Reviews over the

Shimano Ultegra R8000

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

Pros & Cons

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....

Pros & Cons

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

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.

Pros & Cons

better quality click pedals , highly recommended !

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Product is what you expect, new cleats included is nice.

Pros & Cons

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

Shimano quality: sturdy pedals and cleats, no rubbing noises.

Pros & Cons

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

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

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.

Pros & Cons

I'm really pleased with the Look pedals.

Pros & Cons

Does what is promised. Easy to assemble even if you are not a big handyman (like me).

Pros & Cons

Trouble-free pedals

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pedals work well, with money plates

Pros & Cons

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

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

Solid. Reliable. Value. Pick three.

Pros & Cons

Great set of pedals, thoroughly recommended. Using Ultegra group sets with Ultegra pedals on both my bikes. Can't go wrong.

Swapped from speed play after becoming fed up with on going maintenance and expensive cleats .

Pros & Cons

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

Very pleased with these carbon pedals. I have mine set to a good stiff clip in as well which helps if you like the firm contact

Pros & Cons

Ultegra SPD pedals are a decent price and quick delivery.

for price to weight ratio excellent wide platform gives stable feel have got some on my older bike 5 years and still performing well

Pros & Cons

Spent a while wondering did I really want to spend £100+ on pedals, but made the plunge and happy I did. Great build quality, nice looks, really solid feel and light for their strength and stiffness.

Lite, strong and they do exactly what they're designed to do perfectly!

Pros & Cons

I love these pedals. The extra spacing really makes a difference

Ik rijd al jaren met Shimano Ultegra pedalen en ben er nog steeds tevreden mee. Daarom blijf ik ze mij ook aanschaffen.

Pros & Cons

Ik ben overgestapt van de kleine Spd naar deze. Erg fijne pedalen en meer oppervlakte om het gevoel en kracht overbrenging te verbeteren.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Smooth bearings and wide platform. glad I went for +4mm version; Im 188cm tall and these suit me perfectly

Pros & Cons

Very easy to install, clips in perfectly, feels sold and operates better than expected, great product and service best I’ve experienced in a while, arrived ahead of expected date….

Pros & Cons

Tot op heden een zeer fijne ervaring, de extra 4mm aslengte is direct voelbaar en maakt de ervaring tijdens lange ritten aangenamer

Pros & Cons

Great pedals and works flawlessly with my power meter pedal spindles!

As with most shimano products it does the job its made for very well , have spent a few 3 and 4 hours in the saddle and find these pedals far more comfortable to use than my previous set

Pros & Cons

Very reliable and lightweight pedals that do the job

Pros & Cons

Great set of pedals, durable and works well with ultegra groupset

Pros & Cons

Stability very important, I had Time Xpresso before and I can feel the difference
