BDCW - Footpegs - Traction v2 (BMW R1200GSA-OC)

NEW and IMPROVED Version 2 Design shifts the pegs back 1/2" inch to allow more room to the controls and retain the 1/2" lower position as well compared to our previous version.

A Black Dog Cycle Works (BDCW) exclusive design

The new Black Dog Cycle Works TRACTION Footpegs are designed to answer the call for riders who prefer to tackle difficult terrain in all conditions. Sharp teeth greatly enhance traction in wet and muddy conditions while minimizing wear and tear on riding boots while standing. For enhanced traction, threaded spikes are supplied to provide the ULTIMATE in wet weather traction.

  FITMENT  

BDCW’s Traction Footpegs are available for these bikes:

• BMW R1200GSA-OC (2006–2013)

WHY THE EXPERTS LOVE THEM (and Everyone Else Needs Them)—

We’ve long been fans of oversized footpegs. The additional control they give your bike, and the increased comfort while standing, make their design a no-brainer for any serious rider.

  DESIGN NOTES  

Measuring a massive 2.5-inches wide by 4.5-inches long, our Traction-Style Adventure Footpegs provide an extremely stable base from which to control your bike— even over the gnarliest terrains. Their rugged design is cut from aircraft-grade aluminum, and like cat claws on a carpet, precision cut traction cleats provide a grip that’ll hold you on the pegs. They’re extremely lightweight, too, at only 8 oz. each.

We've opened up the void areas to allow mud, snow and debris to flow through; changed the teeth from flat to a pointed style; and most importantly, used a thread in "traction spike" to ensure maximum grip on the pegs in wet conditions. Another innovative feature is that the threaded spikes are removable to reduce wear on the soles of your boot when not in wet conditions and be replaceable!

To make assembly a breeze, an ingenious installation pin is included with each set of footpegs. If you’ve ever fought the return spring while installing footpegs, you’ll know why this tool is worth its weight in GOLD!

And just for fun, a handy BOTTLE OPENER is built into each peg for convenient access to your favorite cold beverage after a long day’s ride.

  NUTS, BOLTS AND BENEFITS  

Enlarged Size
These pegs are 2.5-inches wide x 4.5--inches long and weigh 8 oz each. They greatly improves control of bike—it's like adding power steering!

More Legroom
As with our Platform Footpegs, these are 1/2 inch lower than stock (compared to the stock GS pegs, our pegs are slightly lower than the stock GSA pegs). It may not sounds like much but feedback confirms it is noticeable!

More Room to the Controls
Our new Version 2 are moved back 1/2 inch to allow more room to the brake and shift levers!

Improved Ergonomics
Our new Version 2 design shifts the platform of the peg back 1/2" from our original design, giving more room for your boots to operate the shifter and brake lever

Greater Comfort
Standing up is so much less fatiguing with the large platform distributing your weight. Enjoy the rider longer!

More Open Design
By creating larger voids in the peg platform, this new design allows mud, snow and debris to flow through the pegs to keep the treads cleaner. We've also enlarged the bottom of the openings to aid in clearing the pegs.

Superior Material and Design
These pegs are milled out of ONE PIECE of tough aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. We've added TRACTION cleats around perimeter of the peg and removable threaded spikes for the ULTIMATE in traction and control. These pegs aren't bolted together like some of the weaker designs out there.

More Traction, Less Boot Wear
The threaded spikes are removable (and replaceable) to reduce boot wear for riding in less demanding conditions.

Easy Installation
We are the only company we know of that provide an special “installation pin” which greatly simplifies installation. We also provide replacement cotter pins—no trips to the hardware store required. 5 minute install time.

Looks "Badass" on Every Bike
In addition to its superior appearance, there is a Built-in bottle opener on the bottom of each peg. Handy when popping your favorite beverage at the end of the trail or around the campfire.

No bones about it, we manufacture all of our Black Dog products right here in the U.S.A. - supporting the local craftsmen, materials and machinery. We have world class manufacturers in our own back yard and we are committed to supporting our local economy which is extremely important to us. We feel supporting the U.S. manufacturing base has never been more important.

Tested and Trusted Worldwide
All of our own products are rigorously tested on our personal bikes BEFORE they’re released. Our innovative and rugged designs are used throughout the world—a fact that we’re very proud of. We make no pretense that we’re the cheapest, but, you can be sure that BDCW products are the best made, and that we stand behind them.

