A strong choice for road riders and racers who want a lightweight, stable SPD-SL pedal with adjustable tension and a generous contact platform.
This is a performance-focused SPD-SL road pedal for training, fast group rides and competition. The carbon-composite body keeps the pair to 248 g, while the extra-wide platform spreads pressure across the shoe for a planted pedalling feel. A durable stainless-steel body plate helps protect the contact area from regular wear.
The low 15.8 mm stack height keeps your foot close to the axle, supporting a stable connection through hard efforts and fast cornering. Wide bearing placement helps distribute load, and the single-sided design presents the clip-in mechanism in a consistent upward-facing position when you are ready to engage.
Entry and release tension are adjustable, so you can choose a lighter setting for easier disengagement or increase the tension for a firmer race-oriented feel. The pedal includes an SM-SH11 self-aligning cleat set, with SM-SH10 and SM-SH12 options available separately. Independent testing praised its performance, 248 g weight, price-to-performance balance and availability of replacement parts, while long-term riding reports highlighted the broad contact area and comfortable float.
