Spank Pedals: Spoon, Spike and Oozy Explained

Updated · DrPedal is independent and not affiliated with Spank Industries

Which to pick

Spank pedals are concave alloy flat pedals from Spank Industries, the mountain bike brand known for Vibrocore handlebars and rims. For most trail riders, the mid-range Spoon is the place to start: the Spoon 100 fits US men's shoe sizes 7–10, the Spoon 90 smaller feet and the Spoon 110 bigger ones. Riders who want Spank's higher-end pedals should look at the Oozy and Spike families.

Gravity pick

Spank Spike Reboot

by Spank Industries

Best for: Enduro and downhill riders

Spank's top flat pedal family, aimed at gravity riding where a thin, grippy platform matters most.

Who is Spank Industries?

Spank Industries is a mountain bike components brand known for Vibrocore handlebars, which use a foam core to damp vibration, plus rims, wheels and flat pedals. Its parts lean toward trail, enduro and downhill riding.

The pedal range is built around concave flat platforms with replaceable pins, in three families: Spoon, Oozy and Spike.

The Spank pedal lineup explained

  • Spoon: the mid-range alloy flat, sold in three sizes. The name describes the concave, dished platform that cradles your shoe. The Spoon 100 is the middle size.
  • Oozy: a step up for trail riders who want more refinement.
  • Spike (Reboot): Spank’s gravity-focused flat for enduro and downhill.

Model names and finishes change between seasons, so check that the listing you buy is the current version.

Which Spank pedal should you buy?

  1. Most trail riders and commuters: a Spoon, sized to your shoe. It gives you real concave grip without paying for a premium pedal.
  2. Riders upgrading from stock plastic pedals: also the Spoon. A pinned concave platform is a big step up in grip.
  3. Enduro and downhill: look at the Spike Reboot.

Spoon sizing

Model Spank’s shoe-size guide
Spoon 90 US men’s 6 and under
Spoon 100 US men’s 7–10 (EU 39–44)
Spoon 110 US men’s 11 and up

A pedal that’s too small lets the edges press into the sole; too big adds width you don’t use. Fit with grease on the threads, and keep spare pedal pins for when one bends.

How Spank pedals compare

The Spoon sits among mid-range flats from DMR, OneUp and Crankbrothers. DMR’s V11 and V8 are budget alternatives; Crankbrothers’ Stamp pedals come in two sizes, like the Stamp 2 Small.

Premium rivals to the Spike include Burgtec, Hope and the Wolf Tooth Waveform. Spank’s edge is its concave shaping. Compare every option in our flat pedals guide.

Spank Industries: FAQ

What does the 100 mean in Spank Spoon 100?

It is the middle size of the Spoon family. Spank recommends the Spoon 90 for US men's 6 and under, the 100 for 7–10 and the 110 for 11 and up.

Are Spank Spoon pedals good for beginners?

Yes. A concave pinned platform holds a flat shoe well, and you can step off instantly, which suits riders learning technical trails.

What thread are Spank pedals?

The Spoon uses the standard 9/16" crank thread, so it won't fit one-piece cranks that need 1/2". The left pedal is reverse threaded.
