Super Tenere 1200: Pivot Pegz MK 3 vs OEM Pegs

 I bought Pivot Pegz for 4 reasons: 1) their unique swivel function, 2) larger surface area & reduced mud packing, 3) lowering capability, 4) stronger. 

1) A ride review will have to wait until the bike is insured

2) They are wider by 15 mm or 0.6" & the same length....would have preferred another 13 

     mm or 0.5" of length for my E width size 12 foot

3) Pivot Pegz advertises that they can be lowered, however, only quotes generically that 

     they can be lowered up to 12 mm or 0.47" by interchanging the left & right mount 

     assembly or by moving the spacer from the underside to the topside of the mount. The 

     S10 mount is offset by just 3 mm or 0.12" on one side with no additional spacer, SO 

     that is the extent of lowering capability!  IF MORE LOWERING CAPABILITY IS DESIRED, 

     BE FOREWARNED!  When mounted in std position they are 1 mm or 0.04" higher than 

     the oem measured to the top of the metal cleats or 2 mm or 0.08" lower & 1 mm or 

     0.04" back when in the lower position.  However, the oem rubber insert adds 8 mm or 

     0.3" height when not compressed netting a maximum of 10 mm or 0.4" difference 

     while seated (rubber insert not compressed), but for most riders will compress to the 

     metal cleat while standing.

4) based on construction alone they ought to be much stronger and feel at least 2x as 

     heavy

They certainly feel different the 1st time mounting the bike because of the movement, but allow easier manipulation of shifter & brake levers, the wider platform feels more secure & distributes your weight more evenly, although it would benefit from being about 13 mm or 1/2" longer. My left heel now touches the side stand with rear rotation, but suspect that occurred under certain conditions before but was just unaware...easily fixed with a longer rubber stop pad. The advertised benefit of the design is to allow movement of the foot without having to lift off the peg & be less fatiguing for the rider featuring a spring loaded, self centering action...some like it, others do not...some have locked out the rear rotation,  leaving just the front rotation...will have to wait for bike to be insured to see if we get along.

April 27 update 1st ride report street only: The rotation of the pegs aids comfort, braking & shifting, although mounting the bike takes getting used to because of the rotation.  Will update when I have some off-road feedback.

Oct 2019:  only shortcoming is they are not long enough for my size 12 foot...will be replacing with a peg at least 1/2" longer...another option is to add the CJ Designs extension, but they are pricey starting at $135.

CJ Designs bolt on extensions....Standard adds 1″ length and 1/2″ width ($139)...Long adds 1 5/8″ length and 1/2″ width ($145)
