Shimano 105 PD-R7000 SPD-SL Road Pedals in Black

The Shimano 105 PD-R7000 SPD-SL pedals are a dedicated road cycling component designed for efficient power transfer from rider to bike. They utilise the SPD-SL cleat system, which provides a wide, stable platform to maximise energy efficiency during pedalling strokes. This design is particularly beneficial for road cyclists and triathletes seeking to optimise performance over long distances or during intense efforts. Constructed with a carbon fibre body, these pedals achieve a lightweight build while maintaining structural integrity. The inclusion of a stainless steel cover enhances durability against wear from repeated cleat engagement and disengagement. A sealed bearing mechanism helps protect internal components from dirt, water, and road grime, contributing to consistent performance in various weather conditions. The adjustable cleat retention system allows riders to customise the release tension to match their preference and riding style, offering a balance between secure foot placement and easy dismount. These pedals are best suited for road cyclists, from committed enthusiasts to regular club riders, who value a reliable, performance-oriented pedal system. The single-sided design and Chromoly steel axle contribute to an overall weight of approximately 265 grams per pair, supporting a lighter bike setup. They come supplied with SM-SH11 cleats offering 6 degrees of float, which can help reduce knee strain. The combination of materials and engineering makes them a practical choice for daily training, long-distance sportives, or competitive road racing.
