The Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 pedals are made from lightweight carbon fiber. Their large platform provides stable support for the foot and efficiently transfers the rider’s power to the drivetrain. The use of a stainless steel plate minimizes wear and protects the body from abrasion. The optimal placement of the bearings improves the rigidity of the structure and ensures even load distribution while cycling. These pedals are designed for road bikes and triathlon. They stand out for their low weight (248 grams per pair) and wide pressure surface, which translates into pedaling efficiency. The PD-R8000 pedals are compatible with SPD-SL cleats and are characterized by high durability and reliability. The carbon fiber SPD-SL pedals from the new Ultegra R8000 group offer professional technologies, a profile 0.7 mm lower, and a weight 12 g lighter compared to the previous PD-6800 model. As in previous years, a version with a 4 mm longer axle is also available.
