Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 SPD-SL Road Pedals | 4mm Longer Axle | SM-SH11 Cleats Included
Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 SPD-SL Road Pedals | 4mm Longer Axle
Lightweight Ultegra-level road performance with a 4mm longer axle for riders who need additional stance width.
The Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 SPD-SL pedals are built for cyclists who want a lightweight, efficient, and highly refined road pedal system. Featuring a carbon-composite pedal body, wide contact platform, low stack height, and Shimano's proven SPD-SL interface, the PD-R8000 delivers excellent power transfer and dependable engagement for training, racing, and long-distance road riding.
This specific version features a 4mm longer axle than the standard PD-R8000, increasing pedal stance width for riders who prefer or require a wider foot position. This can be especially useful for fit considerations where additional heel, ankle, crank, or frame clearance is desired.
The extra-wide platform provides a stable connection between shoe and pedal, helping distribute pedaling forces efficiently across the cleat. A low stack height further improves the direct connection between rider and bike, while adjustable entry and release tension allows the engagement feel to be customized to personal preference.
At approximately 248 grams per pair, the PD-R8000 combines pro-level performance with everyday Ultegra durability. Shimano SM-SH11 SPD-SL cleats are included.
