Funn FunndamentalFunn's new pedal combined rider feedback with the desire to create a pedal at an accessible price. The updated Fundamental is the result and it features a revised pin layout with two different types of pins for the greatest possible grip. The pedals weigh 415 grams for a pair and are expected to retail at $90USD, give or take 10 dollars.
Xpedo TridentThe Trident is a totally new pedal platform for Xpedo and takes up the mantle from where the Spry left off. It's also Xpedo's thinnest ever platform as it shave 1mm off the Spry to come in at 10mm. The forged body pedal has dimensions of 114x109 and weighs 342 grams/pair. The pedals will retail at $119 but an upgrade to this mmermaid colour scheme will incur an extra $30 cost.
Da Bomb BlastrRunning on a larger platform for 2019, the Da Bomb Blastr pedals also have three bearings for smoother operation. The pedals weigh 430 grams for a pair and will cost $100USD.
Also new from Da Bomb was an updated, full CNC Grenade stem. It weighs 138 grams and will cost $95USD.
VP Details are fairly thin on the ground for the new VP but it's a large, solid fleeing platform and will no doubt be a good budget option for those wanting a solid, gravity pedal.
depends on what exactly you want. these are all in that sub 400-sub 450 grams category. shit a basic set of bmx aluminium pedals with sealed bearings will cost you that and mtb pedals tend to be better.
Welgo MG-1 $35 on Amazon 366g
Welgo MG-5 $30 on Amazon 300g
I smashed the shit of out a pair of mg-1s for years swapping them between my bmx and fr bike. No slop in them, and you can even get Ti spindles for another $30 and still be lighter, stronger, and cheaper than those FUNNS

Now I am on composite One ups for just 40 bugs. Better platform and no problems so far.
I can not put my foot straight on pedals. Toes need to be more outwards away from the frame and the heels more towards the chainstays/frame. I don't like it but that's how it is. I had larger pedals before I tried the DMR. The One Up is also larger.
I had the VP Harrier's before and those are really nice, also cheap and really light. Never broken but the bushings are to are weak. Or let's say it is a shame they stopped making replacement kits. 60 for pedals, 20 for the whole kit with new axles.
I totally agree.I've been running Wellgo MG-1's for years with ZERO issues.
No point spending more on overpriced fancy flats.
One exception is clothes. Knock-off jerseys and wool socks
Only buy things that are simple to produce, things that if found malfunctioning would not harm you or spoil your ride badly, or things that are very unlikely to broke.
Also look at other buyers reviews and don't buy the cheapest of all options.
Examples
T shirt : ok
Mtb grips: ok, what could go wrong?
Brake rotor : difficult for a piece of metal like that to snap if not poorly designed, so ok but check it every now and then
Brushcutter whit rotating blades : i wouldn't buy that

I have one of those. Pedals are gripy, weight is about 340g, lots of grease inside. Bearings looking good.
Only downside are the soft metal pins which you can replace.
Sadly I only have one leg
The other one had to be replaced with a rocket luncher.......for science!
All jokes aside they put out amazing content for free, so I can deal with the odd spelling/ factual mistake.
Best grip so far for any pedals because they also have a larger platform then most others.
The new form of this VP is indeed stupid. Rock strikes will affect it more.
