Shimano PD-R8000 SM-SH11 road bike pedals, 4mm long axles - IPDR8000E1

The PD-R8000 E1Shimano s are high-end road clipless pedals from the renowned Ultegra R8000 range. This specific version features a 4 mm longer axle, providing extra clearance between the crank and the foot to improve biomechanical alignment for certain cyclists. They are particularly recommended for cyclists with a broader build, wider hips or those seeking greater pedalling comfort.

The extra-wide SPD-SL platform, combined with a carbon composite body, optimises power transfer whilst maintaining a low weight of approximately 248 g per pair. The stainless steel insert minimises wear on the contact area and ensures excellent durability, even after several seasons of intensive use. The sealed bearings ( Shimano ) ensure smooth rotation and minimal maintenance.

Supplied with yellow SM-SH11 cleats offering ±3° of angular freedom, these pedals set the standard for sport cyclists, recreational cyclists and competitors seeking efficiency, comfort and reliability.
