5 / 5

Highly recommended

- Coen 19 August 2026

I’ve been riding this for years in challenging MTB conditions. The pedal’s virtually indestructible – a real workhorse ;) More expensive models are probably a few grams lighter, but in terms of value for money, this one’s unbeatable for me.

Pros & Cons

Value for money
Works a treat – clicks and turns smoothly

Does what it should for a competitive price.

- Jan 18 February 2026

These SPD pedals do what it should for a competitive price. They are slightly more expensive than the PD-M520 version, but they use slightly more reliable material and also weigh just a little less.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful design
Does its job
Easy to assemble

Quality SPD pedals at a reasonable price

- Benoît 22 December 2025

Apart from a slight weight saving, the top models don't add much, quality pedals designed to last

Good pedals for this price.

- Erik 19 December 2024

If you are not so concerned with weight, certainly as good as the more expensive XTs

Pros & Cons

Easy to service
Look good
Price/quality very good
Play in cleats could be less

Shimano quality that can take a beating

- Thibo 18 November 2024

More expensive pedals that can take a beating. Shimano pedals can always be used for a good long time without any problems. By the way, these pedals also have the looks of the more expensive models, but at a fraction of the price.
