Our verdict

A carbon-composite road pedal on the SPD-SL system for riders replacing pedals on a road bike with matching shoes. The listing does not say whether cleats are included, so confirm that before ordering.

Overview

Clipping into SPD-SL cleats is the purpose of this road bike pedal, which has a carbon-composite body in black and a standard thread size for road cranks. The title is in German and names it a road bike pedal.

The reason to buy is a lightweight composite road pedal from a major component maker with a two year warranty. The limit is the thin, partly German listing, which says nothing about cleats, float or stack height.

Who it's for

Road cyclists who already ride the SPD-SL system and want a direct replacement. Riders on other cleat types, or those who want flat pedals for casual use, should buy a different pedal.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Road bike design
  • Two year warranty
  • Standard thread size
Cons
  • Cleats not confirmed
  • Float and stack height not listed
  • Title is in German

Performance notes

A clipless pedal holds the shoe through the cleat, so power transfer depends on the cleat match and shoe fit. The composite body lowers weight, and a full engagement before each stroke prevents slips. The listing gives no float or release tension figures.
