Crankbrothers release the Fabio Wibmer edition of their Stamp 7 pedal
Crankbrothers gives the trail all-star his own signature version
Fabio Wibmer is an Austrian internet sensation who over the last few years has produced some of the most electrifying riding edits. From intricate trail manoeuvres to acid dropping a downhill bike from a helicopter into the snow, Fabio has done it all.
In appreciation to these mind-blowing feats, Crankbrothers has awarded Fabio with his own signature colorway of their Stamp 7, a pedal that earns the status as one of the best flat pedals currently available.
The Stamp 7 shares the same silhouette as the Stamp 3 pedal we reviewed last year, but it has extra refinement and a reduction in weight thanks to higher-grade components and some additional machining. Fabio’s signature design sees the addition of gold pins and slick forward leading white markings – it’s an aesthetic we’re fully into!
As with the entire Stamp range, Crankbrothers offers the Stamp 7 in two different platform sizes – small (100 x 100mm) and large (114 x 111mm) – with recommended shoe sizes for each platform size. The small is aimed at riders with EU 37-43 shoes while the large caters EU 43-49.
The Stamp also comes standard with a five-year warranty and while we’ve experienced great longevity in the past, if you do manage to wear out the bearings and/or seals, Crankbrothers has you covered with various different service kits.
The Fabio edition pedal will cost $179.99 / £179.99 and Crankbrothers state it should be hitting the shelves in Spring 2023. Even more information can be found at www.crankbrothers.com.
