The VirtuFit Universal SPD Duo Pedals are a great choice for ambitious athletes looking to improve their cycling performance. On one side, there is a toe-clip, and on the other, an SPD mechanism that allows you to clip in with cycling shoes. These pedals are ideal for anyone considering SPD for the first time and not ready to fully commit, as well as for those who simply want high-quality pedals. The solid iron VirtuFit Universal SPD Duo Pedals are built for intensive use and are meticulously finished. These SPD Duo pedals fit any bike or indoor cycle with a 14 mm pedal connection.
Safety
The toe-clip side of the VirtuFit SPD Duo Pedals is a flat pedal with a durable plastic "cage" to keep your foot securely in place. The cage consists of two clips with a bridge for added reinforcement. When your foot is in the toe-clip, you can tighten it with the foot strap at the end. This ensures that any shoe can fit into the VirtuFit toe-clip. This design allows you to both push and pull on the pedals, enabling more efficient energy use and better performance. Additionally, the VirtuFit toe-clip makes it nearly impossible to slip off the pedal during an intense cycling session. While the anti-slip profile on the pedal may not be necessary for most, it demonstrates how far VirtuFit goes in designing these pedals.
SPD System
On the SPD side of the VirtuFit pedals, you’ll find the familiar clip-in system. A metal cleat attached to the bottom of a cycling shoe clicks securely into this mechanism. Once clipped in, you can not only push but also pull on the pedals, much like with a toe-clip. The SPD system is widely used in cycling and road biking, as well as in mountain biking and occasionally even for regular road cycling. Toe-clips are rarely used outside of indoor cycling, as SPD offers much greater freedom. You can easily unclip your foot by twisting your heel. Many cyclists who have tried SPD never want to go on a long ride without it again. The SPD mechanism of the VirtuFit pedals is universal and compatible with all major SPD brands.
The thread size is 14 mm.
