If you're looking to boost your cycling efficiency and match the stiffness of your Hollowtech II crankset, the lightweight PD-R8000 pedals are an outstanding choice. These pedals feature a carbon composite, extra-wide platform that offers excellent support and stability. With a reduced stack height, they efficiently transfer all your power to the drivetrain. Each set comes with one pair of Shimano SH11 cleats. The pedals have a lightweight carbon-composite body, an extra-wide platform for better power transfer, a durable stainless steel body plate to reduce flex and wear, wide bearing placement for stable load distribution, adjustable entry and release tension settings, and the high-quality, durable SHIMANO style that cyclists love. Model No: PD-R8000, Series: ULTEGRA R8000 Series, Color: CFRP, Average weight: 248 g/pair. There's a 4 mm longer axle available, wide platform, 33° road clearance, single-sided binding, cartridge axle, included SM-SH11 cleats, cleat retention adjuster, optional SM-SH10 and SM-SH12 cleats, road type, SM-PD63 reflector, and a sealed mechanism with a 14.6 mm stack height.

Using these pedals is straightforward. First, attach the included Shimano SH11 cleats to your cycling shoes following the instructions. Then, clip your shoes onto the pedals when you're ready to ride. When you want to stop, simply twist your foot to release. For safety, make sure the cleats are securely attached before each ride. To maintain these pedals, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap after rides. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the carbon composite body. Check the tension settings occasionally and adjust them according to your preference. If you notice any unusual noise or difficulty in clipping in or out, it might be time to have them serviced by a professional.
