Shimano's SPD - SL pedal technology aims to directly transfer more power from your body to the bike. It seamlessly integrates the shoe and pedal, acting as one highly efficient unit. Features include a carbon fiber - reinforced resin pedal body, a wide contact area, and it weighs just 265g per pair, 25g lighter than the PD - 5800. Benefits are optimum power transfer, lightweight design, and an aerodynamic look. Specifications: the pedal axel is made of Chromoly Steel, it belongs to the 105 series, is of SPD SL type, from the 105 R7000 generation, has a carbon pedal body, and a cartridge axel marked 'X'.
Using these pedals is easy. First, make sure your shoes are compatible with the SPD - SL system. Clip your shoes onto the pedals and you're ready to go. When cycling, the wide contact area will help you transfer power effectively. For safety, always check the clips before each ride to ensure they are working properly. To maintain these pedals, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the carbon fiber parts. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting of the Chromoly Steel axel.
