Our full review
The Crankbrothers Mallet E pedal is purpose-built for e-mountain bikers who demand a platform that can handle the added torque, speed, and momentum that electric bikes bring to the trail. Building on the proven Mallet platform that trail and enduro riders have trusted for years, this version features a wider, more supportive body designed specifically to counteract the increased forces generated by motor-assisted pedaling. The larger platform surface offers exceptional support for the foot, reducing fatigue on longer e-bike rides while still delivering the precise, predictable clip-in and release action that Crankbrothers pedals are known for.

Constructed with a durable chromoly spindle and a robust body made from a blend of stainless steel and composite materials, the Mallet E is engineered to withstand the extra stress placed on components by e-mountain bikes. The premium sealed bearing system, paired with Crankbrothers' signature Igus LL glass fiber reinforced bushings, ensures smooth rotation and long-lasting durability even under the higher loads and speeds typical of e-MTB riding. The four-sided entry mechanism makes clipping in fast and intuitive, a critical feature when navigating technical terrain where quick foot engagement can make the difference between staying upright and losing control.
Adjustable release tension allows riders to fine-tune the pedal to their preferred feel, whether they favor an easy release for technical, unpredictable trails or a firmer hold for aggressive descents where unintentional unclipping could be dangerous. The extended platform wings provide additional stability and pedal-shoe contact, giving riders confidence when powering through rock gardens or landing jumps with the extra weight and speed that e-bikes introduce. Available in a range of colors to match personal style, the Crankbrothers Mallet E pedal delivers the reliability, support, and performance that serious e-mountain bikers need to push their limits with confidence on every ride.
