The Shimano Ultegra PD-R8000 carbon road bike pedals strike an ideal balance of lightweight performance, efficiency, and durability for serious road cyclists. Weighing just 247 grams per pair with a 53mm Q-factor, they feature a carbon-composite body with a wide stainless steel platform for solid power transfer and stability. The low stack height enhances pedaling efficiency, while adjustable entry and release tension allows for a dialed-in fit and feel. Sitting just below Dura-Ace in Shimanos hierarchy, the PD-R8000 delivers pro-level function without the premium price, making it a top choice for training and racing alike.
