Product Description

Featuring a carbon composite body for serious weight savings and high levels of rigidity, the Shimano Ultegra PD-6800 SPD-SL Pedals are a great choice for the competitive cyclist and casual, everyday rider alike. The pedal’s wide platform enables high levels of energy transfer, ensuring maximum efficiency on the road. Wide bearing placement maintains a uniform load distribution for stability. Its short carbon fibers make it just a touch heavier than Shimano’s featherweight PD-6900, yet it offers a similar level of performance without the sticker shock. They retain the same satisfying retention and release mechanism of SPD-SL pedals for easy use, and a stainless steel cover protects the pedal’s carbon body from abrasion while reducing flex for maximum efficiency.

Product Reviews

Solid pedal system. Cliping in takes some getting used to, but otherwise, awesome!

Clipping in is not as easy as I thought, but they are awesome pedals. They almost damn near always end up front side up, and are smooth pedaling. The weight isn’t a big deal on a spin bike, but the performance is. They came adjusted to light release, which was a good thing. The cleats are astounding in that they hardly ever slip on tile floors.I would recommend them for anyone that is looking for a good clip-less pedal system. I’m impressed. The build quality is typical Shimano A+.Happy I am…

Pedal for the Warrior and Winner!!!

I am just a weekend warrior (it hurts my heart to say that because in my mind I am so much more than that), but these pedals are more than adequate for everything I can throw at them. They clip smooth, are easy to use and just work! I only put between 50-75 miles in per week and never have to think about the pedals except when someone asks me, “what kind of pedals do you use”. I tell them, “Ultegra’s” and they always respond, “yeah, I have been wanting to get a pair of those”. Don’t be that person! Be the person who has the pedal that everyone has been wanting to get.

A lot of bang for the middling buck

These are only a dozen grams heavier than the Dura Ace but two dozen lighter than the 105.While the Ultegra is 30% more than 105, it is 45% less than dura ace.Very nicely packaged, delivering unblemished, fine finished product.Clip tension is preset to low.My pair weigh 260 grams total (no cleats).Box included cleats and all hardware.8mm allen key install; ³⁄₈ socket driver is great.

the pedals are great. Very light and easy to install

I ordered the regular pedals but Amazon sent me the +4MM size. I had to return it and went directly to the seller to replace them with the correct item. Look at the side of the box before you install them. Regardless, the pedals are great. Very light and easy to install. I have Ultegra components on my road bike now and thought these would be the right addition to my setup. Clipping in and out is easy and i didn’t need to adjust the tension from the way it was set up from the factory. It will take a few rides before they loosen up a bit and hang down correctly.

great pedals

replaced my worn out look pedals with the 6800, I really like the cleats very comfortable to walk in and designed so they don’t wear out as fast they click in very easily, very well designed pedal you won’t have to flip the pedal to click in they are balanced to be vertical so your shoe slides right in, was a difficult decision between the look keo and the Shimano I feel I made the right choice…..on trac shipping is great I ordered on friday morning and got them monday afternoon three days sooner than promised!!!!!!!!!!

Great pedals. Light, smooth, great value

Love them. I replaced a pair of Speedplays which were causing all kinds of foot pain for me. I switched to these, and they’re lighter and distribute the load of my foot much better over the spindle. Less pain from my carbon-soled shoes. the also corner very well, and the bearings seem great. I’ve been putting 100-200 miles a week on them since I bought them and have been incredibly happy.

These pedals are great! They come with a set of cleats

These pedals are great! They come with a set of cleats, so don’t make the mistake of ordering cleats too (like I did). I’ve been using the cleats for about 2 months now and have seen a huge improvement in my biking performance. They’re easy to clip into and out of, and I love how lightweight they are. Recommended to me by a friend, and I’ll pass on the good recommendation!

Excellent, difficult to release.

No faults other than very firm to release even on weakest setting. I mean very firm.Otherwise, perfect. Silent, no clicks or hitches. Far, far better than 2 pairs Look Keos which I could never get rid of clicking/rocking if pressure was not perfectly applied. I will never go back to the Keos.

Fantastic
