The classic SPD PD-M520 pedal is a tried and trusted pedal because of its durability and good value for money.
Simple to use thanks to a double-sided clip-in system.
The Shimano PD-M520 enables you to clip in on both sides of the pedal. That makes this the ideal pedal for anyone who's just starting out with cycling, but more advanced cyclist can also have a lot of fun with this. The pedal isn't expensive, but does incorporate the same technology as the more expensive XT and XTR series. These pedals are a lot heavier than its more expensive cousins, however, but that does bring down the price tag.
Easy to clean thanks to the open binding design
The PD-M520 pedal has an open binding design, so mud won't get stuck in it. Plus, the spring tension can be adjusted to make clipping in and out easier or harder. The pedals come with SH-M51 cleats with three degrees of float.
In short, the Shimano PD-M520 pedals are durable all-rounders suitable for many situations!

Perfect pedals for gravel and MTB
