ShimanoDura-Ace PD-R9100 Pedals(Return to Product Page)

Got these for my wifes bike. Will have to wait until winter lets up here in the Midwest before she can take them out on the road.

Work extremely well and are extremely reliable. What else is there to say? Only drawback if I were an armchair cyclist is that its not 2 sided entry and weighs a bit more than speedplays?? But really non-existent negatives in the real world.

I have used Dura Ace products for a long time and these pedals are in keeping with the line.

Great performance, the platform is nice and large and they last and last !

A - can't go wrong with these pedals. A Bearings will last forever- years! These come with the blue cleats, so those normal riders will want to get a set of yellow cleats with more float for sure.

I don't have the best knees anymore and the adjustability of these pedals makes it easy to get in and out of them without bothering my knees.

I have used many different pedals, including speedplay zero, the cheap Shimano R540, Shimano Ultegra, and the dura ace. The Ultegra are a close second as they feel the same when in use outside of a few things

1. The dura ace pedals have a better bearing setup. The reason that this matters is when you start riding and are clipping in, the dura ace pedals always drop to the same angle to allow you to easily clip in. the ultegra pedals are also quite light, so without the better bearing setup, sometimes the pedals weight alone wouldnt be enough to get it drop properly, resulting in the pedal being upside down when going to clip in. not a major deal breaker, but makes it a little nicer to use.

2. the dura ace pedals come with the blue cleats, which allow minimal float. I have some bad knees from playing hockey growing up as a goalie, combined with a recent miniscus tear and arthritis at age 31. I find that a proper fit with less float is much better on my knees. a lot of float allows for a worse fit, but all the motion can cause pain. if you need blue cleats, it is a good reason to upgrade to the dura ace pedals. if you need the yellow with more float, you might want to just order ultegra.

3. the 4mm width available on the dura ace pedals is nice. It helps my knees track straighter which allows me to run less float as well. This also helps give you a little more crank clearance when using winter shoe covers. they do also offer the 4mm on the ultegra pedals, but they are tougher to find.

Great pedals. They should last a long time with minimal to no maintenance. feel very secure under you, yet dont require a ton of force to unclip when on loosest setting. Can use them easier with sneakers when needed for quick,casual trips.

I use DA 7900 and Ultegra pedals on my other bikes and, more often than not, have trouble clipping back in due to the pedal being upside down. It appears that Shimano weighted these DA9000 ones so that 95% of the time they are toe up, allowing me to clip right back in. Also, the blue cleats seem to snap in better and I like the reduced float.

Replaced a set of Ultegra pedals where the bearings had failed. These new pedals are nice. They clip in easier - seem to be better balanced to allow you to clip in easier than older pedals. Have about 500 miles on them and not seeing any significant wear. Have another set on my Sunday bike with the new plastic body, and they've held up nicely over the past 18 months.

Again awesome pedals! Comfortable, lightweight and easy to get into. Also they look great and match my group set. Could not ask for a better deal.

These are really nice pedals and last a long time. But what I really like is the re-sale value on ebay. DuraAce has a higher re-sale value. I like the Ultegra pedals too but DA tends to draw a much higher sale price on ebay. That difference tends to wash out any cost savings of buying Ultegra.

Like almost all Shimano equipment , these pedals are a great value for a high end product. Smooth entry and release, large foot platform, and last a long time.

They are everything I want in a pedal.

Like all Shimano Dura Ace, total quality

I bought these when they first came out to replace my first generation Dura-Ace pedals.

They are very light and offer a wider platform than the first generation.

I'm also using the Shimano blue cleats that came with set. They offer one degree of float as opposed to the yellows which offer seven or eight degrees. ( Can't remember exactly.)

I like the blue cleats much better. They do offer some float and pivot, but at least now I don't feel like my foot is sliding all over like the yellows seemed to allow.

This is my third pair of Dura Ace pedals. They are Shimano's best, and they are very good indeed. They are light, stiff, have excellent bearings, and provide a solid platform for great power transfer. They are easy to clip into and out of. Release tension is easily adjusted, and the user-serviceable bearings can be re-packed as necessary. A great pedal for performance riding at a price that can't be beat. As always, customer service was excellent and shipping was prompt. Highly recommended.

I'd been using Speedplay Zero for many years on all my bikes. When my shoes needed replacing I started to research pedals to see if I've been missing out on anything. These caught my eye and after reading the tech & reviews decided to make the switch. Years ago I had a set of Look pedals but was frustrated with the constant need to look (no pun intended) down at every stop light to reengage my shoe. That's when I gave up on them and went to Speedplay. This new Dura Ace set is awesome. On the first ride I could feel the difference in the overall support of my foot. They have a noticeable larger platform and are much stiffer for the out of saddle efforts. The price point was good and I have to say I don't think I'll ever go back. I also like the cleats much better...no worries about stepping of the tarmac onto the side of the soft dirt road where the debris or mud would often clog the Speedplay cleat. At stop lights when you clip out the pedals naturally swing to the position for easy entry. Although there's a slight relearning curve to toe in vs. step down...so far they have been flawless. Highly recommend them.

I have used Look pedals for a long time (since they became widely available late 80's early 90's). On my spouse's most recent bike she had DA pedals. This required different back-up cleats for each of us when we traveled with our bikes. My Look pedals were ready for replacement so I decided to try the DA. I have been very happy with the change so far. The DA pedals feel like they have a wider platform that the Look pedals and a lower profile.

We�re happy with these .. fun to use them next summer with a season of triathlon ..

Do you really need Dura-Ace pedals and their attendant high price? Probably not � but if the rest of your new build has a Dura-Ace drive train �then why not. You�ll feel all the better for it.

I've been a Look pedal guy since they first came out. (I'm old). But the new Keo's don't rotate when you unclip which makes getting into them again a pain. Additionally, the cleats wear out very, very quickly. The Dura Ace pedals have long lasting cleats and they rotate like normal pedals. They also seem to have a larger platform so overall, I like these much better. The only downside is the tangs at the edges of the cleats make getting intoout of booties difficult. I can live with that, though.

Nothing better than Shimano DA pedals. Great performance with no issues.
