Default DK Bear Traps or Burly MX Pegs

Anyone have any insight on how these two sets of pegs compare? Seen a lot of talk about the DK's but how about the burlys?

Looks for a more comfortable set of pegs for long rides but don't think I want to go full floorboard

I am definitely biased. lol

But you will have a much more comfortable ride with the Bear Traps.

"Spin freely or fixed in place, or anywhere in between!"

Until most people experience it, it is difficult to know how much better it is to be able to change the angle of the platform while riding.

OR you could buy motorcycle pegs and ignore this trend with bicycle pedals... Just a thought.

You can buy the bear trap pedals off ebay, kuryakyn peg extensions and then a bolt and washer and make your own. Did it for less than $60.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm wondering if the Burlys are new, don't see anyone talking about them

You can adjust the angle on the Burly MX pegs and then tighten them in place, so they don't spin freely like bicycle pedals. They are also relatively new. We ship out a lot of them, and they're pretty heavy-duty. Burly has a ton of pictures on their Facebook page of the pegs installed. Burly's also have a built-in bottle opener, which is a nice bonus. Both the Burly's and DK Custom's look pretty good, so you can't really go wrong with either.

I have the DK bear traps in black. You can set them to spin or to sit firm, however you like. I left mine spinning free as that way they adjust to the position of your foot better. I love them and am working on a new prototype of pegs with them now as well. The beartraps are great as your feet really stick to them well.
