Sometimes company mergers result in some really cool products. In the case of Gamut acquiring Point One Racing, Gamut planned on redesigning a few of their key parts with the help of Jimmy Amaral from Point One. As one of the first true collaborations between the two groups, Gamut’s new Podium pedal is the evolution of what would have been the Point One Podium 2. It might get a bit confusing since Point One’s first pedal was called the Podium, but from here on out it will just be referred to as the Podium pedal from Gamut.
Differing slightly from the Point One Podium 2, the photos sent to us by Gamut represent the new Gamut Podium – a wide, flat pedal that should be popular for those who would rather not clip in…
Based on a 100x100mm wide aluminum platform, the Podium pedals use a forged body that spins on a heat treated chromoly axle for strength. Four sealed cartridge bearings are used per pedal which are part of the Podium’s two piece axle system. That arrangement allows for a durable bearing design without having a big ridge along the axle and still allows for a thin design.
Measuring between 8 and 10mm in thickness, the pedal has some toothy looking hollow 7075 aluminum M5 studs that will certainly bite. In spite of the 295g weight, Gamut calls the podium the “lightest, thinnest, and most reliable pedal available.” Retail is set for $169.95 with pedals available in a few months.
When we last saw the Cillos direct mount stem it was still in the prototype phase, but fairly far along. Now close to production, the final version will be all black with an anodized finish on the 3D forged and machined stem. The multiple mount design allows the same stem to be set at 45, 50, and 55mm all with zero rise. Available in a 31.8mm clamp, the stem has a claimed weight of 124g.
To make the perfect companion for the Cillos and Cillos direct mount stems, Gamut is introducing the Cillos handlebars. Called the TR for trail and DH for, well, downhill, the aluminum bars are sold in 760 or 800mm widths.
The TR bars will be available in either a 20 or 30mm rise, each with a 5 degree up and 7 degree backsweep. Sold in 31.8mm to match the stems, claimed weight is around 275g.
Gamut’s DH bars have the same options as the TR bars, just in a wider 800mm size. Due to the extra width, the weight jumps up to 375g.
The new pedals, bars, and stems will join Gamut’s growing line of accessories that includes their ubiquitous chain guides, new narrow-wide TTR chainrings, and more.
