Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 pedals borrow heavily from Dura-Ace's flagship PD-9100 and deliver pro-level performance for cycling enthusiasts who care about their weight. Very wide Lightweight carbon composite platform offers a huge mounting target so backtracking from the red light and starting a critical hit is straightforward. The larger body also allows for more efficient power transfer and better pressure distribution so long days in the saddle don't cause your legs to overheat. Low profile design increases ground clearance increasing confidence when cornering and stepping on the gas.

Durable integrated stainless steel body plates help reduce pedal body flex and wear , and also provide a smooth surface of the studs promoting smooth swimming. Wide bearing arrangement ensures stable and even load distribution therefore the bearings last longer and roll more smoothly. Adjustable entry and exit tension allows settings from everyday easy entry and exit to vice grip such as capture necessary for racers or sprinters.

Body height of 10 mm from the center of the axle to the contact surface of the tenon reduces the stack height by 0 7 mm compared to 6800s and the weight dropped to 248 grams. Pedals include SPD-SL 6-degree floating cleats for 3-bolt pads and all hardware.
