This is a pair of Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 Carbon SPD-SL Pedals with SPD-SL Cleats. The ultimate goal of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal technology is to transfer more power from the body directly to the bike. Inspired by a Tour de France legend and realized through the legacy of Shimano Systems Engineering, SPD-SL integrates the shoe and pedal so they perform as a single ultra-efficient component.
The extra-wide low-profile cleat and binding mechanism creates a highly stable interface between the shoe and pedal, in a super lightweight design. No wasted movement. No loss to flex, voids or mismatched shoe/pedal designs. It's why so many Pro Tour and serious riders use SPD-SL.
Features:
- Durable and lightweight carbon composite body
- Extra-wide platform for maximum efficient transfer of power
- Low stack height, -0.7mm lower than PD-6800
- Wide bearing placement for stable, uniform load distribution
- Adjustable entry and release tension settings
- Includes yellow 6 degree float cleats (SM-SH11)
- 4mm longer version is great for riders who need the extra shoe clearance or wider stance

Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 Road Pedals (Black) (SPD-SL) (Standard)
Easy to screw into crank arms and they look great! They’re light, < 250 grams per pair, and they have a sleek, aero design that looks pretty appealing on most road bikes.
These are pro-level pedals, and it shows in stiffness. You may find these more difficult to clip into and out of than the entry-level SPD-SL or the 105’s. I recommend setting the tension to the minimum; my pair were two spins tighter than minimum. When you’re outside or on a trainer, it’s not that bad, as your weight and gravity help you clip in and out, but they will definitely feel more stiff than you’ll expect if you’re unfamiliar with them.

These pedals work great. they are a nice solid platform to ride on and much easier to get in and out of than my old pedals.
