By eliminating toe-clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into a single, unified power transfer system, SHIMANO changed the industry; not only boosting power to the pedal, but also the rider’s control over increasingly adventurous styles of riding. Today there’s no single MTB style, and no single SPD pedal to match. It’s all over the landscape, from fast paced XC racing to steep, rocky, wet, rooted and muddy trails. SHIMANO SPD pedals are keeping up. The legacy of “in-the-dirt” dependability, reliability and sheer endurance continues as shoe-pedal designs evolve to meet the needs of your personal style of ride. System-engineered. Rider-tuned. You choose. On/off the bike: - SPD is a system that performs whether you’re on or off the bike. It makes pedaling more efficient with a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles and the recess cleat makes walking more comfortable. You can pedal with greater efficiency, stability and comfort with the SPD system. Optimized Shoe Last: - The toe-spring section of a cycling shoe plays a key role in supporting efficient pedaling. Too high, and it causes increased tension in the plantar, calf, and hamstring muscles. Too low, and you get a bowlegged, inefficient pedaling form. Extensive research by Shimano´s R&D experts has produced a superior shoe last design with an optimized toe-spring section that promotes a smoother, more energy-efficient upstroke. Built based on feedback from pro riders, Shimano Dynalast helps reduce energy loss on long rides, letting you keep more in the tank for that final sprint to the line.
