The Dura Ace pedals are lighter and smoother than even the Ultegra version. I am happy I upgraded.
Easy to ride on.
What I love most about Shimano products is that they just work. I've never really opted for Dura-Ace anything, but decided to splurge for my new Giant. These pedals look great, sleek on my ride. I love how adjustable they are. The fact that they are lightweight all the better!
Looks great, excellent price and I am sure they will last a long time. The overall functionality of the various Shimano component levels are similar. Whether Dura Ace or Ultegra you are getting an excellent product. I for one like having top end components. I ride a 15 year old titanium Litespeed Vortex which I will probably use for a very long time. I don't spend money on new frames but like having top endquality components that are silky smooth and look great.
Retired guy usually ride 5 days per week averaging 150 to 200 miles per week some easy some hard
This 9001 is the best model yet of Shimano Dura Ace pedals I have used dating back to 7800 stuff
Nice platform very positive entry and firm feeling
Light Weight, easy fitting, easy install. Awesome Pedals.
Use on one of my road bikes. Easy to install. Light and efficient
This is my third set, they work well and I have never had a problem of any type. Highly recommended
These are great. They work flawlessly. I had the previous 9000 pedals and only replaced them due to a crash. The bearings are super smooth and these are lighter than the 9000 version.
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.
I use these pedals daily and the cleat walking pads are super durable!
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 got these Dura Ace pedals to replace Look Keo's. I like the wide platform better, and also like how the pedal is in a consistent position for entry. It comes with blue cleats (1 degree of float)... I wouldn't have minded getting cleats with 3 degrees but so far my knees seem fine.
Whether its on road or off, Shimano pedals cant be beat. Their sturdy, dependable, low maintenance and they complete my Dura-Ace build.
Really nice pedals, holds the cleat firmly. I had a lot of play in my Looks, as well as a creaking sound. No issues whatsoever with the Dura Ace. I would highly recommend
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.
Love the pedals!
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.
