puns in the center of a...

The Bad

Not as many color options as other pedals but that's the only downside. If you have smaller feet you may choose a different pedal.

Overall Review
Just a great pedal! Durable large platform with a good ammount of pins for grip. Thin profile, strong frame, great for all types of riding. Buying a 2nd set in the near future.

VP Components VP-Aim Flat Pedal
Vital Review
Overall Review
Review by Nick Zuzelski // Action photo by Carl Gray Flat pedals come in all shapes and sizes these days, and almost every model boasts some feature that sets them apart. Those features will cost you a pretty penny, however. After having lots of luck with VP's higher end flat and clipless pedals in the past, we threw on a pair of their budget-minded Aim platforms and hit the trails.

VP Components VP-VX Adventure Race Clipless Pedal
Vital Review
Overall Review
by Nick Zuzelski VP Components has grown their VX pedal product line with the new Adventure Race pedal. Aimed at the enduro and gravity crowd, a larger platform offers more support and a larger landing pad for your foot when you clip out and need to get back on the pedals and put down some power as fast as possible. The increased platform is said to match up better with today's gravity and trail shoe designs using a SPD compatible binding design. After throwing these on the trail bike for a few months and getting a fair share of riding, racing and abuse in, we might not ever take them off! VX...

VP Components VP-Harrier Flat Pedal
Vital Review
Overall Review
Review by Ian Collins // Photos by Ian Collins and Fred Robinson (action) VP has been quietly cranking away in the pedal market with various designs at every price point for quite some time now. Despite their efforts, it's fair to say that they have yet to carve out a niche for themselves in the race to deliver a truly iconic place to rest your feet. Recently, they released the Harrier – a fully redesigned flat pedal that contrasts dramatically in both aesthetics and mechanical execution with past offerings from VP. A few months ago, I got my feet on a set and I went about giving them a proper...
