Multiple Testimonials

Trail Bike Magazine tested Pivot Pegz, printing a fantastic report in the May 2005 issue. The following text is taken from their report and we would like to thank TBM for allowing us to use this on our site.

"Radical redesigns like this only come along every once in a while, and these are one of the best improvements to a stock bike I've tried."

"...fitted onto our KTM using the new split-pins with no unnecessary fiddling .......-the whole job taking little more that ten minutes."

For sure the claims about making it easier to operate the rear brake and gear-lever are all true

"I was a bit anxious that they might feel a bit weird-...but needn't have worried"

"For sure the claims about making it easier to operate the rear brake and gear-lever are all true"

"But the biggest advantage I noticed with the Pivot Pegz was that during cornering I was able to get my inside boot securely back onto the peg that much quicker because as your boot presses back onto the peg the peg tips forward until it's flat against the sole of your boot. Meantime while your inside leg is stretched out in the corner, the pivoting outer peg lets the bike ride over bumps without you losing solid contact with a critical part of the bike. Excellent"

Now some real good news - As I was coming home from you I noticed the lack of vibration felt from Pivot Pegz. I usually use rubbers on the standard pegs to take out vibration. To perform a 'test', I stopped & took the rubber off the standard peg & rode the rest of the way home. Right leg OK (pivot pegz) left leg doing the ‘can can’ on its own (standard peg, no rubber).Pivot Pegz vastly reduce the transference of engine vibration that a normal solid peg passes.
Pivot Pegz really are as good rubber isolation, which of course does not work off road! Best of both worlds as I see it!

These pegs really let me stay with the bike on the steep uphills and really allow me to push my heels down for ultimate traction!

Have any of you SUPERMOTO JUNKIE readers tried PIVOT PEGZ???
If not, DO IT. We recently did some testing and used PIVOT PEGZ on our SM bikes and you will not believe the amazing control and ease of use you will gain. I never thought that they would provide that big of an advantage, BUT HOLY $*** DO THEY.No more grinding toes off your boots trying to get your foot under the shifter during mid corner. Tons more control over the bike in mid air of a jump. It's as if it acts as a entirely different bike. They come with replaceable bodies, in the event you like to grind them on the asphalt. But good luck doing that, these things are built. The list of benefits goes on. You'll see once you try them.
My only complaint is that I wish I had these last year.
Don't take my word for it, GO GET SOME.
One of the riders on my team had to have his ankle fused in a surgical proceedure because of an accident roadracing. He would always complain that his foot and ankle hurt after putting in 10-20 hard laps. After using PIVOT PEGZ he rode like he never had the fusion on his ankle, he never complained. He even said that it didn't even cause any pain. He was actually much faster because he didn't have the distraction of the pain during his riding.
I don't normally post much about products, mainly read what others have to say about things. But I couldn't pass up this opportunity to tell everyone about these awsome pegz.

I tried a new pair of Pivot Pegz - absolutely superb especially with my bad knees, they took away any jarring, excellent product.

To whom it may concern, I am a junior instructor at the academy of offroad riding. I rode my practice bike (YZ 85) with the Pivot Pegz and 'I'm STOKED', it was so much easier to pivot my foot to use the back brake and also the gear lever.

After riding over some bumps I found the bike was easy to move around on with the pegs. The pivot pegs are fitted to my practice bike which is the bike I use to do the demo's for the Academy of Off Road Riding and I would like to get a set for my race bike as I think they would be awesome for motocross. Thanks Brad McCann.#555

There's plenty of aftermarket footpegs available these days which vary in shape, sharpness and construction but one brand of footpeg that offers something totally different is Pivot Pegz. As the name suggests, Pivot Pegz actually pivot back and forth, making it easier to reach the gear lever and the rear brake pedal. But the benefits of using footpegs that pivot don't end there.

Dirt Action Magazine

'Pivot Pegz are unreal.' 'Pivot Pegz were fitted halfway through the season and are a great asset. The difference between the stock pegs and Pivot Pegz is very noticeable. We found that Pivot Pegz gave better body movement and great foot grip. They help with body positioning enabling you to transfer body weight more easily, which in return, provides better traction. Plus they look awesome!'

Why is it so many great inventions seem like such an obvious idea you are left wondering why they haven't been thought of before? The new Australian-designed and made Pivot Pegz are the latest example of this. When you ride an off-road motorcycle (properly) your body can move from leaning against the handlebars to hanging off the back of the seat. Pivot Pegz allow constant contact with your boots to the pegs allowing easier rear brake/gear function and a comfortable, stable contact to the bike. They even extend the life of your boots. Miles (chief test rider) is really enthusiastic about Pivot Pegz. "Pivot Pegz are seriously trick," said our resident member of the dirt bike in-crowd. "The way they move forward and backward depending on how your feet are positioned makes it easier to brake, change gear and ride. I love them. They aren't going back."

