MKS Orbiter

Lightweight on a cosmic scale. A double-sided flat pedal with a lightweight 344g body that provides a solid grip.

MKS / Mikashima Seisakusho is a pedal manufacturer that Japan is proud of. With technology honed over many years and the meticulous craftsmanship unique to “MADE IN JAPAN,” it remains a brand beloved by countless cyclists.

Introducing the Orbiter from MKS. With a slightly futuristic look reminiscent of a satellite, the name derives from the “orbital motion” of the crank and the “rotation” of the pedal itself. While the name is clever, the product itself is dead serious.

The first thing that surprises you is how light they are—just 344g per pair. Thanks to a newly developed lightweight shaft and bearing structure, they maintain rigidity while achieving a slim profile.

The tread features 11 pins and a gently concave shape. This design grips the sole of your shoe firmly, providing a sense of security not only on paved roads but also on slightly rough terrain.

The rotation feel has been deliberately tuned to prevent excessive spinning, ensuring a smooth transition when you start pedaling again after lifting your foot. From city riding to touring and gravel rides—this is the perfect pair for riders who want it all: lightness, a great pedaling feel, and durability.
