Crank Brothers 50/50 XX

new 5050 flat pedal. Debuting August, 2005, the 5050 is a study of duality and balance. It’s an uncluttered,
straightforward design which offers imaginative options for customization. The 5050 is extremely strong yet has
interchangeable parts. It’s an aesthetic design accomplishment which achieves maximum durability on downhill
and freeride terrain. Each pedal is made of two different materials and two different colors , and it’s offered in two
models and price points.
Removable plates allow for pin customization
The plates of the 5050 are removable so riders can have full freedom to customize pin placement from
the inside of the pedal. Other flats have pin hex-holes on the top surface of the pedal, which makes pins very
difficult to remove if they break or are ground down. Other flats have hexes on the bottom of the pins , but they
offer limited pin placement options as they require access from the front side of the pedal to install and remove
pins . Crankbrothers eliminates the restrictions on pin placement with this removable plate design.

Dual material design adds durability
The modular design of the pedal also allows for the plates to be made from a material that is harder
than the main body. The plates are located on the leading edge of the pedal, the area of the pedal that
takes the most abuse, so stronger material provides a durability advantage. The 5050 body is 6061-t6
aluminum, and the plates are 6061-t8 (harder) aluminum. Tough 6061-t8 aluminum is a challenging
material to work with for most applications. The unique design of the 5050 plates maximizes the
qualities of 6061-t8 without difficulty.

The 5050 XX is the premium model, available in two colors: gold body with black plates or silver
body with black plates. The XX uses cartridge bearings which result in a slightly lower profile pedal
with a lower stack height and weight. They are completely serviceable with a rebuild kit and have a
built-in grease port for easy maintenance. The 5050 XX come packaged with additional accessories that
the X doesn’t offer: a set of red plates, and an extra set of 36 long pins (4.8mm). The 5050 XX weighs
