| Description | Bigger, grippier, lighter and as tough as ever. The Penthouse Flat MK5 pedal is here. We didn't stop to think about the future when our journey started some 17-years ago on the slopes of Schladming in 2003. The prototype MK1 Penthouse Flat that debuted that weekend inevitably paved the way for the MK2 in 2007, the MK3 in 2009 and the MK4 in 2014. While much has changed in that time, our focus towards building the toughest and grippiest flat pedals on the market remains the same. Our goals for the MK5 pedals followed the same design and development path as every other Penthouse Flat pedal before it, utilise any advances in materials and manufacturing, balance the weight and durability, and maximise the amount of grip. From the MK4 to the MK5, we shed 65 grams per pair, increased the platform footprint by 7%, the dish by 1mm and decreased the pin width by 0.5mm. Taking on feedback from the MK4 we tried a number of different Q-factors to balance the foot's position in relation to the cranks. With every flat pedal shoe on the market at our disposal, we experimented with different platform sizes, pin widths, and pin heights to maximise grip underfoot. It was of the utmost importance that the MK5's internals represent the best of the best. To do this we specced the most wear-resistant bushings from Igus. Their "Endurance Runner" material - W300 - was a clear winner as this gave unrivalled resistance to external influences. Mud and water ingress is kept at bay with a full contact oil seal, this keeps grease in and contaminants out even in the harshest of conditions. This configuration of quality parts is why the Penthouse series has a reputation for outstanding longevity.
