I can't tell when clicking in and out that it's any lighter than my previous 105-series pedals. Fine with me. You sit well, you don't slip out easily.

The quality you expect from shimano.

- Pieter, 15 December, 2023

I am prone to knee pain, which is why I bought these pedals and cleats. As these have some clearance, which will hopefully reduce knee pain. The pedals are of good quality, securely packed and they look like they will last a long time.
