VP-Harrier Altitude
VP-Harrier Altitude - The VP-Harrier Altitude is an updated version of the VP-Harrier. In addition to being a lighter pedal, it has a titanium axle and post CNC machining to drop weight. The VP-Harrier Altitude is the perfect high-end pedal for the all-mountain rider. It is available in black/gold and black/green and has an MSRP of $235.00.

VP-AIM
VP-AIM - Already covering the high end of the spectrum with the premium VP-Harrier pedal, the VP-AIM is a new lightweight, thin and affordable option.

The VP-Aim was developed at the request of FMB Diamond tour and FEST Series rider, Sam Reynolds who wanted a pedal that had a large platform for landing tricks, but also had a traditional dual-concave shape for grip. The VP-AIM is for use on any bike that uses platform pedals including commuter, city, BMX or mountain bikes. The VP-Aim is available in black and silver and has a MSRP of $60.00.

The VP-ARC6 and VP-ARC6-SL are VP’s new and improved split cleats. The split cleats boast super-smooth and easy entry/exit into your clipless pedals, excellent durability and maximum power transfer. The cleats split in half so that you simply remove each half and use the half still on the shoe to ensure perfect cleat placement every time. The VP-ARC6 is compatible with Keo pedals and has options for zero, 4.5 and 9 degrees of float. The VP-ARC6-SL is compatible with Shimano SPD-SL pedals and has options for zero and 6 degrees of float. Both cleats have an MSRP of $30.00.
