Shimano xtr race pedals are fantastic. No bearing issues, just smooth pedalling.
I've been mountain biking since 1987 and while I have tried other pedals, only Shimano has the one pedal I always want. Do it!

These pedals do the trick. I've been on SPD pedals in some shape or form for 30 years. They're bomber, decently lightweight, and reliable. It's safe to say that these are the gold standard for clipless pedals. Sure. There are lighter options, pedals with larger platforms, etc., but if you're looking for a solid pedal with versatility for days, these are the one to get.

get these over the xt version for the lower stack height, not the 8g weight savings.

I use Shimano SPD pedals on all my bikes, road race, touring, Mtb tandem and now on my new TT bike. This way, I can ride any of my bikes while wearing any of my shoes. I chose these pedals as my standard because, for me, they hit the sweet spot of functionality, weight, and cost. Their adjustability allows me to set the release tension differently on different bikes, and by using the two different cleats available for these pedals, I can have all the lateral play I want without fear of coming unclipped at an inopportune moment.

I will definitely purchase another set for another bike I have.

What needs to be said these are the finest
Review by Mike G
Lock in real well and great adjusting. Light weight. Cleats fit specialized shoes and are deep enough to not interfere with the soles.

Have been using them for about 2 months. They work great and seem to be of very good quality, as you would expect from shimano pedals.

These XTR's just work. I have another pair with several thousands of miles, and while a little beat up they spin perfect and engage as they did when new.

Best mtb pedal design

Easy install and adjustment. No problem locking in. I am going to order the flexible cleat. Would definitely buy again.

Flawless. Light. Positive engagement. Strong build. Fuss free. If you want/need SPD pedals and can afford these, think no further. Better than even the suberb XTs. What more can one say?

Frequent year 'round gravel and road riding. Easy enter and release. My first pair wore out and were replaced under warranty. They are easy to maintain so I'm on top of it more often now. One major design flaw: What's with the sharp concave edges on the ends of the spindle housing? Real ankle-biters if you scrape up against them. I will dull them off with a file once they're out of warranty (if they last that long!). The ends should be shaped just the opposite in a convex shape.

Shimano XTR pedals are light, durable and maintenance-free. The cleat to pedal attach point is smooth and consistent. No higher bar than XTR.

i have been a user of xtr and xt pedals for years. pros for these are that they are thinner in height. this is why i bought them. i have broken several pairs of xt and xtr's due to pedal strikes and this new series is a bit thinner. don't know if it'll help, but it can't hurt.
