Crankbrothers has super-sized its flagship flat pedal: the new Stamp EVO pairs a platform roughly 20% longer than the Stamp 7 with replaceable bashguards, rebuildable internals and a premium price to match.
A 20% bigger platform — and why that matters
Flat-pedal design has been creeping bigger for years, and Crankbrothers has just made the boldest move yet. The Stamp EVO takes the proven Stamp shape and stretches it: the size Large now spans 114 x 133mm, while the Small comes in at 103 x 117mm. Crucially, the extra real estate is added in length, not width — so you get more pedal under the ball and heel of your foot without raising the pedal's ground clearance or making strikes more likely from a wider body.
The goal is simple: spread the load over a larger area of the sole. More contact means more stability when you're hanging off the back through a rock garden, and less of that arch-fatigue ache on long, chattery descents. A thin 11–15.5mm body and 2.25mm of concavity per side are there to keep your foot locked in place once it lands.

A genuinely better big-foot flat pedal — supportive, rebuildable and tough — held back only by its weight and a premium price.
The honest balance
- Huge, supportive platform — 20% longer than the Stamp 7
- Thin 11–15.5mm body with 2.25mm concavity keeps your foot planted
- Replaceable bashguards and rebuildable IGUS internals (5-year warranty)
- 13 adjustable pins per side with three pin-length options
- Reviewers report excellent durability after months of rock strikes
- Heavy — roughly a third more than older Stamp pedals (~456–464g/pair)
- Premium price (~£199.99 (~R4 400) / $199.99 (~R3 300) / €199.99 (~R3 700))
- Big footprint can catch on rocks in tight, technical terrain
- Some testers found grip merely good, not class-leading
- Shorter pins and replacement parts add to the cost
Who should buy the Stamp EVO?
The reviews point to a clear buyer. If you have larger feet (Crankbrothers pegs the Large at US 10–15) or you ride long, rough descents where foot fatigue is the limiter, the EVO's extra platform pays for itself. Several testers said the support genuinely reduced end-of-run arch ache — the headline benefit Crankbrothers was chasing.
It is less obviously the pedal for tight, twisty tech where a longer body invites the odd rock strike, for grip absolutists chasing the tackiest pins on the market, or for grams-counters — at ~464g/pair it is decidedly not a lightweight. As The Loam Wolf put it, the size brings both benefits and drawbacks depending on your terrain.

How much does it weigh? +

The Stamp EVO is Crankbrothers doing one thing deliberately well: maximising support. The longer platform, thin profile and rebuildable, bashguard-protected build add up to a flat pedal that reviewers rate highly for stability and durability — off-road.cc's 8/10 sums up the mood. The trade-offs are real, though: it's heavy, it's pricey, and that big footprint can snag in proper tech. If you ride long descents or simply have big feet, it's a standout. If you count grams or thread tight singletrack, weigh it up first.
