Sampson Fondo Pedals
Sampson Sports’ new Fondo pedals were developed to provide ease of use and high-performance for riders.
The pedals feature a large shoe/pedal contact area to help with comfort, a very thin profile with chamfered outer edge for added cornering clearance, and a cold-forged as well as CNC-finished axle that spins on a sealed bearing system. The pedals weigh in at just 143 grams each.
The Fondo pedals feature Sampson’s new GripStrip. If a rider fails to enter the pedal successfully on first try, the GripStrip grabs the cleat so you can still pedal, such as through an intersection. The Fondo has its own recessed cleat and is compatible with Shimano SPD cleats. They have adjustable entry and release tension and an open alloy to allow mud and debris to pass through.
