Desert Racer is on a distinguished road
Well in a half doughy state after a nightshift I visited my local bike shop to upgrade my foot pegs. I took the plunge & ended up with Pivot Pegz MK3


Nice packaging & look the business.



Definatly a bit more to rest the feet on than the originals.




They were a 5 minute swap over. They are well made.
I haven't been for a ride yet, but sitting on the bike, first thought was I should have had a decent nights sleep, looked a bit more on xt660.com before purchasing on impulse. The main concern being the widest 60mm version is they probably use the same spring as the older 50mm wide ones which with the extra spread gives more leverage on the pivot thus making the pivot spring feel a little to loose ( the rocking motion back to front ) It takes very little effort to roll them back & forth so may result in less feed back through the pegs. Also they do require maintenance, Racing every 15hrs, Casual off road every 30hrs, Dual sport / road trail 90hrs. According to the info sheet supplied. They don't tell you that anywhere before you buy. Any way as I say I haven't ridden with them yet but I'm feeling as though for the price it would be nice to be able to lock out the pivot if you require. We'll see how they go.
