Ideal for mountain bikers who want a grippy alloy flat pedal with a broad platform and easy-to-replace wear parts for trail, all-mountain and enduro riding.
The JetBlack Featherlite is a full-alloy MTB flat pedal aimed at riders who want a broad, supportive platform without stepping up into premium-price territory. The 115 x 110mm platform gives you plenty of shoe support, while the low-profile 25mm body helps keep the pedal feeling close to the bike for better control when the trail gets rough.
On the trail, this style of pedal suits riders chasing a secure, confidence-building feel with flat shoes. The 16 replaceable pins per pedal are there for bite and consistency, and the sealed bearing plus IGUS bushing layout is a proven flat-pedal formula for smooth running and serviceability. The 370g claimed weight also keeps it competitive for an alloy option if you want something lighter than many gravity-focused flats.
For most riders, the appeal is simple: you get the direct feel and durability of a CNC-machined 6061 aluminium body and cro-moly axle, plus the reassurance that JetBlack offers a complete parts kit and replacement pin set for this model. If you want a pedal for trail bikes, hardtails or enduro builds that looks sharp in gold and gives you proper flat-pedal support, this one makes a lot of sense.
Low-profile alloy body
The 6061 CNC aluminium construction keeps the pedal slim and solid underfoot, with the direct feel many riders prefer over bulky flats.
Large, supportive platform
At 115 x 110mm, the platform gives your shoe more contact area for better support and a more planted feel on rough trails.
16 replaceable pins per pedal
Plenty of pins means strong pedal-shoe bite, and when the edges wear down you can replace the pins instead of replacing the pedals.
Sealed bearing and IGUS bushing
This bearing layout is designed for smooth rotation with the kind of dirt and moisture resistance MTB pedals need.
Cro-moly axle
A cro-moly axle is the right choice for riders who want dependable strength for trail and gravity use.
Service parts available
JetBlack offers both a complete parts kit and a replacement pin set, which is a real plus for long-term ownership.
Alloy flat-pedal value
You get the premium look and feel of a machined alloy pedal without moving into the higher price bracket of many flagship rivals.

6061 CNC Aluminium
We use a CNC-machined 6061 aluminium body to keep the pedal light while delivering the solid feel and clean finish you'd expect from a premium flat pedal.
Sealed bearing
A sealed bearing setup helps keep the pedal spinning smoothly and is designed to better handle dirt and moisture from tough trail riding.
IGUS bushing
The IGUS bushing supports the axle for dependable running and adds durability where flat pedals cop plenty of abuse.
Replaceable pins
With 16 replaceable pins on each pedal, you get the grip you want now and the option to refresh worn pins later instead of replacing the whole pedal.
Low profile platform
The low profile shape gives you a planted feel underfoot and helps keep the pedal body slim for a confident ride feel.
Great for
Maybe not for
Fits standard pedal-thread crankarms used on modern adult MTBs. The 115 x 110mm platform will suit riders wanting a roomy flat pedal, especially with flat-pedal MTB shoes. As with other aggressive pinned flats, expect strong grip but also more risk of shin strikes if you slip a foot. Check crank-to-pedal clearance carefully on carbon cranks with unusual recessed inserts, as compatibility details are not listed for this pedal.
vs OneUp Components Aluminum Pedal
The OneUp is a more premium alloy flat with a strong reputation for a very thin feel and wide compatibility guidance, including specific notes for some SRAM carbon cranks.
vs Race Face Atlas Pedal
The Atlas sits further up the market with a larger-brand premium finish, easy serviceability messaging and a lifetime warranty.
vs Crankbrothers Stamp 7 Large
The Stamp 7 is a high-end alloy flat that targets riders who want a size-specific pedal and are happy to spend considerably more for it.
Best paired with proper flat-pedal shoes
These pedals will work with any flat-soled shoe, but you’ll get the grip and support they’re designed for when you run a dedicated flat-pedal MTB shoe with a sticky rubber sole.
Aggressive grip comes with a trade-off
With 16 pins per pedal, the upside is foot security. The trade-off is that a slipped foot can be unforgiving, so they suit riders happy with a more aggressive flat-pedal feel.
A broad platform helps on rough trails
The 115 x 110mm body is a good match for riders who feel under-supported on smaller pedals, especially on trail bikes and hardtails where you spend plenty of time standing.
Worth checking clearance on some carbon cranks
Most MTB cranksets will be straightforward, but if you’re running carbon cranks with unusual recessed pedal inserts, it’s worth checking clearance during installation before fully torquing everything up.
