off.road.cc - DMR Vault Max Pedals

"The DMR VMAX is a great-looking pedal, especially in its Kashima-matching Light Bronze colour, and it’s one of those few pedals that looks better with the odd bit of wear thrown on after a few rides."

"DMR has made its name on durability, and the brand’s track record of producing bombproof kit has only been extended with the VMAX. Although slimmer, there’s always a chance of whacking a pedal on something, and after a solid number of harsh impacts, the pedal is still spinning and performing exactly as it should. It’s great to see such an array of seals built into the pedal, too, as its bearings are still rotating smoothly, even after a few months of some incredibly gross weather."

"I’m a big fan of platformed SPD, or any platformed clipless pedals for that matter, and the VMAX has proven to be another valid entry into a quickly growing market. And DMR has done a cracking job in the shape and size of the platform here. When clipped in, it provides a discernible level of support that boosts control, feedback and feel, resulting in a ridiculously solid connection between rider and bike, especially when slamming through choppy terrain and tipping the bike into corners."
