I am a big fan of the pedals and can definitely recommend them.

- Marcel, 27 November, 2022

I drive the Mallet E and Mallet E LS pedals for several years and am still very satisfied. In the bike parks, the pedals have to put away quite a bit, because it can also happen that a stone is in the way. One-time contact is at least no reason to give way. I also find super that there are Refreshing Kits for the Crankbrothers pedals, which ensures many years happy if you care for them properly. --> Top

Pros & Cons

Durable due to refreshing kits
Fast shipping
Super easy handling
Top quality, as usual!
Limited color selection
Price rather in the upper range

A bit tricky to setup, many adjustments that are not easy to adjust on-the-fly. But when finally done, very comfy and durable pedal!! Included std cleats to high release angle for my liking.

Pros & Cons

Durable
Good grip
Good mud clearance
A bit fidly to setup
Hard to break in
Included std cleats might not suitable

Reliable

- Tommaso, 15 April, 2021

This is the second pair of Mallets I bought...the first one lasted me 4 years! So I can say that the fairly high price is completely repaid! Safe and durable.

Pros & Cons

Best coupling ever for safety and simplicity
Easy assembly and disassembly

Quality engineered pedal with good engagement & decent amount of support & grip when not clicked in

- James, 8 September, 2020

3rd pair of Crank Brothers, these replace a set of Mallet DH pedals that were about 15 years old. I use these on my EMTB for a mix of trail riding (some general cross country with some technical rocky & rooty and downhills). I also have a pair of Candy3 that are still running sweet and fine for light duty off roading but don't offer the foot support when things start to get technical and rough. The engagement with these is good, but perhaps not quite as positive as SPD from what I remember, but they offer more float to allow slight adjustment of you foot. The greater rotational movement before dis-engagement for me a good thing and something I'm used to. There are times when the extra movement stops accidental dis-engagement, it also allows you to move your foot for comfort. The mud-shedding design is well documented in other reviews and tests and I have had no problems when conditions get wet & muddy. The fact you can buy a bearing/refresh kit will also mean these pedals can be easily serviced and kept running like new for years to come.

Pros & Cons

Decent grip & support even when not engaged
Good engagement
Mud shedding design
Quality engineering
Service kits available
Click/engagement not quite as positive as SPD
Not a thin as flat pedals
