Black Dog Cycle Work’s KTM foot pegs are a winner. I knew just after purchasing my KTM 990R that I was going to have to replace the foot pegs because they were too darn small. The light and tough BDCW foot pegs are made of aircraft aluminum and installation was a snap. Within ten minutes, the Black Dog foot pegs were mounted and ready for testing using nothing more than a pair of pliers,

The foot print measures 2.5” wide x 4.25” long, which I found to be ample real estate for my size 13 boots and a large improvement over the stock foot pegs. Cueing the bike by applying pressure to these beauties really enhanced handling on single track, high speed sand whoops and on extended highway jaunts. The large surface area covered with traction cleats offers a secure feeling while standing, especially in technical sections. Traction was excellent against my smooth sole adventure boots.

While hanging out after a full day of riding, almost everyone commented on how these new units look–nothing like a little understated bling on an adventure bike. The built in bottle opener located on the bottom side of the foot pegs made for a nice conversation piece and came in handy for few riders opening their favorite bottled beverages before discussing the day’s ride.

If you have a KTM Adventure bike and can't quite get comfortable on the machine because the stock foot pegs are too small then consider the Black Dog Cycle Works offering. MSRP: $ 219.00 BlackDogCW.com
