White Brothers Tri-Pro Dirt Bike Footpegs - Hard Parts Review

White Brothers
Tri-Pro Footpegs

If you think about how much control you put into your dirt bike through the footpegs and the fact that your feet do a good bit of work shifting and braking, it's amazing we don't pay more attention to footpegs. One of the more interesting designs is on the White Brothers Tri-Pro peg, made of 17/4 grade stainless steel. It has a raised center row of teeth, more so toward the inside of the peg, with each tooth shaped like the head of a Phillips screwdriver. These help with bite and still allow your foot to pivot easily. And since the peg is slightly wider than most stock units, getting pivot out of its planklike size is a good thing. The outer rings of teeth are blade-shaped, not so sharp as to cut but angled in different directions to get some bite. Mounting took minutes, and the fit seemed tighter than that of the worn drooping stockers they replaced, even tilting up a little. Riding the bike, you feel the increased tack the pegs give the bottom of your boot. Extra width is a welcomed improvement and gives a more stable sensation to your feet. But it's still easy to make shifts and hit the brake pedal. We ran the pegs through plenty of rocks, and they resisted damage, aside from the ordinary metal gouging and scratches. Yes, $99.95, may seem like a lot for simple pegs, but if you think about how much they do, it's a small price to pay for something that spends its whole life being stepped on by you. -Jimmy Lewis
