Thanks to the large contact area, riders can fully focus on the trail with PD-ME700 pedals. Designed for seamless compatibility with Shimano's AM series shoes, the SPD Trail pedal offers more stability in rough terrain. Shimano developed SPD to meet the demands of a rapidly growing group known as MTB. By eliminating hooks and straps and integrating the pedal and shoe sole into a single component for power transfer, Shimano transformed the cycling world. This not only benefited power transfer but also enhanced the rider's control over their bike in increasingly adventurous cycling disciplines. There is no longer a single, universal MTB style, and accordingly, there is no longer just one SPD pedal. The landscape is diverse: from fast XC races to steep, rocky, wet, root-laden, and muddy trail rides. Shimano SPD pedals keep up. Shoe-pedal designs continue to evolve to meet the demands of your personal riding style while still providing the proven safety, reliability, and sheer durability in the field. System engineering. Tested by professionals. You have the choice.
