Indestructible classic

- Hildo, 18 December, 2023

Shimano pedals always click in and out well. Had the 520 but the 540 is easier to maintain. In fact, you don't need a special tool to lubricate it. Which is necessary when using on the beach.

Pros & Cons

can be maintained by yourself
fine click mechanism
good price-quality ratio
Perhaps a somewhat dated design.

Great pedals, do what you expect from them. Great value for money.

First rode my fully with large flat pedals. Now switched to SPD. Likes them just fine. Clicks in and out easily. Never touch the ground in corners. More control and security when MTBing.

This product is okay.

- Johann, 30 August, 2021

Know this product. In the 1st product, the bearing was broken in a pedal after 4 years (the 1st time). Otherwise, there were no problems.

Best choice for XC in wet conditions

- Bartosz, 22 July, 2021

Very durable and "long-lived" pedals for XC and gravel. You pay premium for an upgrade in terms of the pivot design and weight compared to PD-M520. The bearings are better protected from wet and snow than in M520.

Pros & Cons

Reliability
Robustness
very sleek
nothing really

5 / 5

Good mountain bike / gravel pedals

- Aurelien, 2 July, 2021

Ordered for a gravel bike. I already use this type of pedal on my Xc mountain bike, so for me it's a safe bet. And Mantel's responsiveness in processing and dispatching orders is really appreciated.

Pros & Cons

Easy-to-use Spd system
Shimano quality
Weight/price ratio
Support surface a little short
