Product Details

Overview & Technology

Chromag Scarab (MPN 180-001-001, Prod. #450818) is built around one of the widest platforms available — a 110 x 108mm footprint that increases contact area and stability under aggressive riding. The body is CNC-formed from durable aluminium for stiffness and long-term durability, while a heat-treated Cr-Mo spindle resists bending and fatigue under heavy loads. The Scarab combines a shallow concave profile (just 13mm at the platform center) with multiple pin placement options to lock your foot in place without feeling harsh. Bearings use a combination of sealed cartridge and bushings for a smooth, serviceable axle with good longevity in wet and muddy conditions.

Key Features & Real-World Benefits

Platform size & shape: The large 110 x 108mm platform spreads pressure across your sole, improving traction and reducing hot spots on long rides. The 13mm concave guides your foot into the center for consistent contact through cornering and jumps. Construction & drivetrain interface: An aluminium body paired with a Cr-Mo spindle keeps weight reasonable (430g) without sacrificing strength. The mixed bushing and sealed bearing setup balances low maintenance with rebuildability — you get smooth rotation out of the box and easy servicing down the line.

Fit, Compatibility & Maintenance

The Scarab uses a standard 9/16" thread and fits virtually every MTB crank arm. Its higher Q-factor compared to Chromag Contact pedals gives a wider stance for riders who prefer added stability or run wide-soled shoes. Available colors include Black, Red, Gold, Blue and Silver to match your build. Routine maintenance is straightforward: keep the sealed bearings clean, occasionally re-grease the bushing area, and check pin tightness. The pedal ships at 430g per pair and the robust Cr-Mo spindle can be serviced or replaced if needed.

Who the Scarab Is For

The Scarab is aimed at mountain riders who want a confidence-inspiring flat pedal — trail, enduro and all-mountain riders who prioritize platform area, stability, and tunable traction will get the most from it. Riders stepping up from smaller platforms will notice improved control and contact immediately. If you ride aggressive terrain, like bombing techy descents, slashing berms or jumping, the Scarab’s wide platform and customizable pin layout give predictable footing and extra control where it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Scarab pedals compatible with all crank arms?

Yes. The Scarab uses a standard 9/16" pedal thread and will fit the vast majority of mountain-bike cranksets. Always confirm your crank uses a 9/16" thread — BMX and some specialty cranks may differ.

How do the 42 placement options work?

The Scarab's platform features 42 threaded pin positions allowing you to add, remove, or reposition pins for personal grip preference. This lets you dial in traction and pressure points for your shoe and riding style without changing the pedal.

What maintenance do these pedals need?

Maintenance is minimal: keep the pedal body and bearings free of grit, check and tighten pins periodically, and service the bushing area with fresh grease as needed. The sealed cartridge bearings reduce frequency of overhauls but should be inspected after heavy use.

Are these pedals good for downhill or enduro?

Yes. The wide platform and concave profile provide stability and security for aggressive riding. While designed as a flat pedal for mountain use, riders who need maximum platform area and pin customization will appreciate them for enduro and aggressive trail riding.

How do they compare to Chromag Contact pedals?

Compared to Chromag Contact pedals, the Scarab offers a wider platform and a slightly higher Q-factor for a broader stance. The larger footprint increases support and we’ve optimized concavity and pin placement for more consistent grip with larger or chunkier shoes.

What material are the pedals made from and how much do they weigh?

The Scarab features an aluminium body and a Cr-Mo spindle. A pair weighs approximately 430g, striking a balance between a large, durable platform and reasonable weight for trail use.

Buying Guide

When choosing platform pedals, prioritize platform size, concavity, pin configuration and materials. Larger platforms like the Scarab (110 x 108mm) increase contact area and stability, while a measured concave (13mm center) helps center your foot without feeling restrictive. Aluminium bodies offer a strong, lightweight base and Cr-Mo spindles provide durability under heavy loads. Consider bearing type — sealed cartridges reduce maintenance and keep things spinning smoothly, while bushings can be easier to service. Finally, match pedal width and Q-factor to your stance and shoe choice to avoid knee strain and get the best feel on technical terrain.
