Overview
What Makes the Mallet 2 the Right Platform-Clipless Pedal?
The Crankbrothers Mallet 2 Pedals bridge the gap between flat pedal security and clipless efficiency, giving trail riders the best of both in a single platform. The platform-clipless design delivers the flat pedal feel riders want on technical terrain while keeping the efficiency of a clipped-in connection on climbs and high-output efforts. With 4-sided engagement, clipping in is fast and intuitive even in demanding conditions, and the raised platform edges give your shoe extra support when you need to stand off the pedal momentarily.
A chromoly spindle handles the rigors of trail riding without adding unnecessary weight, and the platform body provides stable foot placement for riders who want more contact area than a pure clipless pedal offers. Brass cleats and plastic shims are included for immediate setup. The Mallet 2 is the entry into the Mallet platform-clipless family, and for riders who want confidence on technical descents without sacrificing climbing efficiency, it delivers exactly what the category promises.

There's more to Crankbrothers than this one product. Our Crankbrothers page has the full Crankbrothers lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Crankbrothers page →What is the difference between the Mallet and Egg Beater pedals?
The Mallet series adds a platform around the clipless mechanism for more foot support and flat-pedal-style stability, while the Egg Beater is a pure clipless pedal with a minimal, platform-free design. The Mallet suits riders who want both clipped-in efficiency and technical terrain confidence.
Can I ride the Mallet 2 without clipping in?
Yes, the platform design of the Mallet 2 is functional even when not clipped in, providing stable foot placement on technical sections where you may want to release quickly.
What cleats work with the Mallet 2?
The Mallet 2 uses the standard Crankbrothers cleat system. Brass cleats are included, and the Premium Ultra Durable Brass Cleats are compatible for riders who want extended cleat life.
