Conventional pedal designs utilize frames with cam drives attached to springs. When
the player presses down on the pedal board the spring produces resistance, which
promotes speed and power. However, in the extended playing situations this resistance
can cause fatigue to the extensor muscles of the lower leg and foot.
Gibraltar's Catapult Linear Motion pedal was designed to permit the extensor and
flexor muscles to function naturally, allowing full range of movement of the muscles
and ankle. This results in a remarkable increase in muscle comfort, endurance and
precision in movement. The mechanical advantage of the design is in harmony with
the biomechanics of how the foot wants to work.
• Revolutionary simple linear motion design, no frames or cams
• Provides true response from foot to playing surface
• Promotes natural ankle motion to avoid muscle fatigue
