The HIVE
We’ve been buzzzzy
little bees designing this sweet little honey of a pedal (went
a little too far with this first sentence, I apologize). Using
our own custom extrusion and a CNC machine, we’ve created
a low profile pedal that is more than able to handle downhill
runs but also equally suited for DJ or aggressive all-mountain
riding. As with all of FireEye’s pedals for 2009, internals
consist of a heat-treated cromoly spindle and a dual sealed
bearing combination. One of the more distinguishing aspects
of this pedal is its aesthetics. The hexagonal holes are uniformly
machined straight through the pedal as to provide quick clearance
of dirt, mud, feathers, skin, or whatever you may be riding
through. Furthermore, it’s distinctive honeycomb design
also relieves excess weight while still retaining the pedals
strength and overall size of the contact surface. The 28 replaceable
traction pins per pedal provide secure footing but you’ve
got to watch out if they don’t fly up and sting you in
the ankles. Available in black, bronze,
and custom chrome
plated.
