MKS Aurora Platform Pedals (Purple/Silver)
MKS083-PSI
A wide, grippy flat pedal for riders who want confident foot placement across city streets and light off-road, with a distinctive wave-formed plate that's genuinely lighter than it looks.
Overview
The Aurora is built around a simple idea: a flat pedal doesn't need pins to grip well if the plate itself is shaped right. MKS presses the aluminum alloy plate into a wavy, press-bent form — the design the pedal takes its name from — and that shape, combined with a concave platform and strategically placed protrusions, is what gives it its hold on your shoe.
It's equipped with a 92×95mm aluminum platform, a steel axle, and MKS's standard cup-and-cone bearing system running on 1/8" steel balls — a serviceable setup built for long-term use rather than a sealed cartridge you replace when it wears out. Despite its wide platform, it's the lightest pedal in its size class from MKS, and the dual-sided entry means you're never fumbling to find the right side underfoot.
It suits riders who want a comfortable, secure platform for everyday riding — city commutes, light touring, or off-road sections — without the aggressive pins of a dedicated gravity pedal, and who'd rather have a bearing system they can actually service than one they replace.
Why You'll Like It
Grip without pins
The wave-formed plate shape and concave platform do the gripping work that pins usually handle, so your shoes stay planted without the pedal chewing up your soles or shins.
Genuinely lightweight for its size
At a 92×95mm platform, it's the lightest pedal MKS makes in this size class — a wide platform without the usual weight penalty.
Serviceable cup-and-cone bearings
Built on MKS's standard bearing system with 1/8" steel balls, so a worn bearing is something you can service rather than a reason to replace the whole pedal.
Dual-sided entry
Both sides of the pedal work the same way, so there's no flipping it around to find the right side before you clip in.
Distinctive look
The Purple/Silver colorway's gradient plate finish stands out on the bike without needing graphics or decals to do the work.
Who Is It For?
The Aurora suits riders across Indian cities who want a dependable, comfortable flat pedal for daily commuting and errands — a wide platform that's forgiving of regular shoes, not cycling-specific footwear.
It's also a good fit for light touring and off-road use, where the concave grip and MKS's serviceable bearing system matter more over the miles than a pedal built purely for aggressive terrain.
Good to Know
The cup-and-cone bearing system is designed to be serviced rather than replaced outright, so it's worth learning the basic maintenance if you plan to keep the pedal long-term. With dual-sided entry, you can clip in immediately from either side without checking pedal orientation first.
