By now you all should know about Pivot Pegz. Alan at Technical Edge in Tasmania has been making these 'active' pegs since late 2000. Riders across the world and across every discipline of dirtbike riding use them. MX, Motard, Dakar, Trials, Enduro, SX, GNCC and of course trail riders have all discovered the merit of them

I bought Mark 1 Pivot Pegz a few years back, but sold them with a previous bike. I liked them for all the reasons the rotating pegs offer a rider: easier to shift gears - boots always gripping the pegs on any angle hill - better brake feel - makes moving around on the bike more effortless.
But the biggest thing that got me ordering a set of their new Mark 2 Pegz was boot wear. After destroying a set of soles in under twelve months with stock pegs, I realized Pivot Pegz give you all the positives noted above, but also give you value for money. Especially when you factor in the price of a set of boots! Check out the pic below of my old boot. It was starting to let water in from me rocking back and forth to change gear on a stock peg.

Top Quality Engineering!

The Pegz in Action!

Boot wear from standard pegz!
Like all good products, Pivot Pegz have been copied by an overseas company that produce a cheap springless (non-self centering) copy. My advice is don't waste your hard earned cash on them as you will be disappointed. One look at a set of the highly engineered & polished Pivot Pegz compared to the overseas imitation will make you realize what is value for money!
Mark 2 Pivot Pegz are awesome looking pieces of bling. They retail for $220.00AUD, almost $100 cheaper than when they first appeared on the market in late 2000. The list of models available is also impressive. Don't take my word for how good they are, just click on www.pivotpegz.net and check out some of the big names in motorsport that have left a testimonial about the product!
