Ultra Thin.

At only 26.8mm, these are the thinnest mountain bike clip pedals in the world. And they have an extra large, DH-sized platform. The ultra thin profile means you get a larger platform that’s less prone to pedal strikes.

Large and Light.

Many other clip pedal platforms don’t even touch your shoe when clipped in. Our lightweight, large platform pedal is designed to actively support your shoe and give you more confidence and control.

Custom Stainless Steel Binding.

Our SPD™ compatible mechanism gives you 5° of float and a 12° release angle with no unwanted play. The tighter cleat fit doesn’t sacrifice float and delivers a locked-in and secure feeling.

Adjustable Cleat Fit.

Fine tune the feel of your pedals with a wider range of spring tension adjustment than Shimano, removable pins and the included cleat spacers for the perfect fit with any shoe.

FAQ

Do I need to install the updated binding plate myself?

Nope! Every pair of pedals has the updated binding plate installed from the get-go, so you're ready to roll, hassle-free.

How is the OneUp binding system different from Shimano SPD™?

Our design focuses on two key improvements: eliminating unnecessary play in the cleat-to-binding connection and increasing the maximum release tension. To achieve this, we completely redesigned the binding and refined the cleat-to-binding connection, creating a tighter, more secure fit without sacrificing float. This provides a locked-in, confident feel while you ride. For greater adjustability and control, we engineered springs with a higher maximum tension and a wider range of usable adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune your setup to match your preferences.

When should I use a cleat spacer? How can I make it easier to clip-in?

If you’re having trouble clipping into the pedal or the binding feels overly tight, even at low tension, there are two adjustments you can make.

First, installing a the provided cleat spacer(s) allows your cleat to make connection with the binding sooner, reducing the interference between the pedal and shoe and making it easier to clip-in.

Second, you can remove the pedal pins to eliminate any additional interference. We recommend starting by adjusting the front pins and then the rear pins, if necessary.

Can I use another brand's SPD™ cleat?

We recommend using our cleats with our pedals. However, Shimano SH51 SPD cleats are also compatible. We can't confirm compatibility with, or recommend, any other SPDbased cleats from other brands. Use these at your own risk.

Are there any shoes that aren't compatible?

While we can't guarantee a completely universal fit with the multitude of shoe brands and sizes out there, any shoes with a 2-bolt cleat mounting interface should be compatible. Cleat spacers may be required in some cases.

Are the pins height adjustable? Can I ride the pedals without pins?

Our Clip Pedals can be used with or without the pins, but the pins themselves are not height adjustable. They are designed to bottom out in the pin hole, functioning like a standard screw.

If you’re trying to make clipping in easier, we recommend using a cleat spacer first to reduce interference between your shoe and the pedal. If additional adjustments are needed after installing the spacer, you can remove the pins to further minimize interference. Start by removing the front pins, and then the rear pins if necessary.

Why are the pins hollow? How can I remove a damaged pin?

The hollow design allows dirt to pass through the pin, eliminating the need to pick dirt out before removal. To remove a damaged pin, you can use a 2.5mm Allen key from either the front or back. If removing it from the back, remember to turn clockwise to loosen it. This design ensures easy maintenance and hassle-free removal when damaged.

Reviews

These pedals are my favorite

"These pedals are my favorite yet, they look great and feel great while being easy to adjust and service. I love the small platform with grip pins so that I can ride unclipped for short trips in normal shoes, switch up foot position, or have more control when I clip out over super rooty slippery areas."

Kyle W. (5/5)

Reliable for ripping

"Real nice pedal, rock solid quality. The outer is a good balance between easy to find but not oversized. It's already saved me in a couple pedal strikes. And the purple really pops!"

Andy (4/5)

My new favorite clip pedal!

"Recently picked up the OneUp XC pedals and the experience with them I thought I would give their new Clip Pedals a go. Having tried most of the clip pedals available on the market I have grown to appreciate the features and feel of what each of them deliver. Interestingly, the OneUp Clip pedals seem to have most of my preferred clip pedal traits rolled into them. The engagement and tuneability to find my preferred release feel have been my personal favorite of all of the pedals tested. Great job OneUp Components! Another great product in your line up!"

Steven S. (5/5)

Great service story

"A few things to say. I came across OU components as part of a promotion when my wife bought an e-bike. She got some flat pedals. They have been great. I then bought some XC clip in pedals. I had a bit of trouble with these but, in the end, decided it was user error. OU were very responsive to my issues and, with no drama at all, replaced the pedals. So now I have two sets, both perfectly good. Nice to see a manufacturer that backs their reputation. I will be back."

Andrew T. (5/5)

Not for me.

"The unclip mechanics were just different enough for me that I could not be confident with these pedals. Build quality was beautiful and I really wanted to like them, but I’m back on my XTR spd. One up handled the return perfectly, and for that I’m rating them higher. Five stars for service. Two stars for pedals."

