The Most Cost-Effective Upgrade for Your Bike: Catalyst Pedals

If you’ve been looking for an upgrade to improve your riding experience without breaking the bank, look no further than the Catalyst Pedal. 

While many riders spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a professional bike fit, shaving grams off their bike’s weight, or upgrading their suspension, the Catalyst Pedal delivers instant improvements in power, comfort, control, and confidence—all for a fraction of the cost.

Why Traditional Upgrades Fall Short

Bike Fit ($300-$500+) – Many riders go through a professional bike fit trying to alleviate pain or discomfort, yet they never consider how their foot position affects their entire riding experience. 

The Catalyst Pedal supports your whole foot, allowing a natural, stable platform that immediately reduces strain on the ankles, knees, and lower back—often solving the very problems that lead people to a bike fit in the first place.

Dropping Weight on the Bike ($1,000+) – The cycling industry pushes the idea that shaving a few grams off your bike will make a significant difference. But the reality? The way your body interacts with the bike matters far more than a few ounces. 

The Catalyst Pedal maximizes your efficiency and power output, giving you a noticeable performance boost that far outweighs the negligible effect of a lighter frame or components.

Upgrading Suspension ($500-$2,000) – Many riders invest in a better fork or rear shock to improve comfort and control. But without a solid and stable foot placement, even the best suspension can’t make up for poor biomechanics. 

The Catalyst Pedal provides a larger, more balanced platform, instantly improving your control over rough terrain and helping you stay planted through technical sections.

Instant Benefits from the First Ride

The moment you clip out of your old pedals and step onto the Catalyst Pedals, you’ll feel the difference:

More Power – By allowing a mid-foot position, your glutes and hamstrings take on a greater role in pedaling, just like in squats or deadlifts. More muscle engagement = more power with less fatigue.

Better Comfort – No more foot pain, hot spots, or strain on your Achilles. Thousands of riders have reported an end to nagging pain in their knees and lower back simply by switching pedals.

Superior Control – The larger platform stabilizes your foot, improving your connection to the bike and reducing the chances of slipping off, even on rough terrain.

Boosted Confidence – Whether climbing, descending, or cornering, the Catalyst Pedal helps you feel more planted and in control—no matter what’s ahead on the trail.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

Here are three testimonials from riders who found that the Catalyst Pedal improved their confidence and performance, specifically helping them ride something they previously couldn't or making challenging terrain feel easier:

“There was a tabletop that I was struggling to clear. Again this is where the increased balance and better cornering have made a big difference. 

I managed to hit the previous corners and jumps better, thus rolling with more speed and ended up overshooting something I was struggling to clear. Since then, I managed to put a few more rides in, and things only got better. 

For me, the Catalyst Pedal has definitely helped me ride with more comfort, balance, and confidence. And because of that, I have even more fun riding.” - Razvan Dan

“First and most significant to me is that they feel a lot safer. The support they provide gives me more stability and grip when pedaling. It really makes a difference in the safety when riding rough trails—a lot less jumping off the pedals and losing momentum when the trail gets rough. 

I have struggled with pedaling uphill because my left ankle is stiffer than normal due to an accident. I have seen a significant improvement going uphill. It was surprisingly easier to do in the very first ride with the Catalysts.” - Oscar Deliz

“Confidence, security, and stability is why I use the Catalyst pedals... I have been able to heel down and load the rear axle when racing the California Enduro Series races with much more confidence.” - Dennis Romualdo
