Race Face has been making quality flat pedals for a while now, with the 2nd generation of their Atlas model holding down a respectable if not spectacular position in our flat pedal rankings .

Yes they are expensive, but when you consider what goes into making it, and that a frame isn't any more money than a Santa Cruz frame, well it starts to look pretty good. The latest batch of completely bare frames is such a bold move. If you've ever watched a video on how Koenigsegg makes their bare panels, then you know how...
