The Mallet 1 uses Enduro industry bearings on the outside and a Igus LL-plain bearing. They also use a double seal to ensure your bearing is protected from mud and other debris. If your bearings do become worn through heavy use, you can replace them with a simple service kit and your pedals are as good as new.

4 / 5
good price, effective but flawed
We all know the reason why Mallet 1 pedals, along with eggbeaters, never became popular in the UK. To save money the manufacturer put a bushing instead of a bearing to support the inside (nearest the crank) side of the pedal. As a result the pedal loosens rapidly on the spindle and eventually slides off the pedal spindle. It doesn't matter that the issue has been resolved on the more expensive pedals -- the reputational damage has been done. I use the cheaper mallets because I know how to replace the bushing, but it is a flaw in an otherwise brilliant and innovative design.
