Unless your daily bread depends on your race resume, or you just won the lottery, saving money in areas where it doesn’t compromise performance is just a smart choice. The Shimano PD-M540 SPD Pedals include many of the same features of the XTR pedals at a fraction of the cost.

The open binding of the PD-M540 Pedals means you’ll never fumble to clip in no matter how tumultuous the terrain. The dual-sided design further facilitates entry. Additionally, it allows the pedals to remain mud-free for consistent performance. The spindles are durable chromoly and the bearings are sealed to further dependability. The cleat design of the PD-M540 recesses the cleat into your shoe so that if your shoes have a tread, the cleat sits flush and makes walking easy. They are ideal for both trail riding and commuting.
