i like running stock pegs there cheap and reliable but im also a broke highschool kid that works at a welding shop everryday after school to afford my stuff
I ran Fastway's on my last bike (Crf250x). I have not bought new foot pegs for my KTM350XCF but I absolutely loved the Fastways, so I am leaning that way again. I liked how wide they were, adjust-ability to a "lower" setting as I am tall. Plus you could also adjust the camber. Very, very tough and adjustable!!
Hey Kyle ,great vids keep them coming.fitted pivot pegs years ago these pegs have saved my ankles going in and out of gullies( getting old) great pegs.d
Thanks for the review. As a noobie/newbie to DS, I have switched out the OEM pegs on my KLX 300 (and my friends') and a DR350SE with D2Moto units. Inexpensive but adequate for our purposes and they make a world of difference having a wider platform and weight distribution. Feet don't tire out nearly as fast as with OEM.
I have a 1988 Vinduro TT350 Yamaha. I am proud to announce an Australian company called Pivot Pegz. They hail from Tasmania. A pristine Alpine state that has some of the most arduous terrain to test aftermarket peg products. They care about what you ride, how you ride and "come back to ride" everyday. From forgotten Hero's on hidden daily's to modern day spectacles, THEY KNOW THEIR STUFF. Just ask the owners they answer the phone.
hey Kyle...I'm running some ProMoto billet fastway Evo 3s. They are made of stainless steel, have a nice wide platform and are very robust. We ride NE rocky single track and our pegs do get hammered a fair amount. The pegs are also completely rebuildable. You can also adjust them ½" down from stock for taller riders. Every winter when I completely go through my bike I freshen them up with some new cleats....around $20 a time. I love these pegs & also again, like the fact that they are made here in the US...keep the vids coming, appreciate your time & thoughts, cheers Rob
kyle keep up the great videos have learned alot.just bought an 2013 ktm xcw300 off the showroom.so far love the bike.just ordered a lectron carb too getting anxious about trying it out.did alot of homework about it and looking forward to running it.thanks again and keep those great vids coming.Scott
+sleathers1551 Thanks for letting me know about your new bike. That is great. If you have any troubles (I don't anticipate any) with the Lectron, give them a call. They are really helpful over there.
Dear Kyle, Australians riding KTM at world class levels are starting to be like a glass of milk "every day regular". So is it no surprise that KTM for team and select professional riders of Australia are being tuned for a sensational peg made in the Most Southern State of Australia by a simply beautiful Mum and Dad company. Called Pivot Pegz. They provide every edge possible that KTM factory power parts have covered but not quite excelled. This Tasmanian company have perfected the surface area to functionality argument of broad peg problems with a peg that pivots with forward and aft movement with optimal surface area contact whilst accessing break and gear lever. Beautiful in design and execution it certainly is worth just 2min of your time. I ride in dessert conditions on excellent Vinduro class machines, these products bring a 44year old the edge to outpace and out perform more modern riders just thru less fatigue and pressure point exertion.
The aftermarket ones tend to chew up boot soles and boots cause of those sharp teeth. I like the stock pegs and the IMS ones, which look stock, but are tougher and also a bit wider
I love my promotobillet pegs, I'm tall, and they move the pegs both down and rearward, giving me more space for my body. They are wider than stock, and use allen bolts. They feel great under my boot. Kinda expensive, but well worth it for me.
+Randy Johnson I have pivot pegs. They are great for trails, but when you are going faster it limits your ability to push the bike when trying to turn. It also makes it harder to brake on down hills. I would rather have stock pegs.
+Randy Johnson I have had Pivot Pegz on my 300XC for about a year. I spend most of my time trail riding with a few races here and there. They are great and work well for me. +Johnathan Yinger My experience is the opposite. The rotation of the peg gives me greater control over braking, especially downhill.
I don't run these, but pivot pegz are great, they pivot so when you go downhill for example they pivot forward to give a a better grip on the bike. This also makes shifting and back brake use much easier.
I had a set of pivot pegs on my last bike, they drove me insane and I didn't adjust to them over a season and a half. I found they allowed my foot to rock to unexpected positions, leaving me off balance. They caused issues changing gears where my boot would get pinched between the peg and shift lever after an up shift in some situations. I hated them, lots of people love them. I suspect 20+ years of ingrained riding techniques are hard to retrain!
I have those warp 9 footpegs, I use my bike on the road for the most part. I got them because they look good. They grip my feet a bit better, but i honestly don't think you need aftermarket pegs unless you do the type of riding that depends on grip between the foot and the pegs. One last thing is that the orange has started to fade away after a few years
I just bought a set of big foot the pegs are so much wider then the stock pegs on my 2006 ya 85 cost around 90 dollars have not put them on yet we been having so much rain plan to get me a wide set on my 2000 rm 250 I were a size 13 shoe that's the reason I need a wide set of foot pegs I think they will be more comfortable great video I enjoy your video make more I let you no in a couple weeks how the big foot pegs are thanks again for all the information
not that it matters but I believe the stock pegs are a cast magnesium alloy. I was grinding mine once and got white sparks which is usually comes from magnesium
I run the Fastway Evo air in the lowboy position on my Beta. I would recommend them, especially to taller riders. I really can tell the difference when I ride my friends kx250 with stock pegs.
I know this is off topic, but have you considered getting into trials bike riding? Trials bikes are fun and a lot of the skills can be learned easily and transferred to the larger bikes. Most importantly I'd love to see trials video's from this channel. It's just a thought but you can pick up tons of technical skills and apply them to your dirt bike.
