The Xpedo Faceoff 18 Flat Pedals are precision-built platform pedals designed for mountain and downhill riding.

Our Take
For riders tackling Indian trail conditions — loose gravel, wet roots during monsoon season, and the punishing heat of a Pune summer — the Faceoff 18 delivers a stable, confidence-inspiring platform. The stainless steel and aluminium build handles abuse well, while the flat pedal design means you can dab a foot quickly on unfamiliar terrain without penalty. A solid choice selected for Indian conditions at Cobbled Climbs.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Flat pedals are not sized like shoes, but platform dimensions matter. Riders with larger feet — common among taller Indian cyclists — benefit from a wider platform for better support on long climbs. Pair with flat-soled MTB shoes for maximum grip. In Chennai or Hyderabad's heat, shoes tend to expand slightly; a firm, wide platform helps maintain consistent foot placement.
Compatibility Notes
The Faceoff 18 uses the standard 9/16-inch axle thread, compatible with virtually all modern crank arms. Designed for mountain and downhill use. No cleat system required — works with any flat MTB shoe. Clean pins periodically to remove trail grit. Check axle bearings after extended monsoon riding.
Pairs Well With
Complete your trail setup with flat MTB shoes offering a sticky rubber sole, trail or enduro knee pads for technical descents, a quality set of MTB grips, and a dropper post lever for confident trail riding across varied terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Xpedo Faceoff 18 Flat Pedals best used for?
The Faceoff 18 is designed for mountain and downhill riding where a flat platform gives you freedom of foot placement and quick bail-out capability. They're well suited to trail riding in locations like Coorg, Lonavala, or the Nilgiris foothills, where terrain is unpredictable and riders benefit from a grippy, stable platform rather than a clipless system.
What size or compatibility should I check before ordering the Xpedo Faceoff 18?
The Faceoff 18 uses a standard 9/16-inch axle thread, which fits virtually all adult bicycle cranksets. No cleat system is involved — simply pair them with any flat MTB shoe. If you ride a children's bike or an older crankset with a half-inch thread, verify compatibility before ordering. Otherwise, these are a near-universal fit for adult riders.
Will the Xpedo Faceoff 18 hold up in Indian monsoon conditions and 35°C+ heat?
The stainless steel and aluminium construction handles India's monsoon and summer heat well. After prolonged wet riding — think Coorg or Kerala trails during July and August — rinse the pedals and check the axle bearings for water ingress. Periodic bearing maintenance keeps them spinning smoothly through heavy seasonal use.
How do the Xpedo Faceoff 18 flat pedals compare to clipless pedals?
Flat pedals like the Faceoff 18 prioritise freedom, accessibility, and quick foot release — ideal for technical trails and beginner mountain bikers. Clipless pedals offer improved power transfer and are preferred for road and XC racing. For Indian trail riders learning the ropes or riding aggressive terrain, flat pedals are the more forgiving and practical choice.
Are the Xpedo Faceoff 18 pedals worth Rs. 9,995 in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 9,995, the Faceoff 18 sits in the mid-range for quality flat MTB pedals, offering a durable aluminium and stainless steel build that outperforms budget alternatives on Indian trails. Xpedo products are backed by standard manufacturer warranty — contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty claims and after-sales support. Free delivery applies on orders above Rs. 2,500, with COD available.
