Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 Carbon Road Pedals – Like-New Performance

Engineered for speed and precision, these Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 pedals combine lightweight carbon construction with rugged steel spindles for cyclists prioritizing agility and durability. Designed exclusively for SPD-SL cleats (e.g., Sidi Genius or Fizik R5), they’re perfect for competitive road racing, criteriums, or long-distance endurance rides where every gram counts.

Key Specifications
