Description
The ultimate goal of Shimano’s SPD-SL pedal technology is to transfer more power from the body directly to the bike.
Inspired by a Tour de France legend and realized through the legacy of Shimano Systems Engineering, SPD-SL integrates the shoe and pedal so they perform as a single ultra-efficient component.
The extra-wide low-profile cleat and binding mechanism creates a highly stable interface between the shoe and pedal, in a super lightweight design. No wasted movement. No loss to flex, voids or mismatched shoe/pedal designs. It’s why so many Pro Tour and serious riders use SPD-SL.
Shimano PD-R550 Carbon Road Pedals – Entry-Level Carbon Performance
These low maintenance pedals are designed with increased stability for ease of use and improved power transfer. Â The carbon composite body keeps the weight down and the platform is extra-large to give you a great target for your cleat. The carbon pedal body is equipped with a stainless steel wear plate for stiffness and increased durability.
The Shimano PD-R550 SPD-SL Pedals come with a set of SM-SH11 floating cleats and all of the necessary mounting hardware.
