Sixpack Launches German-Made Composite Pedals
Sixpack´s Millenium CF and Kamikaze PA composite pedals: rock solid, lightweight, affordable and made in Germany.
PRESS RELEASE: Sixpack
The start of the bike season is a perfect time for Sixpack to surprise the bicycle industry with two completely new composite pedals that are made in Germany. At the top end of the new pedal range is the Millenium CF pedal. In the production of this high-end version, we relied on the use of recycled carbon fibers from industrial waste and stainless-steel components for maximum durability & performance. The more affordable Kamikaze PA comes in seven trendy colors, with the pedal body of the Infinity Black version made from recycled polyamide.
Millenium CF
Recycled carbon fibers are used in the new Millenium CF Pedal that results in an unprecedented combination of high impact resistance, low weight and precision. The pedal body, made of carbon fiber reinforced PA, has a 105x114mm footprint and is equipped with 18 extra-long stainless-steel pins. Our goal of a long hassle free, service life is achieved by using stainless steel ball bearings on one side, which hold up to the elements and resist rust, pitting, and precision igus bushings on the other side.
Paired with corrosion-resistant, thermo-chemically hardened CrMo axle ensure smooth running pedals for a long time. All internal components are protected from the elements such as dust, dirt, mud and moisture with the Sixpack Custom Radial Seal.
At only 350g per pair, this pedal is one of the lightest on the market. We achieve all this with a pedal that is manufactured near the company´s HQ in Ravensburg/Germany. Development, testing and final assembly is all done at the Sixpack HQ in Germany and at an RRP of 89.95€ make it a pioneer among composite pedals.

Kamikaze PA
The new Kamikaze PA Pedal is a pared-down option of the high-end version and one of the first composite pedals to withstand the beating of the mega jumps of Darkfest unscathed! Like the Millenium Pedal, it is completely developed and manufactured in Germany. The composite pedal body is made from a glass-fiber reinforced polyamide that gives it great resilience and a low weight.
We designed it with a large footprint (105x114mm) and 18 extra-long steel pins gives you a large stable platform that your feet stick to. Our special chromoly axle is thermochemically hardened, corrosion-resistant and made in Germany as well. Together with a precision igus bushing and two roller steel bearings, this combination ensures super smooth operation with a long service life. All of this is protected from dirt, mud, dust, and moisture with our custom radial seals. This means more time riding and less time worrying about your pedals.
At only 370g per pair, the almost indestructible Kamikaze PA pedal is, in our mind, superior to nearly any standard aluminum pedal on the market while being 100% Made in Germany, and that well known German quality. Robust, lightweight, precise, and available in seven colors - for 59.95€ RRP, the flat pedal meets the demands of all gravity fans. Another special feature is the Infinity Black color Kamikaze PA pedal body is made from recycled polyamide.

 | Strong, light, affordable - Until now mountain bikers assumed that only two of these characteristics are combinable. Using modern carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics from recycled materials and working with local companies we could break with this rule and were even able to add the characteristic “sustainable” to the list. |
The company's goal was to develop a gravity-oriented composite pedal made in Germany that has a generous platform, is extremely durable & at the same time so light that it is the perfect pedal for everyday use on the trails and in the bike park. With the aim of keeping the distances in the supply chain as short as possible, the products are assembled and packaged in the newly established assembly line at our company's headquarters in Vogt, Ravensburg/Germany. Sixpack also sources the pedal packaging from a local Bavarian manufacturer that uses recycled cardboard and water-based inks, to keep our environmental impact as low as possible.
| The close proximity to the manufacturers of the components for our new Your Part components means an uncomplicated supply chain. We reduce the transportation needed to deliver goods to a minimum and ultimately offer our customers a product whose quality is in our hands from the beginning of the manufacturing process. These reasons and many other points inspired us to start the Your Part project and we are so happy with the results thus far. |
The launch of the EJ stem in February 2022, the German component manufacturer, Sixpack, has made good on its promises: Moving the production of many of its core components to Europe and specifically Germany. These products form the base of our Your Part product line, which is now complemented by the new composite pedals, the Millenium CF and Kamikaze PA. Sixpack plans to steadily expand the Your Part portfolio with great products made in Germany, riders can look forward to much more from the brand in the coming months.

The Millenium CF and Kamikaze PA composite pedals from Sixpack are available online at sixpack-racing.com and in selected bike shops.

Another convex design too.... why oh why.....
The price of the cheaper model isn't actually too high on reflection so I am being a bit of a nob there admittedly.
I admit it’s personal preference but I cannot understand why a convex design would be used, many obviously don’t mind of course or it wouldn’t be used.
I‘m always amazed when someone declares their personal preference in something as individual as a bikes contact points as universally superior.
Local manufacturing is good, but not 59 EU for plastic pedal good
The material for the carbon reinforced polyamide bodies is recycled carbon from industrial waste, the Infinity Black Kamikaze PA is made from recycled polyamide.
My Raceface Atlas and also my DMR Vault pedals eat the tiny bearings for breakfast. But at least rebuilding them is possible and easy.
Good thing they're extra long, since almost half of them are effectively 3.5mm shorter.
Any side profile images?
It's just case-hardened. That's not special, it's pretty standard for anything that would be used a bearing surface. Also, how is this "CrMo" steel more corrosion resistant than any other )non-stainless) steel? Marketing fluff is strong with this one!
