SHIMANO PD-MT520 SPD Pedals | Silver
Even with the Shimano MT520 pedals—which are not part of any specific groupset—you can tackle tougher trail or all-mountain rides with ease. They offer the proven performance and reliability of the SPD system without any unnecessary frills. The pedals stand out thanks to their open design and, in particular, their self-cleaning properties, which ensure flawless performance—especially when riding in mud or dirt. As expected from Shimano, the built-in cartridge bearings are meticulously sealed and feature smooth-running bearings; combined with the CrMo steel axle, they ensure an exceptionally long service life. For individual adjustment, the release tension can be easily set and readjusted using an Allen wrench.
The axle length is approximately 55 mm. Therefore, these pedals are particularly recommended for use with more comfortable touring shoes. Cyclists with a slightly wider pelvis should also choose them to achieve an optimal Q-factor.
