Shimano Road Pedal PD-RS500

The Shimano PD-RS500 SPD-SL pedal features a lighter spring tension optimized for beginner riders and a larger entry target, making it especially suitable for beginner riders. A wider contact area guarantees optimum power transfer while a durable stainless steel body plate reduces flex and pedal body wear. As typical for Shimano, the PD-RS500 also benefits from features and technologies introduced with the top tier series. A cartridge axle with sealed mechanism guarantees long durability while a cleat retention adjuster ensures easy application.

SPD-SL is a road-specific improvement of this system. This pedal platform is designed specifically for the needs of world-class road racers. The seamless pedal and cleat interface provides more efficient power transfer under the extreme pedal loads encountered during racing.

Incl. SM-SH11 cleats with +/-3° angular float. Also compatible with SM-SH10 and SM-SH12 cleats (both sold separately).
