Suntour XC-I Pedals (1982) Japan. First generation Suntour BMX/MTB pedals which had extremely sharp teeth on cage and support plate on chassis, features that were eliminated in the later model.

Suntour XC-II Pedals (1983) Japan. Revised version of the Suntour "beartrap" style pedal prized by BMX riders. Cage teeth dulled due to feedback from rider injury and plate removed from chassis as decided it didn't effect strength and lightened pedal.

just sold a restored set for £80. depends how good they are and if used or nos

MartyC:
I always thought that it was the other way round, XCI's no brace and shark teeth, XCII's brace and no shark teeth.  Both my OE XCII's have braces and no shark teeth, one set are genuine as supplied OE kit on my Robinson RSR (the bike is 99% original survivor).

I'll have a dig around tomorrow in my mags to see what I can find to verify one way or the other  :daumenhoch:
