Designed for the commute & tour, the XT level T780 Pedals combine Shimanos classic SPD mechanism on one side with a stable platform on the other so you can ride in either cleats or normal shoes. The SPD side of the pedal features a low profile platform for maximum contact area for excellent support & stability while the flat platform side has additional grip on the platform for enhanced hold on normal shoes. Lightweight forged alloy body combined with a chrome-moly axle & sealed cartridge axle system provides minimal, simplified maintenance combined with high strength & a low weight.
