I love the look of Satos.

Lots of adjustability and good grip for the track as well.

Also, plenty of spare parts in the catalog should things go FUBAR.

Hello,

I have the Attack Performance ones and am very happy: lots of adjustment and grip, very well machined. Changeable shift pattern, etc.

Cheers

I have the Vortex and I love them. Good adjustability and great grip. Also reversible.

LSL here. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Just look for what catches your eye and buy.

In another rear set thread, there was a comment that having the pegs flip up is attractive, otherwise at track speed crashes, the rear set could cause the bike to catch and flip causing a lot more damage than you'd like. Personally this would be on my must have feature list.

This would have been me. At low/medium speeds, the fixed pegs can act like a slider on their own and save a bit of $$ in repairs. Higher speeds can be a 50/50 though.

I think mine would break off before flipping the bike. Not a huge bolt like the frame slider.
