Last year we spotted Bigfoot first, when Ritchey launched their first-ever MTB flat pedals with a plastic platform. But then, earlier this year, we spied a more premium aluminum upgrade together with a few new bars, while in Taiwan for the Taipei Cycle show. Now those extruded and machined alloy pedals are ready to hit the trail, in Classic silver or WCS black, whichever best matches your bike.
Ritchey Alloy Bigfoot flat pedals in WCS black & Classic silver
Simple burly aluminum flat pedals, with a big platform and plenty of grip. Designed to keep you planted whether riding local singletrack, running errands around town, or exploring backcountry terrain far from home on an adventure bikepacking trek.
Ritchey follows up their popular composite Comp Bigfeet with two new alloy options. Pick WCS black for a low-key stealth look, or Classic silver if you prefer shiny components on your bike. Either way, you’ll get a no-nonsense platform pedal that should keep your cranks spinning for years to come. They spin on a heavy-duty chromoly axle, with a pretty standard combo of bushings and bearings that can easily be serviced. Ritchey offers the bearing overhaul as an affordable service part, as well as replacement pins if you shred yours doing grinds.

Ritchey Alloy Bigfoot – Pricing, options & availability
The new Ritchey Alloy Bigfoot flat pedals come in one size and two colors, both with the same $120 / 100€ price tag. Even though the black ones are dubbed WCS and the silver ones are called Classic, there’s no functional difference, other than the color of their anodizing.
Or you can still get the incrementally smaller, a tiny bit thicker, but almost 20% lighter Comp Bigfoot flat pedals with a black or tan nylon body for just $49 / 49€ if your budget is tight.
