I've ridden these on mountain and electric bikes, and several recumbent trikes. I've ridden other brands, but the SPD's are the most stable; beautifully engineered and machined. They've never failed me.
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.
I been riding a lot with XTR pedals the best of this pedals is easy to clip in and off. never had any problems, I do XC rides, good for climbing , flat and for descending are secure, no sniping off...! To me are the best...!
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.
Works great with my gravel bike
I'm using these pedals 10 yrs ago then switch to crankbrother now switched to spd i think the best pedal so for now on i'm using for life .
Switched to SPD pedals because they double sided easier to get into, also the SPD shoes are easier to walk with. I have these on both road bikes and mountain bikes and use the same SPD clear shoes
Best pedals I have used in 50 years of adult cycling, I have purchased for all my bicycles.
get these over the xt version for the lower stack height, not the 8g weight savings.
These short axle XTR pedals are ideal to properly align your legs, feet and particularly your knees to the crank.
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.

Currently using these on my cyclocross/gravel bike. Durable, lightweight, easy to adjust.
What needs to be said these are the finest
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
