United Distributing’s Leg Pegs


"Every once in a while something comes along that revolutionizes dirt-biking once again. I honestly believe Leg Pegs are one of those things. I ride faster, safer, and in more control than ever before. And best of all, they really help eliminate arm pump and hand-cramping."
                                                         –Steve HengeveldLeg Peg

That's a pretty strong endorsement from the 10-time Baja Champion... Hengeveld is referring to United Distributing's new Leg Pegs, which are small paddle-like pegs that bolt on to your dirt bike, and give your lower legs a platform to rest against when you're in a standing, out-of-the-saddle stance. Your calves can rest against the Leg Pegs, keeping you from sliding backward. In rough terrain, whoops and fast conditions, where it's hard to keep from squeezing the life out of the grips, the Leg Pegs let you use the stronger leg muscles to hold on, and relax your upper body.

 

When you can control your bike with your legs, it takes some of the strain off your arms, which is why Hengeveld says that the Leg Pegs eliminate arm pump and hand cramping. If you ride in long whoop sections, severe downhills and hacky straights where you need to stand on the footrests for long periods of time, the Leg Pegs can make a difference.
