Good pedals with fine pressure suspension.

- Ton., 16 September, 2025

The weight t o z of my old look pedals is disappointing. Hopefully they will turn a bit smoother after some longer use. Otherwise okay.

Pros & Cons

Good adjustment
Reliable pedal
Wide, good pressure distribution
After about 2000km, the bearings still run quite heavily

- R.W., 19 March, 2025

The bearing work, weight and rolling resistance is really top notch! Price could be a bit lower but it's really worth it in the end. Then Mantel's delivery speed and reliability.... Top!

Very good pedals

- Maurice, 7 February, 2025

Due to Ultegra-mounted road bike, purchased these matching pedals. The precursor of these are on my old bike and like them very much. Hence the purchase of this type for my new bike.

A top-of-the-range reference for demanding cyclists looking for performance and lightness

- Simon, 23 October, 2024

After just a few hundred kilometres, these pedals stand out for their remarkable stability and efficiency in both sprints and long distances. The clipping action is precise and secure, with a clean engagement that inspires confidence. Despite being sensitive to wear marks on the carbon, the mechanism remains impeccable. Adjusting the tension requires a little attention at first, but then you can find the ideal compromise between support and ease of unclipping.

- Antoine, 7 August, 2024

Best value for money for a pair of pedals. This is the second pair I bought from MANTEL for my second new bike. I rode 50,000 km in 5 years with the first pair, which are still in use on my first bike and have never needed any maintenance. It's a great product that retains its qualities over time.

Fine pedals, top service

- Birgit, 2 August, 2024

Very nice that a Mantel service mechanic nearby helped briefly when I couldn't manage to unscrew the old pedals. That will make me come back in the future.

Super pedal, gives a good and direct feeling of power transmission.

- Milo, 29 July, 2024

After years of Time Expresso pedals, made the switch to these juggernauts. I like them, with the yellow plates even 1° more freedom of movement. Thanks to the 4 mm extra axle width, tapping the rear fork with the heel is a thing of the past.

additional 4 mm wider shaft
freedom of movement

Absolutely recommended

- Sjoerd, 28 July, 2024

Switched from Look to Shimano after years. More because I found the wear of Look bizarrely high and saw around me more riders cycling with Shimano. Currently, I have ridden almost 500 km with these Ultegra pedals and so far I am fully satisfied. In my opinion, clicking in and out is easier than with Look pedals and an incredible amount of confidence/grip when turning on. Also at high speed.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful design
Easy to assemble
Feels very solid and inspires great confidence
Good adjustment

Great pedals for road bikes

- J., 12 January, 2024

The ideal combination of performance, comfort and design makes the pedals perfect for me.

- Yannick, 7 December, 2023

The Shimano Ultegra R8000 SPD-SL carbon pedals convinced me with their impressive lightweight construction and high-quality workmanship. The carbon design is not only visually appealing, but also noticeably reduces the weight. The wide contact surface ensures a stable footing and the precise adjustability of the release hardness allows for individual customisation. All in all, these pedals are the perfect choice for me - they offer outstanding performance, comfort and an aesthetic design.

Price-quality a great set of pedals with sealed bearings.

- Jesse, 14 August, 2023

Very nice pedals. Thanks to the sealed bearings, these pedals last longer and keep running smoother. The price is only slightly higher than the 105 model and therefore really the right choice for me. Turns very smoothly and lightly. Cleats included. I don't want anything else!

- Danny, 30 September, 2022

The product is simple to put on, although this cannot be done with a socket wrench because of but only with an Allen wrench. However, the finish on the pedal axle is therefore tight. The pedals feel super light and feature the standard tensioner for the SPD-SL click system. For me, the ease and quality of clicking in and out and the feeling of having almost nothing under your shoe makes this a perfect improvement for my bike and my riding enjoyment.
