Reviews
A sure bet in terms of value for money and reliability.
"A sure bet in terms of value for money and reliability. I recommend it."
Defective
"I bought these at the end of February, but I wasn't able to install them until today (new bike). Unfortunately, the threaded hole on the left pedal was poorly machined at the factory, making it impossible to install. I checked with another pedal, which fits perfectly on the crank. €78 down the drain."
Perfect for the price
"No complaints—it works great. It's heavier than the XT models, but also much cheaper."
Great value for the money
"Great pedals for the price. Easy to adjust and very smooth-rolling."
Reliable and safe pedals!
"After experiencing some issues and discomfort with HT Components pedals, I swapped them out for this Shimano model. I use them for road and gravel riding. Clipping in and out is simple and effective, with a little click that confirms you’re properly secured. They don’t come undone unexpectedly when you extend your knee to take corners. In short, I’m completely satisfied with them after the first 400 km I’ve ridden with them."
Super tough
"Super durable pedals—I've had the same technology on another bike for at least 15 years! They haven't budged an inch!"
Awesome!!!
"The pedals on my commuter bike do the job, and they're indestructible."
A safe bet
"Easy to assemble, perfectly pre-adjusted, and provides good support. We'll see how durable it is in the long run—it's been through a lot of mud baths and pressure washers."

"These are my first clipless pedals, and they're great. I use them with SH-56 cleats. I've never fallen off. They give me peace of mind when riding on gravel. Every now and then, I add a little oil to lubricate the black springs. 10/10."
