SPD-Style Bicycle Pedals

Since their introduction by Shimano in 1990, SPD-style bicycle pedals and cleats have become the go-to technology for professional off road cyclists, and have increasingly found favor among recreational riders as well. With their lightweight pedal design and low-profile cleats that can allow for normal walking in certain types of cycling shoes, SPD-style pedals give you the performance and versatility you demand no matter at what level you ride.

Advantages of SPD-Style Pedals

One of the key advantages of SPD-style bicycle pedals is their small size, allowing for lightweight pedals that help you shave off those precious few grams. The tight connection between pedal and cleat makes your pedaling stroke as efficient as possible. And for safety’s sake, a quick twist of the heel disengages the cleat easily, so you’re not locked in a second longer than you want to be.

SPD’s two-hole mount provides for ample longitudinal adjustments on your cycling shoes. This helps to ensure the proper fit and positioning, important considerations when you are trying to make your pedaling stroke as efficient as it can be. And SPD-style mountain bike cleats and shoes give you an additional range of adjustment over road shoes, since trail riding can make demands on your legs that road riding does not.

Remember, when using clipless bicycle pedals, always work with a professional to set up your cleats and pedals – this not only ensures better performance, but can also help prevent injury.
