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
– Weight: 250g/pair (lighter than most alloy road pedals)
– Material: Carbon fiber pedal body / forged steel spindle
– Compatibility: Shimano SPD-SL cleats (road-specific shoes)
– Spindle Size: 9/16” thread (standard road bike fit)