From MOTORCYCLIST magazine:

“Finally floorboards for adventure bikes! Not really but that was my first thought after installing the BDCW Adventure Footpegs on our BMW F800GS test bike.  These things are HUGE, but wow, do they work awesome. The edges are cleated with a medieval castle pattern that gives great grip in the mud, and after two months of use they have not left any excessive wear marks on the soles of my boots. And, for those that like multi- functional equipment, each footpeg even has a bottle opener milled into the bottom. How’s that for bragging rights around the campfire?! No question, these babies are two thumbs up!!—BT

From ADVMoto magazine:

"Black Dog Cycle Works’ KTM footpegs are a winner. I knew just after purchasing my KTM 990R that I was going to have to replace the footpegs because they were too darn small. The light and tough BDCW footpegs are made of aircraft aluminum and installation was a snap. Within ten minutes, the Black Dog footpegs were mounted and ready for testing using nothing more than a pair of pliers,

"The foot print measures 2.5-inches wide x 4.5-inches long which I found to be ample real estate for my size 13 boots and a large improvement over the stock footpegs. Cuing the bike by applying pressure to these beauties really enhanced handling on single track, high speed sand whoops and on extended highway jaunts. The large surface area covered with traction cleats offers a secure feeling while standing, especially in technical sections. Traction was excellent against my smooth sole adventure boots. 

"While hanging out after a full day of riding, almost everyone commented on how these new units look–nothing like a little understated bling on an adventure bike. The built in bottle opener located on the bottom side of the footpegs made for a nice conversation piece and came in handy for few riders opening their favorite bottled beverages before discussing the day’s ride.

"If you have a KTM adventure bike and can’t quite get comfortable on the machine because the stock footpegs are too small then consider the Black Dog Cycle Works offering."

 From the Dog Pound (satisfied Black Dog riders)

“With every day being a 500+ mile off road day, Dakar training and riding takes its toll on you and your body. Having Black Dog Cycle Works develop foot pegs for our Honda race bike is a godsend. The stock pegs hurt after a few hours, and affect your riding after days on the pegs. These BDCW pegs let me stand for the entire day, day after day. They’re huge, and indestructible, but more importantly, they’re no heavier than the stock pegs. Thanks Guys!”—Kevin Muggleton  Dakar Racer, owner of Redverz Gear

“These are fabulous footpegs. The incremental size increase and the grip of the peg makes for a very comfortable and responsive addition. And made in the U.S.A. Looks great on a German bike. Tough!!”—HD Steve (ADV Rider blog)

“Your footpegs are awesome. Your pics on the website don’t do them justice. Attached a pic that should be included.”—Evan Hill

“I just installed your footpegs. You are awesome. WOW, really nice pegs. Great satisfaction, my bike has most of your accessories.” —Jose “Pepe” Trueba

“The new pegs work well with my short legs—allows me to gain better position while standing up, and a big plus was the right foot is able to move out on the peg from the exhaust just enough to get some much needed air that area. Keep up the good work.”—Scott Moulden

“Just installed my BDCW footpegs. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but these pegs are Really Great! Better than I imagined! Easy install on my F800GS (10 minutes with distractions, like—trying out the bottle opener).”—Fractalsource (ADV Rider blog)

“Had your pegs on my 690 for a few months and about 7,000km of Adv riding. Nathan at Revsport Inc added them to my order last year.  Wish I had got them in 2012. They allowed me to stand for 5 straight days of 500km each day over some aggressive Adv sections to complete the rally. I'm 57 and my feet used to ache but not now with your platform pegs :)) Keep sending those great articles too. I will get to USA to ride!”—Tim Ritchie, Tasmania Australia

“I’m very impressed by both the design and finish of these pegs and am looking forward to standing on them. I’ve got X's peg extensions on my SE and Duke. Nice kit, no doubt, but this is the next step.”—Bob Stallard, CA

“Got ‘em yesterday and threw them on. Rode it to work this morning on the dirt roads in the rain. They are NICE. Lots of grip, and no more fumbling around to find the peg with my arch while catching the brake at the same time. The added surface area gives you more options for foot placement too. I don’t notice much difference while standing, but they do feel better on the knees. Hopefully, I’ll get a long day ride in before it gets too cold. Great product-worth the wait.”—David Lena, VT
