Why Is the Egg Beater 3 a Favorite Among Lightweight Riders?

The Crankbrothers Egg Beater 3 Pedals are the featherweights of the clipless world, widely recognized as among the lightest clip-in mountain bike pedals available. The open, minimal design gives mud, snow, and debris nowhere to lodge, delivering the superior engagement consistency that makes the Egg Beater series a go-to for XC racers and fast gravel riders alike. A CNC-machined aluminum body shaves every gram possible while maintaining the structural integrity to handle sustained trail loads, and the 4-sided engagement means clipping in is instant no matter which way the pedal faces.

Premium internals include an outboard Enduro cartridge bearing, inboard igus II glide bearing, and a double seal system designed to resist the wet and grit that shorter-lived pedals can't handle. Brass cleats are included for immediate use, and the platform is fully compatible with the Crankbrothers cleat ecosystem. For XC racers chasing podiums, bikepacking riders counting grams, or gravel riders who want a pedal that vanishes underfoot, the Egg Beater 3 is the benchmark.
