The DMR Vault is one of the most respected flat pedals in mountain biking, voted the number one platform pedal by VitalMTB editorial staff for several years running. Developed and tested with Brendan Fairclough back in 2010, it has collected top marks in group tests and reviews ever since, with riders praising its low weight, smooth bearings and thin profile.
The body is extruded and CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium, with a 105mm x 105mm platform that is 1.5mm concave toward the centre to cradle your foot. A low 17mm profile gives you more ground clearance and fewer pedal strikes, and 22 replaceable DMR Flip pins per pedal deliver outstanding grip. Inside, a heat-treated 4140 CroMo axle runs on a high-load DU bush and cartridge bearing, all fully serviceable.
The Vault Brendogs come with BF signature graphics and a set of DMR Moto Pins for even more pedal grip – it’s what Brendan runs when he hits the biggest mountains, Hardlines, Rampage, and more. Additionally, we provide spare DMR Flip pins with these pedals, so you're able to tune your BF pedals to your preference.

Our thoughts:
There is a reason the Vault has been at the top of flat pedal rankings for so long. The thin, concave platform and long pins keep your feet planted without feeling bulky, and the internals hold up to years of abuse with the occasional service. Add a huge range of colours, including the Brendog and Lacon signature editions, and it is easy to see why the Vault remains a benchmark.
