What type of bearings are used in X pedals?
Speedplay X/1 Titanium and X/2 Stainless pedals turn on one precision needle bearing and two precision cartridge bearings. The X/5 Chrome-Moly pedals turn on one precision needle bearing and one precision cartridge bearing. It is important to recognize that the high quality “rolling element” bearings used in X pedals provide an advantage of 40% less rolling resistance than the plastic “sleeve” bushings used in some other pedal systems.
