The V4 is DMR's flat pedal for smaller feet. At 80 x 80mm the platform is sized for kids and adults with smaller shoes, so there is proper support underfoot rather than a full-size pedal that a young rider only ever stands on half of. Raised pins and moulded blocks do the gripping, and at 247g there is no real weight penalty on a first proper mountain bike.

The body is tough, light nylon with a rubber seal, running a boron steel axle on dual bush bearings, so it copes with being ridden hard and left out in the weather. Integrated reflectors are built in rather than bolted on. The clever part is the PU end cap bumper: drop the bike on its side and the bumper takes the hit instead of the pins, which protects the pedal and whatever it lands against. Bumpers are available separately as spares. Alongside the solid colours there is a clear polycarbonate body option.

Worth noting the 60kg rider weight limit - the V4 is built for lighter riders, so anyone heavier is better off on a V6 or V8.
