Fastway "ankle saver" Air EXT footpegs review︱Cross Training Enduro 

I’ve had mine for a year and a half and I love them. They’ve saved my ankles many times.

Brilliant assessment of the product - Take it or leave it GUYS...at least You have the Pros & Cons....

I have been using them for a couple of years. I love them.

I have the original Ankle Savers foot pegs on both of my bikes. It is the 1st thing I buy for any new bike. The Fast Way ones are a licensing deal between the 2 companies I guess. I ride both MX, trail, and enduro I've had 2 ankle injuries over the last several years both times from a big flat landing and frontal hyperextension of my ankles. I was wearing Gaerne SG 10s both times. What people do not realize is those boots are the best around but NOT good for frontal overextension of your ankles. I learned that the hard way. Once I sprained both ankles at the same time, The ankle Saver pegs HELP for sure but will not guarantee your ankles from injury altogether. BUT I will not go without them they are on my top 10 list of all time best bike upgrades and add-ons.

I love my Fastway XC floorboards. Sooo much room to dance.

I enjoy all your reviews whether I agree with them or not. Being a horse rider as well, I ride all the time on the ball of my feet and I'm a firm believer that having the ankle free to move up and down it provides elasticity, better balance and control over your position (I did watch your other video about foot position on the peg, too). A proper, balanced position is having the ear, shoulder, hip and the back of the heel aligned in a vertical line, the chin up and look far ahead. The heel very little lower then the ball of the feet will add extra weight on the peg and keeps firm the lower body in position while allowing the upper body to follow freely the move of the horse or the bike. It is really fun to apply to a discipline what you've learned from another and to see that it works or, to put it differently, cross training skills :) Happy New Year!

What's next? Harley roadpegs? LOL. Nice review.

Love em they go on every bike I own

I overextended my ankle casing a jump. I know I’m supposed to move my foot up when that happens but I didn’t think of that in the 0.5 seconds I knew I was going to come up short. These pegs look pretty cool might have to try some sometime

What a sweet move at 2:28!!

I try to ride on the balls of my feet, but its hard due to an accident i had a few years ago, leaving my ankle weak. I had no idea these where a thing, thank you so much! I shall have to give these a go. I am also quite tall, and find my '89 xt 350 a bit small, maybe it will help with that too

I had these a couple years now and with my size 14 boot I like them. They do tend to drag in ruts but Iam used to that.

feet have balls !!!!!!!,no wonder mine hurt at the end of the day LOL.

Sidi crossfire is a phenomenal boot for the money

I checked and they're not available for my bikes. Perhaps they'd like someone with an fused ankle do product testing?

Useful review, cheers

I have a set of the Gen 1 Ankle Savers on my 2008 CRF450R. It's true, you don't even know they are there. Moreover, even when I case a jump hard I still don't notice them. The only thing I do notice is... I'm not about to pull off the track because my ankle feels like it might be broken. So yeah! I guess they work. They look like they would hinder with the kick start but it's a clean stroke.

I need theese along with steg pegs for when i huck my chopper off of mexican Sidwalks (to escape traffic)

These would be my second choice to pivot pegz

The crossfire's are awesome boots. I Had the sidi extreme boots before but they lacked shin protection.

The bark buster brand in the wheelie?

I really lucked out on my bikes.. almost every one I bought has had upgraded large pegs installed by the PO I was especially excited about the ones installed on my f800gs after I found out they are extremely pricey! Good video!

Hi I'm 3 years old 11ft 9. 719lbs, 8 months pregnant, abuse alcohol and allergic to bees. Will these help me ride better?

Good riding, mon!

hey i got the sidi crossfire 2 boots! stil I'm laying home with 27 stiches a couple titanium plates in my ankle and ordering fucking ankle savers xD

Hi Barry, I'm 6'5" w/ boots on, 255lbs riding a 2011 yz450. Would you recommend the EXT or EVO4? I saw both vids but not sure which you prefer. I mostly look forward to the low setting of both. Is the ankle saver feature worth the extra $100? I ask bc I know my kickstarter will hit it, which you may have not experienced w/ the electric start of the KTM... Thanks in advance mate! Keep up the great work.

Barry, have any of your mates tried Pivot Pegs ? Love to have a review of those great Aussie inventions. Maybe more suited to desert racing than technical stuff, i dunno?

I broke my ankle requiring 5 plates and a dozen screws. It was due to landing a jump on the balls of my feet. Not even a big jump. These foot pegs were something I really wanted to get afterwards. I have CR500's and cant use them because the kick starter hits them. Now that I got a Beta with electric start, I'm gonna get a set of these. I recommend them to anyone not requiring a kick starter. Would have saved me thousands of dollars and about 6 months off work. I was wearing Fox Instinct boots. They didn't save me.

Pretty weird looking peg! Love to try them out to see how they feel though.

Nice!

Have you ever used the Fox instinct off road/ endure boots? or do you know someone who has and how have any idea how the grip to stands up to the SG12 or crossfire?

I Just traded in my DR650 for a CRF250L Should I Buy these pegs???

i cracked my feets when charging for a jump... Where can i get those`??????

Hi and thanks for all the instructive videos. I've learned heaps in just a few days. I have a question though. 30 years after selling my last XR I recently went for a ride with a friend and was instantly hooked again. Grins from ear to ear for days. Anyway, I immediately shot down to my local Honda dealer (because this is what I know) and impulse bought a CRF250R second hand. Since then I've done a bit of research and found this is probably not the best choice for the style of riding I will be doing (trail and cross country) so I will be making a few mods like the fly wheel. My main issue at the moment is the clutch which might as well be an on/off switch. The shop told me it was replaced about 2 riding hours ago and is essentially brand new so I am wondering if this is normal for an MX style bike and if there is a way to give it a bit more play? What are the options?

Well the butt hurt clan seemed to come out for this one. I like the idea of having a bit of extra support on the bike, I may not need these yet as my skills as at a level that would make a novice gumby laugh but down the road they will be a nice edition to the tuscan beauty.

Idk why, but that raiser makes it looks like a giraffe It's awesome tho

Where does most of the riding in this video take place? Beautiful

I have the evo 4 pegs and theyve been working great for the past 8 months or so the only problem is the dumb springs that fastway uses always come loose and then the peg starts to wobble its fine when in riding i dont notice it but i end up ziptying it in place and when it breaks i just put another ziptie its just irritating

I notice you like your handlebars setup very tall. How tall are you.

Been riding bikes for over 40 years, now way would i use a set of these floor boards..

i need a pai for my rugby ankles, i also need money to buy a pair of pegs :/

I don't like it, after a bump or jump you ankles have to flex to absorb the impact just as they would when you normally jump when walking or running. Your legs are extension of your bike suspension. Better improve you riding positions and stay fit so your legs can work as designed...

They do not hold up well to rocky enduro riding. They get loose where the pin goes through. Big waste of 250 dollars.

6th :P

Mmmm I may need these, I thought I was a weirdo using the balls of my feet because when I stand up and shift gears I tend to bend my left leg moved forward and my right leg is straight 🤔

пидали поставьте от машины))))))

1 thumb down,the mupett comment musta hit home somawers

Youve GOT to dance on your footpegs, you dont just stand on the balls of your feet and call it a day. Its one of the absolute biggest differences between correct riding technique and not having a clue. Understand it and everything else falls into place. These type of footpegs are silly and will ruin any progress in a similar way as stegpegz. Rediculous invention for the clueless and gullible.
