BSD Safari vs Jonesin’: Which Pedal Is Right for You?
BSD have two plastic signature pedals in the line-up: Reed Stark’s Safari pedal and Sam Jones’ Jonesin’ pedal. They’re built on the same core design and cost the same, but they feel different under your feet. Here’s how they compare.
BSD Safari: Reed Stark’s Signature
Reed noticed that the corner pins on plastic pedals were always the first to wear down or snap off in a crash. The Safari pedal is his fix. It runs 20 hex pins a side, with 3 pins on every corner, right where pedals take the most abuse. Add a true dual concave platform and a knurled surface, and you’ve got a pedal built to keep its grip slam after slam.- 20 hex pins per side, 3 on each corner
- True dual concave platform
- Knurled surface for extra grip
- Full profile
- 380g a pair
BSD Jonesin’: Sam Jones’ Signature
The Jonesin’ pedal takes the same core design and slims it down, so your foot sits closer to the axle. It runs 18 hex pins a side on a dual concave, DX-style platform. Each face has a different logo, so you always know which side you’re grinding on.- 18 hex pins per side
- Dual concave, DX-style platform
- Knurled surface for extra grip
- Slim profile, closer to the axle
- Different logo on each face for your grind side
- 400g a pair