Blaine W. (4/5)

pretty stinkin good

"I thought it was all hype until I rode them. It is definitely an evolution of the SPD. I was coming off Saints, you don't realize how limited they are until you tried these, no slop no vague float but yet still a feeling of freedom like flats it's hard to describe until you ride them."

Michael C. (5/5)

Great pedals

"First time I change my pedals, these are great, the feel is amaizing and provide great foot support."

Guest C. (5/5)

Solves some problems but presents new ones

"I’ve tried a number of clipless pedals over the last 2 years, searching for one that makes me feel as connected to my bike a flats do. These pedals are by far the best I’ve ever tried in this respect- my feet feel like they’re actually on the pedals, not just floating loosely above the pedals like how shimano spd’s feel. The downside- even with the cleat spacer/shim, they are incredibly difficult to get in/out of. I typically ride with my spd’s cranked as tight as they can go, but these pedals at their loosest are 10x as tight. Thank goodness for the large platform as it usually takes about 10-15 tries to get my foot clipped in to each pedal. And good luck un-clipping at slow speed or a standstill on techy climbs. Had a spill the other day that would have otherwise been uneventful, but neither shoe unclipped so ended up getting really tangled up. I’ve tried two pairs of shoes and it’s the same with either shoe. Maybe I just need to break them in more, I’ve only had about 6-7 rides so far. Could be a skill issue too, maybe there’s a technique to it that I’m not grasping. Really too bad as like I said, they’re the best pedal I’ve tried yet to actually feel connected to the bike."

Gavin C. (3/5)

Pins don’t touch…pedal feels like any other clip

"Pins do not touch my Shimano AM9s basically making moot the whole reason I bought these (obviously didn’t install shims). I wanted that “flat pedal feel” they claimed in the marketing video. I feel pretty gullible now! Anyways, I wasn’t in the market for a different shoe but perhaps I’ll look to see if there’s one that mounts the clip deeper into the shoe. Will also check to see if there are longer pins but that isn’t ideal."

Jeff S. (3/5)

Wafer-thin clipless goodness

"Love them. Made the mistake of not changing out my Shimano cleats before riding. The One-Up cleats are specific to the pedals. Word to the wise."

Q&A

Hi i just purchased a set of these and all was great until i couldn't clip out on the right side heal outward. I was able to exit on the right if I rotated heal inward( to the left) with a lot of force. The right pedal is @the lowest tension setting. My shoes are Fox union boa. What pedal #'s needed the new binding parts updated?
Hey Celina, thanks for reaching out. Could you send me a photo of your pedals? I can confirm if they have the updated clips. If you feel they are excessively difficult to unclip from, here are a few steps to try - Please follow them in order, trying the next one only if the previous doesn't fix the issue: If this issue has worsened over time, check for any evidence of impacts or interference from dirt or grit. Using a wire brush, clean beneath parts 6 & 7 from this page, and also your cleats, to be sure there is no metal swarf build up. Check that the cleat washer is the right way around so the bolts are flush & tight (see step 4 of the Cleat Install Instructions). Check that the spring tension is backed off to the second last click (be careful not to fully unscrew the tension screw) Add a drop of chain lube to the spring. Check if a cleat spacer is needed and if any parts of the shoe are interfering with the clipping process. Move the cleat 5mm towards the front of the shoe. Check the binding support plate (part 8 in the exploded view) is flat and tight to the pedal body. This is a T10 Torx key, torqued to 1.5-1.8Nm If you continue to have trouble releasing, try removing the front pins (on both sides of the pedal) The last thing to do is try a different shoe. Try without the cleat spacer first and add one if necessary for clearance. If the issue goes away with the shoe then it could be an incompatible shoe -  If so, we would like to know the shoe make and model.

Hi, I am woundering if the pedal works with the shimano multi realse cleats SM-SH56? Cheers Ethan
These cleats will work with our Pedals. Thanks for checking in, Ethan!
Hi there. A few months ago I purchased the one up clip pedals. However, one side of the pedal seem to have an issue. I find it very difficult to unclip on this one side. Even after loosening the tension. Is there other ways where I can adjust to fix this situation? Please advise. Regards from Malaysia, Izad

I want to buy your clip pedal locally in my local bike shop. Is there any way I can check if the pedals they have in stock are the updated ones?
Hey Alex, I am almost certain they will have the updated bindings. This video shows what our old binding plates look like - https://www.oneupcomponents.com/blogs/clip-pedals-service-install/rear-binding-plate-replacement-instructions
Hey One up team. Is it possible to remove the clip mechanism on one side and use the pedal on one side as a platform pedal with normal shoes? I would like to use the pedal on a gravel bike where I also occasionally want commuting with normal shoes. Thanks for your help greetings from Switzerland. Best regards, Ralf
Hey Ralf, it is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Something like an SPD pedal platform adapter could be good - https://www.amazon.ca/Aluminum-Universal-Clipless-Platform-Adapters/dp/B07YTJ2K8T/
