Burgtec Penthouse MK5 Flat Pedal
Bigger, grippier, lighter and as tough as ever. The Penthouse Flat MK5 pedal is here!
We didn’t stop to think about the future when our journey started some 17-years ago on the slopes of Schladming in ‘03. The prototype MK1 Penthouse Flat that debuted that weekend inevitably paved the way for the MK2 in ‘07, the MK3 in ‘09 and the MK4 in ‘14. While much has changed in that time, our focus towards building the toughest and grippiest flat pedals on the market remains the same.
Our goals for the MK5 mountain bike pedals followed the same design and development path as every other pedal before it; utilise any advances in materials and manufacturing, balance the weight and durability, and maximise the amount of grip. From the MK4 to the MK5, we shed 65 grams per pair. The platform footprint was increased by 7%, the dish by 1mm and the pin width was decreased by 0.5mm.
REFINEMENT
Taking on feedback from the MK4 mtb pedals we tried a number of different Q-factors to balance the foot’s position in relation to the cranks.
With every flat pedal shoe on the market at our disposal, we experimented with different platform sizes, pin widths, and pin heights to maximise grip underfoot.
It was of the utmost importance that the MK5’s internals represents the best of the best. To do this we specced the most wear-resistant bushings from Igus. Their "Endurance Runner" material - W300 - was a clear winner as this gave unrivalled resistance to external influences. Mud and water ingress is kept at bay with a full-contact oil seal. This keeps grease in and contaminants out even in the harshest of conditions. This configuration of quality parts is why the Penthouse series has a reputation for outstanding longevity.

Great pedal.
"Fantastic and beautiful piece of art. I would not used it if I would not need the best platform pedal ! Highly recommended. As it is an uk brand you must look for European reviews as mountain biker magazines or mountain biking uk. Big platform, lightweight and wonderful design and color"
Poor grip, poor value
"Pins are very short, and provide very little grip. Design of the pins is proprietary so you can't substitute anything else to customize grip. Broaching on the axles is unfinished and has large shards of metal in the 8mm hole that collect dirt/moisture and promote corrosion. Not a very good pedal given the premium price."
nice pedals
"love the look and hopefully it holds up bike park days"
Burgtec MK5 Pedals in Kash bronze
"These Burgtec pedals have been so far with about 120 miles on my Yeti SB150. Burgtec is a UK brand and is becoming more popular here in the US. I did lots of research of flat pedals and current have Race Faces Atlas pedals. The Altas have been solid for years, I dont like the large bump at the inside pedal to house the large bearing. I also wanted a more concave platform. The MK5 has a nice concave design and mounts closer to the cranks for a slightly better Q-factor. They provide great grip with my Five Ten shoes. The MK5 is also made of 7075 aluminum! I was hoping the Burgtecs Kash bronze would match Foxs kashima coating but its a few shades darker."
