An all-new Time mountain bike pedal just dropped into the mix, with the ‘robust full-bodied’ XYSTO. Designed for proper gravity riding and DH racing, the Time Xysto is a lightweight but large platform clipless pedal with 5 asymmetric traction pins per side for plenty of grip, whether clipped in or not. It’s the next evolution of Time’s long-running Speciale, with the same trusted ATAC adjustable retention, now just with a bigger platform and more pins for serious all-mountain, enduro, and DH riding.

Time created the new large platform Xysto clipless pedals for DH and enduro racers looking for more pedal support when riding fast, technical terrain. Taking the popular Speciale pedals to the next level, they shaped these larger Xystos with a more open design for better mud shedding, to provide easy engagement even in the worst trail conditions.

Then, an asymmetric platform design front-to-back and new asymmetric pin layout provide a ‘more natural fit’ to the shape of clipless MTB shoe soles. All the while, you still get the secure, adjustable retention of Time’s classic ATAC clipless system, now in a bigger pedal for all-mountain, enduro, and DH riders.
