The new Ultegra SPD-SL pedals with long axles are made of carbon for high-level performance. The distance between the pedal and the crank is increased by 4 mm compared to the standard version. The Q-Factor is similar to that of a mountain bike.
The weight has also been reduced to 258g per pair without cleats. The advantage of this long-axle version is that it increases the adjustment possibilities for cleat width. This is often a concern for larger riders whose feet inevitably rub against the crank. By choosing this version, you will reduce or eliminate this problem.Shimano quality is also evident in the bearings and pedal body, which are similar to those found in the Dura Ace R9100 version.
