Built for riders who want the benefits of float — in a compact platform.

The world’s first flat pedal with 8° of self-centering float for improved knee alignment, comfort, and control.

The 8 Degree X8-3 Series Floating Pedal delivers the same patented floating performance as our larger models in a smaller, more compact platform. Designed for riders who prefer a reduced pedal footprint without sacrificing comfort or biomechanical benefits, the X8-3 helps your feet move naturally through each pedal stroke — reducing knee strain and improving overall ride feel.

With its compact bearing housing and lower Q-factor, the X8-3 sits closer to the crank for improved efficiency and stability. Factory-installed Super-Grip pins provide confident traction, while the reversible pin design allows you to fine-tune grip height to match your riding style.

Advanced 8° Floating System

Experience smoother, more natural pedal strokes as the self-centering internal mechanism maintains proper biomechanical alignment of the foot, ankle, and knee — improving comfort and power transfer on every ride.