+Dirt Bike Channel I bought one for the same reason but I realized how much it actually effected how I ride and they are a valuable tool. Sadly I had to sell mine recently because of other expenses. But if you have the extra money it's well worth getting into.
stock pegs are a cast alloy steel (previous commenter said magnesium...they would need to be much bulkier as its more similar to aluminum, and would be brittle and expensive). I probably wouldn't run aluminum pegs on nasty trails, they won't take impacts as well. Moose makes a few different stainless steel pegs (normal or offset) that have a convex tooth profile to allow for front to back foot rotation. Buy titanium if you also like fancy expensive watches.
+Zedro nurinburg Thanks for taking time to comment. I've taken my aluminum pegs on some REALLY nasty, rocky trails with out a problem. Sure, I've broken stock and aftermarket pegs on some of those trails in the past.
I ran Pro Taper pegs with the steel, spiky inserts and thought they were "ok". I then rode stock pegs on my rental bike at Romaniacs in 2013, my feet ached for weeks afterward. Made me think that maybe there was something to the idea of a wider peg!
On enduro bikes I think stock foot pegs are fine because your foot is moving on and off the peg more often making it undesirable to have a lot of traction on the peg
+Dirt Bike Channel I guess it's up to rider preference but for me I don't have a problem with the stock peg. Although I could see the benefits of a wider peg.
+Dirt Bike Channel Another very important factor is the type of boot your using and what material it's made of can give a rider different experience on each peg
I'm looking for shorter pegs, The new stock pegs are way too long and hit me in the calf When I have to put my foot down makes it dangerous. I'm a short rider 5Ft 6inch. It's hard to get my legs away from the pegs. The pigs on my 23 gas gas gas EC250 look like they should be on a quad. I've not found a review on long pegs versus short pegs
Im running the fastway footpegs on my crf450x at the moment. Suprisingly, I dont like them. They have a great footprint but they just lose all of their grip as soon as my boot gets wet or muddy. I would say i prefer the stock pegs over these ones
Regarding materials: stock footpegs in Yammy YZ are made from titanium. Dunno about KTM stock pegs , but cast aluminium will be breake at any occasion. I think they made it from something stronger :)
They aren't a foot peg, but have a look at Steg Pegz. They bolt to your sub frame and help you pinch onto the bike while standing with very little effort. Several of my friends run them and they certainly help lock you in. Being an Aussie invention you see a lot of bikes out in the bush running them over here.
+krazed0451 I've seen people in Aussie land talking and raving about them. I haven't tried them yet, but they seem pretty cool. The thing that has kept me on the fence is I'm wondering if they would get in my way on the many steep downhill sections I find myself on.
+Dirt Bike Channel That's the only thing keeping me away from them. I'll try to get some more time on my mates bikes which should a lot easier since I picked up a 300rr, everyone wants a go on the Beta ;-)
I was always wondering if the Tusk pegs were strong enough, it looks like they can take a lot of abuse. Thanks for the good video. Have you noticed any added stability with the wider platform?
+Phen0mable It wouldn't be fair since I've not had any significant time on the Beta. Until I get to ride one for a few hours, I would just be speculating.
If you want to avoid the marketing BS and have the same thing as the orange one, go on ebay and buy direct from China. You can find the same billet aluminium T7 7075 pegs with the steel pins without a brand name written on it for.. less than 50$, including shipping.
Amazingly there are stainless chinese pegs for $12 a pair FREE SHIPPING ....I'm afraid to buy them was hoping to hear from someone that tried em ....you cant return crap to china basically. Have to be stronger than stock aluminum units on a vstrom ....there are stock looking aluminum ones too very cheap but if the stock aluminum broke on me then how can I trust chinese peg?
Amazing Steve. Your legs feel soo supported in the up-right position you can hold longer standing racing or relaxed riding in the upright position without fatigue. Interesting the in-direct benefit is less arm pump, shoulder pump and neck fatigue. The back of your calf catches the rubber pukk with great ease. The new dessert Enduro version " bigger" pukk even more grip.
I ran those same Tusk pegs and broke one. They look like they're billet but they are not. They are cast. The stock pegs have taken way more abuse and have held up just fine.
Dirt Bike Channel my point wasn't that they're breakable. It was more about the fact that they look like they're billet but really aren't. They're a little misleading I think and I thought I heard you mention the word billet in the video. Regardless, great videos. Keep up the good work!
Dirt Bike Channel Dirt no worries, Kyle. Love the videos. I just didn't want anyone to buy these thinking they were billet. I probably should have left the comment about the stock pegs off the original post.
+Dirt Bike Channel will do! I love your channel, about a year ago I picked up a 1995 kdx200 for almost free! I had to replace all the electricals and got it running! By that time it was time to take the WHOLE bike apart and sandblast the frame and prime then painted it a nice gun metal grey "Oem Suzuki frame color" and replaced all the plastics with an my style rear fender and it looks like a brand new bike! The question is for an all around bike (enduro and motocross) should I sell this bike and buy a used 2000-2005 kx250? Much appreciated, Frank
The stock foot peg on my (value-oriented) bike comes with removable rubber "steps" (i don't know what they're called). I don't like the rubber as they tend to be slippery when wet. I think I would prefer the metal teeth of the peg if they are removed or an aftermarket footpeg. However I don't want to change a lot of other things on the bike as I really prefer my bikes stock. If I remove these pegs or install aftermarket pegs, will i have to adjust the height of the shifter too?
Dirt Bike Channel i'm sorry i may have said my question wrong. Is it height of the shifter? or angle of the shifter? i don't know a lot of how the parts are called in english. I assumed since the peg will be a lower when the rubber is removed my foot wont be able to reach and "pull back" on the shifter. I have had some rather bad experience playing around with the shifter on my first bike(before this one) so I didn't want to destroy my new bike in the first month.
Thank you for the quick response and your great videos. I thought as you mentioned your big feet you have some trouble hitting the break too. Happy New Year from Berlin, Martin
