    I am though technically i am required to find if such a product is required... there doesn't seem to be allot of plastic pedals out there that perform very well... they seem to be just there as a basic cheap option...

    Many DJers are turning to basic plastic flats like this:

    Less damage to their shins, cheap to replace and out and out grip is not always a consideration.

    But for plastic to overtake metal will take some engineering - steel pins are much, much harder than plastic studs, and last a lot longer. The whole structure is stronger.

    Even those Gusset pedals are heavier than some metal ones, and only 25g lighter than the 30 quid Wellgo Mg1.

    But i'm not convince by plastic pedals in the a good crash with rocks or anything.

    I tend to agree, but then someone pointed out that I use Shimmy DX's which have a plastic/resin case and they never seen to break?
