Designed for road cyclists, the Shimano PD-RS500 represent an excellent entry point into the world of clipless pedals. They are suitable for beginners as well as regular riders looking for reliable, comfortable, and high-performing equipment.
Features designed for performance
The PD-RS500 pedals use the SPD-SL system, Shimano's benchmark for road cycling. Their extra-wide platform improves foot stability and optimizes power transfer to the drivetrain, allowing for more efficient pedaling during sports outings, training, or long distances.
Among their main advantages:
- Compatible with Shimano SPD-SL SM-SH11 cleats (included), offering a 6° float angle for more natural pedaling.
- Reduced spring tension, ideal for easier clipping in and out, especially for cyclists discovering clipless pedals.
- Large contact area ensuring excellent stability and better efficiency.
- Chromoly steel axle and sealed bearings for great durability and minimal maintenance.
- Release tension adjustment, allowing the pedals to be adapted to the cyclist's experience level and preferences.
For which bikes?
The Shimano PD-RS500 are exclusively designed for road bikes equipped with SPD-SL compatible shoes. They are perfectly suited for:
- endurance road bikes;
- racing bikes;
- training bikes;
- fitness bikes or road bikes used for long rides on asphalt.
They are not designed for mountain biking, technical gravel, or urban cycling requiring walkable shoes. For these uses, Shimano offers the SPD two-bolt system.
