News | FUNN Release Lightweight Flat Pedals, The Python

We all know how expensive high end flat pedals can be, but FUNN have attempted to cut down these costs and still keep the high quality, cutting edge technology that goes into some of the top rangers out there.

The all-new Python flat pedal is intensively CNC’ed to achieve its super high-end look and unique shape. The Python spends more than 30% of machining time than average CNC pedals. The machined silver lining after anodizing makes its look stands out from others.

The Python's weigh 375 grams and hit the price mark at $119, which is pretty reasonable compared others.

The cartridge housing is made of a self-lubricating plastic bushing, and housing and axle combine to disperse the overall load over the entire surface of the pedal. During labtesting, the Python has withstood 1.5 million revolutions without failure!

The Python pedal is super easy to service, with few parts, and a service kit that will cost only $25 USD. The pedal is fully sealed from outside contaminants like water and mud, so it’s sure to be one of the most durable flats on the market.

The Python has a solid and almost perfectly square platform to provide the stability and support you need, but at the same time is only weighing in at 375 grams per pair.

The Python has a low profile design, only 14mm at the axle junction, with 4mm pins that extend from the 11mm thick edge. The pedal forms a distinct concave that holds the foot in the sweet spot on the pedal.

Your foot is not going anywhere on the Python. There are 12 removable pins per face, and each pin goes directly into the pedal surface
(not through it) Different color pin kits can be purchased so customers can customize the look.

The FUNN Python hits the shelves at $119 and weighing in at only 375 grams, slams itself straight into the middle of the market in the weight category.
