Shimano XT PD-M8100 MTB Pedals
The Shimano XT PD-M8100 MTB Pedals offer both performance and value and are our best-selling SPD pedal. Featuring an aluminum pedal body and chromoly spindle, these XC pedals are lightweight at 342 grams, but are also built tough to handle the demands of off-road riding. The extra-wide platform on the PD-M8100s increases the efficiency of power transfer while the wide bearing placement distributes load more evenly. These pedals have a stack height of 16.5 mm which provides a stable platform for pedaling.
Pedals includes Shimano SM-SH56 cleats and all mounting hardware.
