Candy is dandy.
One of the most versatile pedals in Crank Brother's collection, the Candy 1 Pedals excel at everything from fast-paced XC racing to aggressive trail rides. They're larger than the XC-oriented Eggbeaters, yet smaller than the downhill-crushing Mallets, striking the sweet spot between lightweight efficiency and confidence-inspiring surface area when dismounts on technical trails are commonplace.
The composite body retains a lightweight feel while standing up to the occasional rock strike on the trail, while the stamped steel wings provide intuitive four-sided entry that sheds muck every time you clip in. Customizable release angles of 15 and 20 degrees allow you to bail quickly during sketchy situations or stay clipped in for extra security when things get rowdy. This customizable release is key for beginners just getting started, allowing them to gain peace of mind for dismounting quickly when they're about to fall on the trail.

Light but vague feeling
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Had a set of these for a couple of weeks when I was making the transition from flats to clips on my trail bike. They're decently light weight but the feeling of clipping in and out was very vague - like I wasn't ever sure if I was clipped in without lifting my foot and clipping out never seemed to be at the same point of rotation of my foot. There's no functional adjustment other than the brass cleats but swapping them out didn't help much. Ended up giving them to a friend who likes CB pedals and picked up a set of SPDs which was a much better decision.

best light cost effective xc pedal
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have used these pedals for xc racing for about 10 years. When you consider the weight and the price there is nothing even close. I will say these are mean to replace after a significant amount of wear. I usually buy 1 set every 2 years or so of hard riding. I love em. easy to get in especially if your starting on a hill or other technical terrain where you need somewhat of a flat pedal to get established.

Great pedal, great price
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Use these on my gravel/ commuter bike and work great. Stepped up to these from egg beaters for some increased platform size and decreased foot pressure

Caused me to crash on a descent
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've put maybe 200 miles on these finicky pedals and they re-payed me with a failure to keep my feet locked in. The retention system bent while pedaling and suddenly released on a descent causing me to crash. Spent the rest of that ride with my foot consistently releasing while pedaling on the road. I don't write many reviews on BC, but after having this happen to me I figured I'd give a heads up.
