Product with fragile or faulty bearings and mantel 0/20 in soap
Product arrived with little fluidity, I thought it would improve after a while but on the contrary the grease started to come out of the axle, result hard point, the bearings are certainly out of order in less than 3000km and mantel for only answer tells me that it is not guaranteed and that I only have to go to my bike shop... Disappointed with the product and with mantel

fine pedals, but wear out very quickly
have to buy new ones every 2 years because there is a lot of play between the pedal and the footplates. The carbon/plastic just wears away due to sand etc. Still buy the same ones again because otherwise I have to buy new plates for other shoes too. Next bike but different pedals....

Good quality pedals.
I'm no Shimano fan but these pedals are good quality. They are renowned for good bearings and lifespan generally. Feel stiffer than the Look Keo they replace. However, a touch pricey even when discounted and I wouldn't dream of paying RRP for them, ever.

Comfortable pedals, but definitely not cheap
I'd only ever used Look pedals before switching to Shimano SPDs. The good news is that the changeover was seamless, no small pains or need to make minor adjustments. I just switched the cleats over and clipped in! I've done approx. 120km so far on a mixture if road & turbo, all is good. The main reason I changed to these pedals was to benefit from the slightly larger footprint of the pedal & the extra 4mm clearance. So far I'm very happy, however they are not cheap.

better quality click pedals , highly recommended !
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
An ideal and simple upgrade for just that little bit more driving pleasure.
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.

Beautiful product
Purchased after using look pedals for a while. These have a wider bearing area and click in easier. These cleats also run nicer.

quality product.
Last time it was mount and go(PD-105). This time I'm doing a lot of tuning before I have the same (reliable) feel in both feet.
Pros & Cons

It's easy to engage, the support surface is very wide, and the wedges make it easy to walk on.
Shimano quality: sturdy pedals and cleats, no rubbing noises.

Cost a little, get a little!
The old Ultegra pedals were really running out of steam i.e. they started making peculiar protesting noises at the moment of applying power. The new ones do their job again noiselessly and without protest!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
excellent pedal that is equally good as the Dura-Ace
Very good pedals for ambitious road cyclists. The pressure can be transmitted very well to the crank. They are also lightweight and easy to mount and adjust. With proper use, the pedals have a service life of several years.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Correct store bad transport
Good online store and fast order processing service. Another thing is the shipping company that did not deliver the order, despite having paid for it, and did not leave any notification. I found out through the web store when I saw the order status. To my surprise I saw that I was supposed to pick up the order at the pack point. I have not yet been contacted by the carrier and Tampico store to refund the difference in shipping costs.

Smooth, secure, stable: a superb pedal platform
I’ve been been running Crank Brothers Quattro SLs (remember those?) for years now, but finally after I recently developed knee issue, I decided to try a wider and more stable pedal-platform (I.e. less inboard-outboard tilt). All options were on the table for me. I settled on Ultrgra R8000, for weight, price, width, serviceability, axle-length options, float and tension adjustments. It took me one ride to learn how to clip in out and dial in my new cleat position. It took me one other ride to fall in love with the R8000. My knee pains have gone completely, thanks to more forefoot stability. I had concerns about cornering with these, as they’re wider than i’m Used to, but the pedal profiling is excellent, and slightly ramped in cross-section, so I could pedal full-gas round pretty tight corners and happily not strike ground. They are silent, silky smooth, rock solid, with only a loud ‘clack’ in entry and exit. I would buy again, and again. Mantel were also the best price around, and delivered to me in the UK next day. Job done!

Great performance pedal for the price
I have used shimano pedals for many years and these new Ultegra's are the best by far. Easy and secure clip in first time, every time, the pedals are balanced so no looking down to see where it is. Comfortable on long rides

First Class
Fantastic pedals and a first class service from the guys at Mantel. I had spent years cycling road bikes with SPD pedals under the myth they are easier to get your feet out of. This year I was determined to try SL pedals for myself. This is my second set, asi have popped them on both road bikes. The confidence they have given me through the larger contact area is phenomenal. They are beautifully made, extremely light, and pretty okay to get out of.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very good product
I had a cheaper group of shimano pedals and replaced it with this Ultegra ones, mostly because I wanted a lighter pedal and more durable. The only thing I noticed was the wider platform that allowed a better support while pedalling. The quality and weight are very impressive and the price was unbeatable.

Good purchase
This pedals is highly revommended for any cycling enthusiasts, high quality carbon fiber with a wide platform, you can expect a great power transfer everytime you push the pedals. Its a great investment or upgrade, its Ultegra after all. I bought mine at Mantel.com the cheapest you can find online and ships to Ireland in no time. Highly recommended.

Great Upgrade!
I was using SPD pedals with my MTB shoe's on my new road bike. I have 1,90m and notice my foot were very close to my cranks so I’ve ordered the +4mm longer version and that improved my ride confort and knee position! I’ve done a total of 400km with them so far and I’m very happy with this upgrade. Impressive quality pedal and great service from Mantel, very quick delivery to Portugal! Ordered on friday afternoon received on Tuesday!

A comfortable and quality pedal system
This is a great quality pedal and the price offered by Mantel was between €30-€50 cheaper than some of the other online retailers I usually buy from. The SPD pedal provides a slightly larger footprint compared to other pedals and of course the extra 4mm space on the axel is great for anyone with a wider foot and hips.
