The Ultegra R8000 SL SPD carbon road pedals from Shimano is designed as a high-performance road SPD pedal. The light weight carbon pedal body provides a large contact surface that maximises power transfer and support. A low profile pedal body increases clearance when cornering. The large binding allows for quicker engagement and more efficiency pedalling paired with a open design allows for easy access and cleat adjustment. The Ultegra R8000 use a low maintenance sealed cartridge bearings.
Born of the pro tour demand for optimal power and endurance, the low-profile pedal technology has expanded to a wide range of cyclists, including competitors at all levels, sport, club and recreational riders. SPD-SL is a road pedal platform systematically engineered with SHIMANO footwear to transfer more power from your body to your bike. For pro riders the extra-wide, low-profile cleat distributes energy more evenly over a wider surface and transfers it more efficiently to the bike, under the most extreme pedaling loads. No wasted movement. No loss to flex, voids or mismatched shoe/pedal designs. It’s a core advantage that helps win races. The same energy efficiency that powers pro riders to the podium enhances the experience of other rider categories. Increased endurance for longer rides. More comfort and fun! System-engineered. Rider-tuned. You choose.
