SHIMANO PD-R540

PRICE R895 WEIGHT 330G PER SET

Keeping with Shimano’s trickle-down tradition, the entry level R540 road pedals work in exactly the same fashion as the company’s much pricier Dura-Ace and Ultegra, but without the lighter, more exotic materials. The pedal system is based on Shimano’s long-running and successful SPD-SL design, making them proven all-round performers.

Importantly for beginners, the pedals offer enough tension adjustment for easy entry and exit, but can also be tightened up for more experienced riders. They come with a set of standard 6° float cleats, and are compatible with all current Shimano SPD-SL cleats.
