The replaceable pins thread into nuts on the opposite side of the body, making them not only far more resilient to being smashed on rocks than if they threaded into the body itself, but also removes the risk of damaging the threads in the pedal body.

Deity Compound pedal details:

- Nylon fiber blend pedal body
- 345 grams per set
- Pins thread into replaceable nuts
- MSRP $45 USD (>separate pedal bodies for $9)

  Deity is at Sea Otter showing off a ton of new parts, including their Compound pedals. Unlike a lot of other non-metal pedals, the Compounds are not made of brittle polycarbonate that can be prone to shatter upon impact, but rather a nylon fiber blend that Deity claims is far more resistant to cracking. The material is also said to be able to slide over rocks and roots that might hang up a metal bodied pedal.

Total weight is an impressive 354 grams, and equally impressive is their suggested retail price of just $45 USD. Replacement bodies sell for $9 USD.


Deity's Dirty 30 bars have a new two tone anodized finish for 2011 that involves masking the bar before bead blasting, followed by anodizing before the water transfer decals are applied.<br><br><span style='font-size:19px'>Deity Dirty 30 bar details:</span><br><br>- Double butted 7075 T6 aluminum<br>- 30 inch (<i>760</i>)br>- 9 degree bend, 5 degree upsweep<br>- Weight: 289 grams

 We only brought a few of our new handlebars to show our riders as we are focusing on our new frames at this years Sea Otter Classic. The new 2012 Handlebar line will be available in August and blows anything out on the market away. It is THE best component work we have done and the response has been astounding (and that is with them not even being "officially" displayed).

The pic only shows a brief glimpse at the ano detail and we are not yet releasing full images, but if it says anything...every major bar manufacturer at Sea Otter has come by our spot to look at them. Trust us, it is for a reason. Our new 2012 line is insane, will bring us to the top of the game, and we did not even bring any of it to show with the exception of a few of the bars which have been making quite an impression on anyone who holds one.

Preview images will come up on our Facebook page and Blog over the following month or two....

FYI...the pic shown is not our 2012 Dirty30 handlebars. They are the new Topsoils...

 All of our 2012 Handlebar line will come in black, purple, green, red, and white...

The upcoming Blacklabels, Dirty30s, and Topsoils will also feature our trademark two tone ano finish that is amazing to look at in person.

 going to need a review of the pedals before i purchase. had some PC for bmx and there fine for park and street, but when it comes to dirt your foot does not connect like it would with metal.(i guess because of the dust) and the more traction for DH the better.

 theyre not polycarbonate
theyre nylon which is a thermoplastic
theyre generally less brittle than thermosets

so could mean more flexibilty, but that probably wont be true due to teh composition

 Some useful info for everyone...this pedal mold is not exclusive to anyone and is made by HT. We have stated that from the beginning and is why we sell it at $45 (which is cheaper than anyone else we have found) and replacement pedal bodies are $9. Not rocket science...just a good product offered at a good price.

We will have them in multiple colors also...

When it comes to investing into our own tooling...this is where our handlebars destroy anyone else and we can surely guarantee that the new bar line will be turning some heads when we launch it.

 Ha wow those pedals are just like premium slim pc pedals except with metal pins. Thats funny though cause I was wondering why they didnt make them with metal pins cause mine snapped of on one side pretty quick. I wish these came out before I bought my pedals.

For comparison: https://images.danscomp.com/images/products/mid_465031.gif

 Deity's stuff is really good product for the money, I use their bars, stems and cranks/BB and have bashed them for years with no troubles.
These new changes and color choices look pretty tasty.
Nice work!

 You bet your a$$! They're a company looking to make money, not some charity on a quest for honour and integrity. Why bother with R&D when you can just (for a fraction of the cost) modify the part (or not even) after buying it from the real inventor/manufacturer, and sell them for a different price under your own name? If the kids will buy them, they've succeeded haven't they? Marketing/Sales brilliance! Razz
