Who it's for
Good fit
- Trail and enduro riders up to about 80 kg who want more hold than flats
- Riders moving from flats who don't want to learn clipless exits
- Riders who want to release in any direction, including those with knee concerns
- Bikes that are sometimes ridden in normal shoes
Look elsewhere if
- Heavier riders or very rough riding (choose the 200N version)
- Racers who need a full mechanical lock and pull-up
- Riders without 2-bolt SPD-compatible shoes
Compatibility
- Shoes
- 2-bolt SPD-compatible; Magped recommends flat soles with fine to medium tread
- Shoe plates
- Magped steel plates, bolted into the cleat slots with 2 screws
- Crank thread
- 9/16" x 20 TPI
- Without plates
- Works as a pinned flat pedal with normal shoes
- Not compatible
- 3-bolt road shoes (Look Keo, Shimano SPD-SL)
Pros and cons
Pros
- Releases in any direction; there's no binding to twist out of
- Large pinned platform for a magnetic pedal
- Pins can be set at two lengths
- 150N magnet is easier to leave than the 200N
- Still grips normal shoes when you're not wearing plates
Cons
- No firm mechanical lock, as Magped itself states
- Heavier than most clipless pedals
- Magnet attracts ferrous grit and mud reduces hold
- 150N may feel light for heavier or more aggressive riders
What the Magped Enduro 2 is
The Magped Enduro 2 (written ENDURO2 by Magped) is a magnetic trail pedal. A magnet in the middle of the platform pulls on a steel plate that bolts to your shoe where an SPD cleat would go. You don’t clip in: you put your foot down, the magnet pulls the plate onto the pedal, and you leave by twisting or lifting with more force than the magnet holds.
Magped machines the body from one block of aluminium and lists the platform at 108 x 100 mm and 16 mm tall. The spindle is described as reinforced for higher loads. The pins are Magped’s SWITCH design and can be set at two lengths, 9 mm or 11 mm. This page covers the black 150N version, which Magped lists at 447 g per pair without pins.
150N vs 200N: which Enduro 2?
The two Enduro 2 versions differ in magnet strength and weight.
| Enduro2 150N | Enduro2 200N | |
|---|---|---|
| Magped rider-weight guidance | Up to 80 kg | Over 75 kg |
| Listed weight (pair, no pins) | 447 g | 477 g |
| Feel | Easier release | Stronger hold |
The newton rating is the pull-off force: 150N is roughly what it takes to lift a 15 kg weight. Magped notes that real-world hold depends on magnet size, dirt, wear and the direction of force. A straight pull meets the full rating, while a twist or roll takes less.
Choose the 150N if you weigh under about 75 kg, ride flowing trails, or want the easiest exit. Between 75 and 80 kg, rough, fast riders lean toward 200N.
Setup and fit notes
- Fit the pedals. Use a 9/16” crank, grease the threads, and remember the left pedal is reverse threaded (which pedal is reverse threaded).
- Mount the plates. Bolt the steel plates into your shoe’s 2-bolt cleat slots, under the ball of the foot, as you would an SPD cleat. Tighten the screws firmly and check them after the first ride.
- Check the sole. The plate needs to reach the magnet. Very deep lugs around the cleat area can hold it off, which is why Magped recommends flat soles with fine to medium tread.
- Choose pin length. Start with the shorter setting. Move to the longer pins if your foot shifts on rough ground. See pedal pins for spares.
- Practice exits. On grass, practice leaving the pedal by twisting and by lifting until you know how much force it takes.
How it compares
Enduro 2 vs Sport2. The Sport2 is Magped’s all-purpose pedal, listed at 104 x 92 mm with 6 pins per side. It is available with 100N, 150N or 200N magnets. It suits commuting, e-bikes and lighter trail riding. The Enduro 2 is the bigger, trail-focused platform.
Enduro 2 vs Ultra2. The Ultra2 uses a magnesium body and titanium spindle to save weight for XC and gravel. The Enduro 2 is the sturdier choice for descending.
Enduro 2 vs clipless platform pedals. A pedal like the Crankbrothers Mallet DH locks the cleat mechanically, giving full pull-up and no surprise releases. The trade-off is a fixed exit motion. If that motion is what holds you back, the Enduro 2 is the gentler step. Our magnetic pedals guide compares the whole approach with flats and clipless.
Care and wear
Wipe the magnet and plate after muddy rides. Magnets pick up ferrous grit, and a layer of dirt between plate and magnet reduces the hold. Inspect the plates for wear and the plate screws for tightness. Replace bent or missing pins to keep grip consistent.

Magped Enduro2 150N: FAQ
Should I get the Magped Enduro 2 in 150N or 200N?
Go by body weight and terrain. Magped recommends the 150N for riders up to 80 kg and the 200N for riders over 75 kg. In the overlap, pick 200N for rough, fast trails and 150N if easy release matters more.
What shoes work with the Magped Enduro 2?
Shoes with 2-bolt SPD-style cleat holes, so the steel plate can be bolted on. Magped recommends flat-soled SPD shoes with a fine to medium tread so the plate can sit against the magnet.
How much does the Magped Enduro 2 weigh?
Magped lists the 150N version at 447 g per pair and the 200N at 477 g per pair, both without pins.
Can I ride the Magped Enduro 2 with normal shoes?
Yes. Without a steel plate there's no magnetic hold, but the pinned platform works as a flat pedal.
