Avon Shift Peg

A shift peg is the one control your left foot touches on nearly every ride, so its shape, texture and material matter more than its small size suggests. Avon's shift peg lineup is built around that idea: a machined aluminum body paired with a soft rubber contact surface, designed to improve foot comfort, grip and feel while dressing up the controls of a custom motorcycle.

Billet Aluminum and Kraton Rubber Construction

Avon shift and brake pegs are made from 6061 billet aluminum combined with Kraton rubber. The aluminum provides a rigid, durable core that resists bending and wear, while the rubber insert gives the boot a cushioned, non-slip contact point. Avon's stated aim is exceptional comfort and grip, with precise shifting and braking. Pegs are sold individually, and many designs are offered in chrome or black anodized finishes, so you can match the rest of your controls.

Avon Shift Peg Styles

Avon organizes its pegs into distinct families, each with a different feel underfoot:

• Custom Contour: A long-running favorite that pairs well with a wide range of Harley-Davidson parts without looking gaudy. Its waffle-checkered foot surface is designed to stay tacky even when wet.
• Air Cushion: Uses an air-cushioned rubber insert for a softer, more absorbent feel on longer rides. Chrome and anodized versions are available, along with themed variants such as the Rival and Excalibur designs.
• Gel: A soft gel rubber insert for riders who want a plush, comfortable contact surface, offered in chrome and black anodized.
• Contour Spike and Tribal designs: More aggressive, decorative looks for riders who want their controls to stand out. Tribal pegs are also offered for Victory and Indian models.

Matching Your Grips and Pegs

One of the practical advantages of Avon's range is coordination. The pegs are designed to match Avon's line of motorcycle grips, so you can build a consistent look across the handlebars and foot controls. Many pegs are sold as universal or custom-fit pieces, but it is still worth confirming the shifter shaft and mounting style on your machine before ordering, since fitment differs between Harley-Davidson, Victory, Indian and other custom applications.

Choosing the Right Avon Peg

• Ride feel: Gel and Air Cushion inserts are softer; Custom Contour is firmer with more tactile grip.
• Finish: Chrome suits bright-work builds, while black anodized suits blacked-out bikes.
• Footwear and conditions: A textured surface helps keep boots planted in wet weather.
• Fitment: Check compatibility with your motorcycle's shifter or brake pedal.