Every now and then you come across a product that makes you sit up and say, why didn't someone think of this earlier, these things are the duck guts !! We put Pivot Pegz to the test on our 2001 Yamaha WR426 Project bikes and OH Boy !. These things make you feel so sure footed I reckon we could have given Spiderman a run for his money. Not only do they allow the bike to move underfoot without compromising the amount of boot that meets the peg over stutters, whoops and any other obstacles you wish to traverse. You also get a very pleasant surprise when you start on the tight and windy stuff. You and your bike feel much more in synch as the pegs rock forward on one side and back on the other.

G'day to the crew at Pivot Pegz. Now I know that things are full tilt down there at the peg factory, but this is a no BS letter so take the time to read it. Have I got your attention yet? Thought so. Over many years of racing I have trashed, replaced and repaired many bikes, and, the parts that make them one machine. I can honestly say to any person that your Pivot Pegz are one of the best designed and built, add on products that I have ever used. A definite mechanical and physical advantage is what your product delivers. Thank you very much for the opportunity to use and promote your great product.

Your Sincerely,
Matt Woodhouse.

Dear Sir, "I bought your pegs thinking that if they save me a set of boots a year they would have payed for themselves twice over. But once I used the Pivot Pegz I quickly realised that saving my boots is only one of the many things that make your product great. It's hard to sum it up but it's like a 'suspension extension'. My bike just feels heaps more comfortable and compliant and as a result I can ride faster."

A big thank you for the delivery of my pegs. I can't believe the difference that these little beauties have made. Anything else that I could add to what has already been said would be superfluous! Quite simply, the BIGGEST confidence inspiring bolt-on I've ever added to one of my bikes. Again, thanks for such a wonderfully made and engineered product.

Pivot Pegz are probably the most important off road innovation in the last 5 years. And how obvious is it, they make so much sense. So much control of a dirtbike comes from your feet. With Pivot Pegz you not only get better grip and feel of the bike, but you also have much more control over your gears and rear brake. All of that translates into confidence and control. It only takes you one ride to get use to the Pivot Peg action, after that you realise that normal pegs just don't perform the same way. Weather you're out in the bush or hammering around a moto track the extra feel and control that Pivot Pegz offer the rider is second to none. Now that I have first hand experience of how well they work, a pair of Pivot Pegz will always get fitted to my off road machines.

To whom it may concern
I have been using Pivot Pegz on my '01 WR250F for 10 months now and they are the best thing I've bought for my bike. The better grip and load distribution on the bike is totally unbeatable! Also, since purchasing these pegs my riding has improved. I would recommend Pivot pegz to anyone whether they are just a casual rider or at a competitive level.

Re: Pivot Pegz Boot Wear Test

To whom it may concern,

I have been racing with your Pivot Pegz for over 12 months now and I have to say that I am blown away by the results. These things work!
I originally started racing with them on my '01 KTM 400 SX and have recently transferred them to my new '02 KTM 400 EXC. I spend a lot of time on the bike and these things perform like no other peg. And best of all your pegs have saved me money.

Let me explain. I chewed through four sets of inner soles on my boots in a six month period while using standard pegs. Each time it cost me $60 to fix, that's $240 in six months. Since fitting the Pivot pegz I have never replaced an inner sole. Even after 12 months of hard riding on the Pivot Pegz the inner soles are hardly worn. Using Pivot Pegz has actually saved me $480 in inner soles. Don't get me wrong, I use Pivot Pegz for the competitive advantage not to save my boots, but boots are expensive and this is an expensive sport, so it's great to get a product that delivers a real performance gain, and, saves me money every time I ride.
Your Pivot Pegz are 'it'.

Your Sincerely,
Travis Eustace

To the crew at Pivot Pegz,

I would like to congratulate your R&D department for coming up with such a great and original type of foot peg.

My 10-year-old boy, Tom has been using the same set since early ‘2001, on four different KTM’s, (One 50cc and three 65cc). On one occasion when I overhauled the Pivot Pegz and fitted the standard ones back on he did not stop complaining about them, such comments as “ When are you putting my Pivot Pegz back on I hate the old standard one's” and “My ankles hurt without the Pivot Pegz”.

Unfortunately our boot repairer doesn't like the Pivot Pegz as we haven't had to replace one sole on the motocross boots since using Pivot Pegz, the only time we buy new boots is when Tom grows out of the old ones.

Tom has won three state championships with the Pivot Pegz and certainly will never ride without them again, they have become as important to him as his bike, and in fact his bike is not a motocross ride without the Pivot Pegz. I can’t believe there are people out there that ride without them. I'm sure just one ride with them and they would be sold for life.
Thanks a lot for your great invention and rest assured everyone we know in Junior Motocross knows how much we think of Pivot Pegz.

Dear Allen
“I think that the Pivot Pegz are cool they don’t hurt my angles like normal pegs do. It is easy to do the jumps with them, going over big bumps is easy too.

Tom

Yours Faithfully,
Steve Rastinger.
