Holy greenbacks batman, that's a lot of dough for a pedal that looks like it could crack if you tagged it on a rock.

I saw them at Interbike and Sea Otter...with a cast stainless steel body they appear to be pretty damn solid, but on the downside they are also pretty heavy.

wow, i didn't realize syncros came back to life so suddenly. they've got a pretty extensive product line. i always liked their stuff back in the day...had plenty of stems and posts of theirs, and a bb or so. funny that they don't make bbs now.

haha, $150 pedals...

Anyone want to buy me a pair? I promise I can break them:D

ya their new line is actually pretty nice...they even have tires and rims now!!

[Kornphlake]

so did they just start from scratch again or did they witdraw from the market so they could release a bunch of new products all at once? I don't remember seeing anything but old stock syncros stuff for the last couple years.

I'll bet a stainless steel (they also have a chromoly steel pedal for $110) would be stronger than aluminum but it looks like they may have gone a little too far cutting away material to save weight. From the pictures it looks like they're made of toothpicks.

how about close to $200 for a pair? I have the first generation of those (MX-100) and let me tell you...they are probably the strongest pair of flat pedals on the market...BUT they are like 2lbs a pair!!! :dead:

Yeah, I don't want to sheer off my BB/Cranks in the process :D

I love those assault pedals... yum.

[RD3]

I thought they would be lightweight, atleast look like they should be.

Tom Ritchey bought back the Syncros TM from GT. I think he got some of the old people too. Guess he got financial power to make a new good Syncros line.

They look kinda cool, but it's beyond me why anyone would shell out the cash for a "MTB pedal" when there are tons of cheap "BMX pedals" out there that are just as good or better, and generally cost about half the price...

i can buy a Saint crankset here... :stupid:

[Kanter]

Are the Syncros only made in steel? I really need a pair of pedals but I want something light and good in mud. Where can you buy these?

[Kanter]

Ok I see steel and titanium. I heard rumor of magnesium. Anyone have any info?

[ioscope]

Mag is too weak for that kind of build!!

[sama1ter]

assault link doesnt work:(

[CreeP]

Mag, Stainless, and Cromoly. No ti!

I haven't seen any pics of the mag version but i would assume it's bit thicker, the designer isn't an idiot.
