Pennyflake or as non-marketing people call it, brown.
I’ve always felt that super thin pedals are overrated as pedal strikes are nearly always caused by too much sag, too long cranks (why do companies persist in specking 179-175mm cranks?) or rider error.
I feel that no matter how good these pedals are, sales will suffer because people will be snobbish about them being Bontrager and not a ‘cool’ brand. I’ve bought loads of secondhand Bontrager components dirt cheap due to people buying a Trek and immediately swapping out the own brand stuff for ‘better’ parts. Bontrager kit has been pretty good since at least the Big Earl years.
