PT
- Optimized foot position and aligned leg axis
- Improved power transfer
- Long-distance comfort
Better pressure distribution along the foot, better grip, and better power transfer: The PT pedal is packed with many ergonomic highlights for the demanding Touring rider. The optimized bio mechanics prevents discomfort when pedaling, reduces fatigue and provides long-distance comfort even with everyday shoes. The comfort effect extends over the entire leg axis all the way to the back. This is why the PT is the only pedal to have been awarded the coveted seal of quality of the Campaign for Healthier Backs (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.).Thanks to the ergonomic shape, inner stop and grippy surface, the feet naturally remain in an ideal position on the pedals.
Size: Small (up to Euro 42)
The problem zone: foot and pedal
Many riders pay little or no attention to the interaction between the feet and pedals. The foot placement ergonomics is usually sub-optimal. This can result in various problems:
When pedaling, the leg axis (ankle/knee/hip) is often not aligned, the knees move too far out. The result? Knee pain, especially during longer rides. In the long term, a poorly adjusted leg axis and the resulting bad postures can also lead to pain in the pelvis and lower back.
Leg power is not optimally transferred to the pedal via the foot. As a result, fatigue occurs faster.
The solution to the problem
Ergon has extensively and scientifically analyzed the disadvantages of conventional pedals and the resulting complaints. Taking into account the overall ergonomics of cycling, a completely new ergonomic pedal for the touring and fitness riders* has been developed, which solves the known problems and increases the riding enjoyment.

S-Shape for the ideal foot position
We have deliberately modeled the PT pedal on the natural shape of the foot and sole. The unique S-shape makes it easy to find the optimal foot position on the pedal.
Optimized power transmission
The ergonomic shape along with the inner stop supports the natural central alignment of the foot on the pedal. The pronounced inner stop positions the foot close to the crank so that the leg power is optimized for propulsion.
Better power transmission
Ergon designers have pulled the basic shape of the pedal away from the center axis – and for a good reason. Bio mechanical analyses show that leg power is transferred to the pedal in the best possible way, even when the feet are positioned centrally.
Grip and non-slip
A high-quality pedal must be non-slip. The particularly grippy surface of the Ergon PT (Griptape on both sides) prevents unwanted movements during the ride and keeps the foot in the correct position.
