Just a wee addition, I always rave about the Nukeproof Horizon Comp and I have an ebay alert so I cna sweep up any new-old-stock that appear, they’re absolutely great… but definitely don’t confuse those with the Electron Evos, which are alright but pretty low on grip. Another perfectly well made pedal that’s just not really the right shape, and doesn’t really do anything in return apart from being really cheap. But they’re OK if you don’t demand good grip, not everyone does. Mine are on my shopping bike now, I just couldn’t see any good reason to keep mountain biking on them when there’s so much better out there with no drawbacks at all.

(and don’t confuse those with the original Electron, which was pretty much crap. The Evo basically threw some extra pins and some minor reshaping in to compensate for the axle bulge, which is enough to make them at least not terrible)

Random other option, I got some Thinkriders from Aliexpress, which in shape are a Horizon copy pretty much which is great news but have a slightly different axle, and cost £10. I’ve been using them for a year or so now without any issues, and they are as good underfoot as any pedal I’ve ever used, but I do weigh 10 stone so do bear that in mind 🙂

Just to add, there seem to be a few reviews saying the RHS is prone to falling off. MKS is another brand worth looking at.

Funn Fundamental for me. Similar to DMR Vaults and a slight upgrade over the original bulletproof SS Nano/eXotic/Moove, with an extra pin at the front (6 front 5 rear) and grease ports for the bushings on the end of the axels.

I paid 45 quid. I doubt you can get them that cheap anymore!

Unless I spot something else I fancy trying, my default go to are Superstar Nano Evo’s

Do you find you get through a lot of bushings on them? I had a terrible run with the first gen “evo” ones.

Never had an issue, but I’m not a super high mileage rider.

Having said they are my go to, I only have them on my Shan 26 at the moment, which is relegated to not doing much at all – still using the NP Sam Hill Horizons I bagged in the firesale on other bikes, or CB Mallets if I’m clipped in

DMR V12 are my personal favourite, always loved the V8 but the V12 is more comfortable.  Lovely pedals.

FWIW the original Nanos were yet another rebadged HT, I think you ca still buy them under that name and maybe also under Exotic? Only the more recent ones were inhouse.

ANS01 if I’m not mistaken. Although, by the looks of it, the design has been further refined (ribbed for her pleasure) since then and costs more.

The SS in-house Nanos (X, Evo X and Evo 2.0) had a larger squarer platform (thinner metal) and went through bushings faster. At least the first X iteration did! The service kits have ceramic rather than standard metal bushings, which last longer. Later revisions (Evo X and Evo 2.0) may have been fitted with ceramic from the factory. TBH I can’t remember, I’m sure one version did though!

I think the only criticism of the original design was the platform size, which isn’t suitable for bigger feet and obviously there are other designs with more pins/pin configurations. Personally I liked the rounded corners and chamfered edges. Could be my imagination, but they seemed to shrug off strikes really well and the pedals themselves could take years of battering. I’ve got a pair that look like they have been through a war but still spin smoothly on the original axles, bearings and bushings.

HT PA03As

shite name, fab pedal.
