Cube ACID Flat A4-IB Hybrid Pedals – Premium Alloy, Everyday Performance
Not every pedal needs to be built for bike parks and enduro descents. For riders who spend their time on trekking bikes, hybrids, commuters, or e-bikes, the right pedal is one that’s grippy, durable, low-maintenance, and road-legal. The Cube ACID Flat A4-IB Hybrid pedal ticks every one of those boxes — and at just 290g per pair, it does it without adding unnecessary weight to your setup.
Designed under Cube’s premium ACID accessories brand, the A4-IB Hybrid brings genuinely high-quality construction to a part of the market often dominated by heavy, cheap plastic alternatives.
CNC Machined Aluminium Body
Where budget trekking and hybrid pedals typically use plastic or nylon bodies, the A4-IB Hybrid steps things up with a fully CNC machined aluminium body. This gives it a noticeably more premium look and feel compared to entry-level options, and means it’s significantly more resistant to the kind of knocks, scrapes, and impacts that everyday riding inevitably brings. The chrome-moly (CrMo) axle is equally robust — strong, stiff, and built to last through years of regular use.
Large Platform, Ultra Low Profile
Despite its compact dimensions of 100 x 90mm, the A4-IB Hybrid offers a genuinely large contact surface that gives your foot a stable, confident platform whether you’re in trainers, flat shoes, or casual cycling footwear. At just 18mm tall, the ultra low-profile design keeps your foot close to the axle for a natural, efficient pedalling position — something that matters on longer trekking rides or daily commutes where comfort over distance is a priority.
Integrated Anti-Slip Pins
Rather than removable or adjustable pins, the A4-IB Hybrid uses integrated anti-slip pins machined directly into the platform. These provide reliable grip across the whole surface without the maintenance overhead of replaceable pin systems — ideal for riders who want their pedals to just work, day in and day out, without fiddling.
Built-In Reflectors — Road Legal and Practical
One feature that sets the A4-IB Hybrid apart from MTB-focused flat pedals is its integrated reflectors. These aren’t an afterthought — they’re built cleanly into the pedal body, giving your bike improved visibility from the side when riding in low light, and satisfying the legal requirement for pedal reflectors on road-going bikes in the UK. It’s a detail that makes the A4-IB Hybrid a particularly sensible choice for commuters, leisure riders, and anyone using their bike on public roads after dark.
Sealed Cartridge Bearings
Like all ACID pedals, the A4-IB Hybrid runs on sealed cartridge bearings that keep mud, water, and road grime out of the mechanism. Combined with the aluminium body’s natural resistance to corrosion, this makes for a very low-maintenance pedal that will stay spinning smoothly through wet UK winters without constant attention.
Who Is This For?
The ACID Flat A4-IB Hybrid is the ideal pedal upgrade for trekking bikes, city bikes, hybrids, and e-bikes — particularly where the stock pedals have worn out or where a rider is stepping up from a budget bike and wants to improve the quality of their components. It also works beautifully as an OEM-level upgrade for Cube bikes, given it’s designed to complement the brand’s own lineup.
