Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Flat Pedals for 2026: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
The new Turbines are beastly. Definitely the most traction on tap I've experienced (even vs Daggas, T-Macs, etc.), and definitely more than Atlas.
Switching for cool guy chrome is as good a reason as any.

Interesting. XC flats is pretty niche but I'd definitely be interested for at least part of the year.

Oh man. That’s some deep lore. Need to go down the rabbit hole of Namaiki/Rodo/NemPro/Kineses.

If you can get the flights on points, the rest of the trip is pretty affordable. Food, hotels, and transportation are all really good value these days. Extremely jealous of Japan’s train system.
This was my first time there and I’ll definitely go again. Especially getting out of the cities, it’s a beautiful country.

Yeah but if my pins are that messed up I’ll just clip them off and unthread from the back.
And dealing with sheared off pins that only unthread from the top is a pain.
