Description The MKS Sylvan Road NEXT Pedal is a classically styled, compact road pedal with sealed bearings & compatible with toe clips & straps. The Sylvan Road is built around a compact pedal body and features a single-sided one-piece cage plate. This plate curves around the end cap of the pedal, that allows for more clearance when cornering. And protects the axle from pedal strike. The cage plate tooth profile is essentially flat, so MKS recommend toe clips and straps with this pedal. The Sylvan Next is the new premium level of pedals from MKS which maintain the Sylvan’s traditional styling while reducing the pedal weight by 24 grams. Sylvan NEXT pedals use MKS’ Triple Sealed Cartridge Bearings- providing a remarkably smooth and maintenance-free rotation at a lighter weight than cup and cone bearings. The low drag bearing improves pedaling efficiency, making the NEXT series ideal for long distance riding. Sylvan NEXT pedals use screws to fasten the plate to the pedal body making them replaceable- or customizable. To match the improved performance, MKS have upgraded the finish of the Sylvan NEXT pedals. The Sylvan NEXT is available in high polish chrome plated mirror finish on the axle, pedal body, or chrome plated axle with black pedal body. The highly polished chrome plated spindle has extremely strong anti-corrosive qualities, providing enhanced durability to salt and water.

Do not inject lubricant into cartridge sealed bearings. Lubrication fluid stimulates grease leakage and shortens the bearing lifespan. The dust seal cap also functions as the bearing adjuster. If you loosen the cap, it may cause play and premature wear.
