I had been riding some Look Keo carbon pedals for many years. They were getting sloppy and generally worn out. I decided to try the Ultegra pedals this time because the Shimano products are generally pretty solid and well thought out. I did add just a bit of weight to the bike with these but those extra grams were worth it. These pedals are so much easier to find with the cleat and they function so perfectly that I pretty much have to call them perfect. The other factor that was a massive improvement was the cleat. I can walk with confidence on all kinds of surfaces now that I would have avoided previously. I also switched to the blue cleats but that is only about float and nothing more. While I'm sure the Dura Ace pedals are just a little bit better, I highly recommend these as a fantastic intersection of quality, performance and price.
I recently began converting my gravel bike to full road setup. New ties, and pedals . Shimano never fails to impress. To me better value than the Dura Ace model. The weight difference does not concern me..
It has taken me aeons to find a combination of pedals and cleat that suit me. I like to take photographs on long rides which obviously involve stopping and getting off the bike. Having knackered innumerable Look cleats by walking on them (and hobbling myself) with my new steed (Trek SL6) I thought I would try these pedals & cleats. RESULT! Not only are they really easy to clip in, and provide a wide three point contact surface to ease pressure on the sole of the foot, the cleats also give a stable walking surface on the road. Brilliant product, terrific price, great website and super service. 5 stars all round!
I switched from Speedplay. Easy set up, very durable. Nice flexibility yet firm peddle motion without any knee pain. Have them on both bikes.
I use these on my road bike especially for long distance trips of 4 to 7 days. I don't weigh 150 lbs so the pedals get a good workout.
This is my 2nd pair of pedals (I have a set on another bike). They are high quality and easy to use.
I've used Shimano road pedals forever and this design is their best yet. Previously being a Dura Ace snob, I built another bike to leave in another state so I didn't have to always travel with my bike. Ultegra seemed to fit the need. Since then I've purchased several more of these pedals as they work really well.
Upgraded from a set of Look Keo Carbon pedals. Love the silence of them. Even after dirt, rain, and multiple washes, they are still creak free. I have put roughly 1800 miles on them over the past three months.
I purchased these long spindle pedals. They feel so much better than my older narrower pedals. Love the simplicity of the SPD system.
I also have the dura ace 9100; these are very similar
I used to ride Dura Ace components, but Ultegra is so good now that when my old components wore out, I bought all Ultegra components. Like everything Shimano --- they just work.
Seemingly flawless in their design, build quality and performance these pedals will handle years of abuse and look good doing it.
Switched from two-bolt cleat. Foot pain gone.
Power transfer is great. Easy clip in and out. Sturdy and efficient. Cant go wrong for the price.
I have Shimano for years and the Ultegra pedals are equal or better than the Dura Ace pedals Ive used for years.
I purchased these after I had bought the dura-ace version. These feel exactly the same. Small weight penalty but huge $ savings.

Excellent product at a good price. Arrived within a few days with regular shipping.
You never hear any complaints about Ultegra pedals. How can you possibly go wrong? Nothing weird, nothing but pedals you put your feet on and they work.
These are really a solid product. The finish of the ultegra level is great. These pedals have so much adjustment in the cleat that it can accommodate nearly and position. I have the 5mm linger shaft version, which is perfect for a size 13 foot.
