Excellent pedals, at a price.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable and lightweight set of pedals!

- Michiel, 7 July, 2020

Nice set, relatively light, not too expensive. If you prefer other plates with a different percentage float than the yellow ones, you need to purchase them separately.

Pros & Cons

4mm extra axle length gives more stability
Fine click, feels familiar
Good spring tension adjustment
Great stability between plate and pedal
Solid Shimano quality
Metal inserts scratch quickly
Standard delivered with yellow plates

Good quality pedals.

- Paul, 2 June, 2020

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.

Pros & Cons

Expensive

5 / 5

Great Upgrade!

- Artur, 7 September, 2019

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!

Pros & Cons

Adjustable
Confortable
Good Fit
Great relation price/quality

Good purchase

- Harold, 11 October, 2018

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.

Pros & Cons

Good looks
High quality carbon
Wide platform
None to mention

5 / 5

Very good product

- Miguel, 8 August, 2018

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.

Pros & Cons

Durable
High quality materials
Light

First Class

- Paul, 6 August, 2018

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

Beautifully made
Hugely confidence inspring
Very light
None that come to mind

Great performance pedal for the price

- Mark, 31 May, 2018

I have used Shimano pedals for many years and these new Ultegra R8000 are the best by far. The pedals are well balanced so a secure clip in first time, every time, no more looking down to see the position of the pedal. Comfortable on long rides

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
power transfer

Smooth, secure, stable: a superb pedal platform

- Will, 29 April, 2018

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!

Pros & Cons

Adjustable
Light, strong
Serviceable
Smooth and silent
Well made
