Racers: reduce lap times by 1 - 5 sec.

Non-racers: Go through every turn 3% - 30% faster.

Take turns with improved stability, increased safety, and higher confidence.

Utilizing foot anchors allows to shift bike-rider center of mass farther to the inside. As a result, rider can go faster through the same turn.

How Foot Anchors Work

Pictures of foot anchors, installed and standalone:

Foot anchors were tested by a few test riders. Most of them were impressed with how much more their bike was pulling to the inside.

Here are key points on how foot anchors work.

While in turn, rider is able to position his/her upper body very close to the ground and far away from the bike, even to the extent that rider’s inside shoulder may be touching the road, while the line of horizon appears vertical. Outside arm is almost stretched and may be resting on the tank.

Such body position is only possible if rider’s outside foot is hooked under the foot anchor. Otherwise, rider would risk falling off the bike. There is no need to press outside knee against the tank in order to anchor your body to the bike. Just drop your body to the inside of a turn in the most relaxed and comfortable way, and let the outside foot anchor hold you. All muscles except those of the outside foot are relaxed.

Rider’s body position being so far on the inside of the bike shifts center of mass of bike-rider system much farther to the inside. Rider has to go faster in order to follow the same line. Otherwise, the bike will hit the inside curb.

Foot Anchors are installed on the bike as follows: one on the left side - about 2-4" (5-10 cm) above the shift lever, and one on the right side - similarly, above the rear brake pedal. There are multiple adjustable positions, which can be changed with 19 mm wrench in less than a minute. When properly installed, the distance between the left foot anchor and the shift lever is such that there is about 1/4" - 3/4" (0.5-1.5 cm) of free play for the left foot when it is placed under the left foot anchor so it can stay there without exerting any upward pressure on the foot anchor and without any downward pressure on the shift lever. The same applies to the right side of the bike.

Foot anchors look a bit like footpegs, although they are not. Specially designed biased concentric grooves ensure that rider's foot reliably stays in place when upward pressure is applied, after rider's foot is hooked under the foot anchor. Otherwise, rider's foot easily slides in and out from under the foot anchor as if it has smooth and slippery surface.

More precise foot work is required from rider when placing his foot above the rear brake pedal, or above the shifter. Otherwise, foot anchors are not in the way.

It is very unlikely for a foot to be caught under the foot anchor. Thanks to biased concentric grooves, rider’s foot easily slips out from under the foot anchor as soon as rider relaxes his foot muscle, either on purpose or unconciously.

Foot anchor mounting plates can be trimmed once rider figures out most optimal position of foot anchors, thus reducing their weight. Foot anchors and mounting plates are machined from aircraft grade aluminum.

Below is one of our test riders at the track. Notice how his right foot is hooked under the foot anchor, which allows for his upper body to be way off the bike letting him to take this turn faster with the same lean angle of the bike. Notice how relaxed he is.

We are now in the final stages of development and not at full production speed yet. Therefore, only limited quantities will be available. Pre-order now, and we will ship your kit as soon as we make it - anywhere between a few days and a few weeks. Of course, we will update you on estimated shipping date. Please keep in mind that the sooner you order, the shorter your wait time will be.

Our money back guarantee:

Try Foot Anchors for up to 30 days, and if you are not going through turns faster, safer, and with more confidence, both on the street and on the track, feel free to return your complete and undamaged kit within 30 days for a full refund minus 15% restocking fee and minus shipping. The reason we charge restocking fee is because we make each kit individually, and with low sales volume we may not be able to resell the kit for your bike for quite some time.

Of course, we would love to hear from you, so don't hesitate to shoot us an email and let us know what's on your mind. We ride as you do, and want nothing more than to make our products better and safer.

Although we made our products as safe as possible, please keep in mind that ultimately it is your responsibility to assess and assume the risks associated with utilizing foot anchors. Please follow links above to better understand and assess the risks and safety concerns.

We are working on designs for other bikes/years, so if you don't see your bike among the possible choices, check back later. Don't be shy - let us know what bike you have, so we will know what to work on.

At the moment, we are offering silver color only, but will add black color soon. Other colors may be available in the future. Let us know what colors you would like to see.

When thinking about pricing, consider this. Aftermarket rearsets cost anywhere between $300 - $600 while providing incrementally better convenience. For a fraction of that cost, experience the paradigm shift leading to a leap jump in your riding.

Make sure foot anchor mounting plate will not be blocked by your foot controls. See examples when foot anchors cannot be installed: Example1, Example2.
