aren’t Chester’s like a third of the price of the other two?
If I have to pay for it, I probably choose the Chester. They work fine and once they get beat up or in the unlikely event, they stopped working, you can get a new pair

The stamps are good but need to be maintained more frequently. Consider looking at deity and one-up pedals too.

I dig OneUp.. but you should consider the PNW composite. Cheap, solid, come in every color imaginable.

Love my atlas pedals…. Even after they gave me stitches. The pins are no joke.

None. Go get a set of Anvl’s tilt pedals

Atlas.
For what it’s worth race face customer service has always taken care of me, and they have a lifetime warranty – so there that.

Used to run One Ups religiously on my bikes, have now switched to Atlas. Nicer quality, better bearings, thinner pins that dig into everything better.

Atlas are the clear winner, but they’re like 4x the cost of the Chesters. Crank Bros. brings up the rear.

If you want fancy and flashy, the Atlas are hard to beat. But the Chester’s are just as functional, feel great and are 1/4 of the price. For me it would depend on the bike. Flashy carbon flagship models with top end components, I’d get the Atlas. Anything else, I’d go Chester.

Stamps. Have them on the city cruiser, and they’ve taken plenty of abuse and weather without flinching. Also recommend the Kona Wah-Wah

Have both the Atlas and Stamp 7’s on different bikes. Atlas is way grippier but also a bit more difficult to reposition your foot on. Also hurts more if you hit your shin 😂
Personally, I like them both and would probably go for the Stamp 7 on a general trail bike, and the Atlas on a longer travel Enduro bike.

I liked the Chester’s most for a composite.
I resisted dropping the coin on some nice pedals for a while, didn’t think it was worth it myself. However I was wrong, the diety supervillain pedals can be found for 150-170 on sale. WELL worth the money spent, but Chester’s will definitely get you by for however long you need (forever?)

I have the atlas and I love them. I was also thinking about the stamps 7s too but the atlas was on sale at the time.

Atlas 100%. Any top extracting pin like the Crank Bros will be a pain to replace after the pin is damaged or worn out. I’ve had plastic pedals break before, so that’s a no-go for me. My go to pedals are Spank Spikes and Oozys.

I would only get the chesters if budget is your only priority. I’ve had a couple pairs on various bikes over the years and I found them to be seriously lacking in grip. I didn’t keep them on either time to judge longevity but they seem to get chewed up quickly.
My all time favorite pedals are Tmacs, followed by DMR vaults. Of the ones you listed, I’d go with the Atlas.

I’m going to get hate for this, but honestly it depends on what I’m color matching lol

None of the above. Kona wah wah best pedals.

Crankbrothers also has a composite stamp of you like those

Love my Stamp 7s but I got a steal on some. RaceFace Chesters are definitely solid.

Chesters are solid but I wish the pedal was bigger for my bigass feet. Having said that I have 2 pairs on 2 bikes and they’ve been good. Recently put oneup Composites on another and the bigger platform is really nice and the price is similar at least where I am.

I would get the nylon Chesters for the lower price and full-length axle.

Stamps are premium as fuck until you can’t swap pins cuz the allen is on the wrong side
